Thanks, everyone!

Austin, isn't that Lenox great? There is more of it here than you can imagine. It took YEARS to collect. My late mother LOVED it and wass very happy when I got it. She'd love to entertain with it. ONE person whispered to another guest, "They're just showing off". He has NEVER been back!!
I love to have nice friends, family here, sharing a nice meal, fun, frolicking, etc. THAT'S why I have those mini/mega meets. NOT to show off, but to SHARE. It's a great old place...a lot of blood, sweat and tears and DOLLARS have gone into it. It's still not finished, but, I'm getting there . A friend was here at the Sat p.m. party... we've been friends for 20 years. He lives a mile away from me, and this was the FIRST time he was ever in the house. He was surprised. Some have called it a "funeral home, a rectory, even a museum". Can you believe THAT?
I love garlands, etc. and usually put up 4 trees. This year, only 2 made it up. NOW, it has to come down.
As far as that wreath, I got it in a specialty store in Philadelphia, and those others came from an expensive store in Dunmore. The ONLY way anyone can get their stuff is to buy it AFTER Xmas at the "BIG CLEARANCE SALE". And, I did. I can't/wont spend that much on this stuff. I was very grateful to be in the right place at the right time. Perhaps a few more photos before the boxes fill up..
Thanks again for the very KIND comments.

John,

I completely agree! I doubt I have as much of it as you do though. And even if it was "showing off", who cares?! What's the point of having nice things if you don't use them?! My house has also been called a museum but I take that as a compliment lol.
 
lol, So did I.

One must always consider the source when snarky comments or inuendo are being made. As far as the "Holiday" patteron of Lenox..... I have a table lamp, (will show a pic) LOVE it,  egg dishes, cheese plates, service for 18, platters, covered dish, sandwich/bread plate, coffeepot, teapot, bowls, candlesticks, cornucopia, cand dishes, etc.


 A friend declared that she'd never seen THAT much Christmas Lenox in one place before. I also have tablecloths, napkins, shower curtain,  AND quilts for each bed in the house.  It COULD be considered, "over the top". Worse things have been said.  I also have "Autumn", (service for 8), and "Eternal", service for 18. Well,  some people drink,  some smoke,  some do drugs.  As Aristotle Onassis said to  "Jackie", " "You gorge yourself on beautiful things"............ Hoovers, for example.
 
I completely agree again John lol

I also have enough linen tablecloths, napkins, & chair covers to deck out a ballroom lol. I think Jackie also used to gorge herself on martinis and Newport 100s as well but I also drink, smoke and "gorge myself on beautiful things" of all sorts so I can't say anything lol
