Old Fashioned Christmas Tea | Garden Inspired Christmas E16 [NY,USA]

🎄Hello 🎄and thank you for joining in on my little garden story,
I am decorating my porch with items I collected from my garden. Also have you ever heard of barge board? That is the decorative element I put around my porch. I sourced it from Terrain. Have you ever made cinnamon buns with potatoes? I made mine with the Yukon Gold potatoes I grew. Please join my Christmas Tea as I invite my niece Jenny to come over with her girls. I hope you get a chance to make the buns for your Christmas table. They are an old fashioned delicious treat.
Thank you so much for stopping by today and spending some time with me. I truly am so grateful for you time, your comments and your likes.
