N O E L!
I purchased this redware N O E L plate last year during Christmas open house at one of my favorite shops on the Prairie in Fort Scott, Kansas ~ The Iron Star! It makes a vibrant statement on the built~in china buffet On Crooked Creek!
In keeping with our Rustic Christmas on the Prairie theme, I've surround the redware N O E L plate with all the natural elements On Crooked Creek held!
A wrought iron tray filled with pine cones from our years in Colorado! Although these were all found in the same area, the hues vary from light ~ to ~ dark.
Vintage spools used as candle sticks each holds a single knobby taper in the deepest caramel hue surrounded by wispy sprigs of cranberry, mustard and navy berries.
The same hues are found in this majolica tea set. One of my favorite sets for display On Crooked Creek!
The earthen green pottery jars purchased @ Nell Hill's in Briarcliff Village during our Kansas City Anniversary Trip this year are filled to the rim with more Colorado pine cones! Garlands of faux evergreen boughs are added to the base to soften the look.
Can you imagine my delight in finding this duplicate N O E L plate ornament when I returned to Iron Star's after Christmas $ale?
N O E L ~ a French derivative. . . meaning C h r i s t m a s in English!
The First Noel ~ a vivid narrative of the story of Christ birth ~ happens to be my very favorite of the Christmas Hymns! On Crooked Creek will be ever on the look ~ out for more N O E L decor items in the years to come. For Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year!!!
Until next time. . .

Pat, your redware plate is wonderful. I have a small collection of redware, but it is difficult to find here. I think I need to get to the Iron Star. Love the little ornament too. I'll have to take a photo and show my pieces sometime. Thanks for sharing. ~ sarah
ReplyDeleteHi Pat! That's a lovely NOEL plate! Don't you love that word? :)
ReplyDeleteEverything looks so pretty at your house.
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
PAt the plate is beautiful! And how charming (and a God thing) that you found the little ornament to match! And I love the green pottery. I bet the scent from all that pine is wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI love your redware plate and ornament! All of your rustic Christmas decor is so pretty, I am enjoying each vignette you have showed us. XO, Pinky PS, I have a post all readdy and THOUGHT I scheduled it to post this afternoon while we were at a party but it didn't. So, I obviously don't know how to do that:):)
ReplyDeletePat -- love what you did. I, too, love the First Noel. Love your plates and ornaments and I'm sure that you will find some new Noel things!
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, I love the Iron Star, too -- I can always find something there!
Beautiful lyrics, Christmas is endearing,

These days I wish peace and happiness come to your house.
Happy Holidays!.

ReplyDeleteSo beautiful, Pat! I love the redware.
ReplyDeleteIt is pouring rain here at the lake. KC or north of KC on the Mo side might get some snow. Usually when it snows there we get it too.
Merry Christmas!
Hi Pat...
ReplyDeleteI just read all of the sweet notes that you left for me over at my place...thank you so much for coming by, dear friend! I always enjoy our visits!!!
I love the "NOEL" redware plate, Pat! What a blessing...that you were able to find the ornament that matches it! The vignette that you created is beautiful...show casing your pretty NOEL plate. I love that you have Colorado pinecones too! I have been sticking them in all of my gift baskets to take to Texas. They don't have many pine trees in south Texas! Hehe! Thank you for sharing more of your beautiful Christmas with us! Ohh yes..and I nearly forgot...the green pottery that you found at Nell Hills...gorgeous! I just love that shade of green!
Well dear friend, I have been busy...busy with trying to get ready for our trip. We will be leaving this Thursday. I'm definitely like a "kid at Christmas" with anticipation of seeing all my family!
Talk with you soon and again...have a wonderfully sweet and blessed Christmas, dear lady!
Love ya,
Chari
Oh what a pretty plate. I love your vignette, it is so lovely and the plate is just the perfect touch. Hugs, Marty
ReplyDeleteHi Pat, I love rustic as a theme for Christmas, Your NOEL plate is wonderful, and oh wow, those green pottery pieces from Nell Hill are amazing! I love so many decor styles, my family room area is definitely "rustic country", it's so hard to photograph down there that I don't do it very often. Hope you're having a wonderful Christmas week! xo
ReplyDeletePAT I LOVE THE PLATE!Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeletePat, your redware plate and ornament are perfect with the pine cones for your rustic look.
ReplyDeleteWishing you a very Merry Christmas/Noel. :)
