Sometimes you win...

When St. Rose sells raffle tickets, I buy raffle tickets. The list of things I have not won is long. There are about five quilts that I didn't win, numerous digital cameras that I didn't win, music systems, computers, weekends in the Shenandoahs...you name it, I didn't win it. Until this Sunday. Six tickets on a hand-painted porcelain nativity set. I bought them on Sunday, the last day of the Christmas shop/tree sale at St. Rose. By that evening I had the small refrigerator size box with 15 pieces. To give you some perspective, the angel is 13 inches tall. The camel is 14 inches tall and 16 inches from tail to nose. The big worry was the cats, but so far so good, except for the straw under the infant. That piece is in the cupboard. No infant until the 25th, and then only with supervision.
