Feast of St Nicholas

Here's a post from last year. This year, the girls and I are reading the first book on the display past the candle, "St Nicholas the Wonder Worker", and of course, there were sweets in their shoes this morning! Elizabeth has a great post on St. Nicholas today.

My dear friend Tracey has set up her wonderful St. Nicholas mantel, and I thought you'd like to see where she found these treasures.

I know I'm a day late with celebrating St. Nicholas' Day, but I might just do it any way!
