Cranberries, orange, strawberries, cloves, cinnamon... smells so divine while cooking on the stove. It makes wonderful gifts and is such a treat on a bagel or toast. My vintage inspired Christmas Rose potholder reminds me of my summer roses. It will be a few months before I see roses again in my garden but the crochet petals flutter just like a rose does in the summer breeze.
I found a couple of beautiful vintage table linens at the thrift store this last summer and they are right at home alongside the Christmas Jam. My collection is small but slowly growing!
I truly enjoy forming the stitches of the crochet rose. Watching the rose take shape and begin to bloom right under my crochet hook makes for nice quiet winter evening stitching time.
Happy December!!! It's beginning to look a bit like Christmas here! Enjoy each and every moment of your holiday preparations. It comes around but once a year and each year is a gift to us.

Tanya, I love the vintage inspired potholder and linens! Beautiful red rose. The jam sounds heavenly. I would love the recipe. Have you shared it before? Thanks so much for sharing with SYC. I would love if you hopped over to Organized Clutter and linked this to our 'Creating Christmas' party. Her theme is vintage and I think this would tie in nicely! Her link is on my blog.
