Headlong into the Holidays
Sunday, September 21st, 2008In preparation for the Christmas Market and our online sales, I have been photographing our new holiday products.
Here are some pics of our Blackforest tabletop collection. The morning light was particularly spectacular as it streamed through the dining room windows.
