These are so pretty for Christmas!  Beautiful Annie Modica trays show Santa getting ready for his big night.  Practical and pretty…they serve cookies and milk beautifully (or something stronger after the children go to bed!).  $249 each.

Bacchanalia is a wild gathering of excessive behavior that includes drinking too much wine.  Actually, the true meaning is a little racier, but we’ve cleaned it up for this post.   So why discuss it at all?  Because Ann’s new gifts depict the grape and overall enjoyment of wine and we know you’ll like them.  And since you’re just looking at wine-related gifts and not actually drinking anything, you can have the fun and still face yourself in the morning.  (And maybe even get a Christmas present bought and squirreled away early.)

If you know someone who enjoys wine, perhaps one of these would make a good gift.  We have new food books, music CD’s, and accessories for your home, all ready for you to enjoy.  Come see them at Ann’s:

New trays from Annie Modica have arrived!  These two have Christmas scenes with Santa hard at work.  Who wouldn’t like cookies and milk served so elegantly?    For more about what makes Annie Modica so special, click here.

A lady’s dressing table is sometimes called a “vanity,”  a good name for the spot where one preens in front of the mirror.  Today’s busy life styles have all but eliminated this luxury, but the accoutrements are so collectible.  We’re talking about perfume bottles, which look really wonderful on elaborate mirrored trays designed specifically for showing them off. 

Vanity trays with elaborate perfume bottles make great gifts.  Buy them together or individually.  Remember a slower time, or just admire the pretty designs when you enjoy these dainties…vanity, revived.
