My Mother-in-law, Geraldine Bovbjerg Vedder, was 100% Danish. We both shared a love for all things Christmas.
I have a collection of Danish Nissemen. The one above is holding his giant porridge spoon. Here is a little more about him.
A nisse considers porridge his due and is greedy for butter. The legendWhen the Nisse Got No Butter on His Christmas Porridge illustrates the consequences of tampering with his porridge.
You can read more here: The Legend of the Nisse or Tomte.
The whole gang~
My dear friend, Jill, celebrated Christmas the Nordic way too and loved all things ginger. Here is a little quilt she made me. I just treasure it as I do our friendship. I miss her so much this time of the year.
I think she'd love that I paired with my leg lamp this year.
I'm late to the amaryllis party this year but finally got one potted up. Looks like I'm having twins.
My cactus is blooming early and looks beautiful in the morning light.
Have a happy week!
