There's not a gallery for miniatures because honestly there's just not enough people posting pictures of them. Some people do post them here though and some post them on the regular rose gallery. You may want to go there and request pictures of minis. For some reason it drives me crazy when I don't know the names of my minis. I have been able to I.D. some of them through this website: http://www.kordes-rosen.com/englisch/index.html Sometime they will put the name of the rose on the inside or outside of the pot that it comes in so check before you throw the pot away. The bigger minis are called Mini-floras. I don't have any recent pictures right now but as soon as mine start blooming again I'll post some. Laurie

Luvs, The tree is really a little tree. 20 years ago we had a store that opened right after Thanksgiving and closed the first week in January. They sold nothing but Christmas items and were, to me, kind of expensive. They had 2 of those trees for $40 each. I went in the day after Christmas with my Christmas money and bought and bought and bought at 50% off, mostly crystal for my real tree. I only bought 1 tree though and I have always wished I had bought both of them. It used to be very hard to find ornaments for the different holidays to use on the tree, but it is easy now. The candelabrum was a Christmas gift to me 36 years ago and I've always used it someplace in my house. It's really nothing expensive. Tangypsy, Thank you. I have always loved decorating for the holidays and now that Judith has shared her stacking plates and table vignettes it makes it much more fun. I still have quite a bit to buy to finish my table, but it's a start.

I looked at all of your pictures. It sure is nice and festive looking at your house.

Glad you ladies are getting started on Valentines! You may think the link below (a children's site) is a little 'childish' but many of the ideas can be "gussied up" and used for adult cards... it's all in the materials and skill level used. Anyway, it has great ideas, including pop-ups, one of my favorites! Here is a link that might be useful: Valentines at Enchanted Learning
