One more Holiday to celebrate, Russian and Greek Orthodox Christmas on January 7, 2017. As a little girl, I was privileged to celebrate two Christmases and two Easters.  I thought this was quite magical.

I wanted to share a new Russian icon that I have added to my collection.  This one is silver with painted wooden faces and hands, I decided not to polish it, I like the more rustic look of it this way.  I got this at the last Randolph Street Market.  Mark your calendars for the next Market, Saturday and Sunday, January 28 and 29 from 10 to 5 each day.   Go to http://www.randolphstreetmarket.com for the 2017 schedule, to purchase your ticket and while you are at it why not treat yourself, for the New Year, to a season pass.

Happy New Year!
