2025 Lenox Collection

December 25th, 2025 klwade Posted in Babbling and Observations, Holidays, Lenox Christmas China No Comments »

It is that time of year where I add to my Lenox collection. I have been collecting for several years so the options are getting less frequent. Lenox does retire pieces as they add new pieces to their collection. I happened to notice in my collection there was a set of plates (12) for each day of the twelve days of Christmas.

I completely forgot I had these plates. Looking forward to using them the next time I have a Christmas dinner party.

But onto what I bought this year. As I mentioned last year I have been focusing on the annual snowman figurines. So naturally I added the 2025 snowman to my collection. He is very cute.

I think he is a cute addition to the army of snowmen I have collected. They use the holly leaf design on his scarf that matches my plates. I can imagine a dinner table with all my snowmen down the center being cheerful and welcoming to all who eat at my table.

The other piece I bought was a small domed cover dish. I am thinking Brie or a cheeseball. Or perhaps some molded butter. It is not huge, but very cute.

Just when I think I was done, I got an alert from Amazon that this double dip bowl was on sale so I could not resist.

I have always enjoyed my Lenox pieces and have many Lenox Lynn Bywaters snowman figurines. I bought most of them many, many years ago. Of course back then I though $35 was expensive (or something close to that price, I guarantee that it was not even close to $100). LOL, now most of them are $150-$300. Oh that inflation. There is just something so cute about these figurines that my admiration for them has not waned even after decades of collecting.

Lets hope next year has a bunch of new goodies.

Thank you for checking out my blog and hope your holidays are special.

Additional Lenox Decor

While looking at Amazon, I found these cute Lenox Christmas Cones with scenes in them. They are about 12” tall and light up. I am such a huge fan of Lenox because their items are very elegant.

They should be delivered this Sunday and looking forward to adding it on my bookshelf.

Lenox Christmas 2024 Purchases

December 7th, 2024 klwade Posted in Babbling and Observations, Holidays, Home Decor, Lenox Christmas China No Comments »

Every year I purchase the Lenox Holiday pieces to match my china set. I have a bunch of pieces and add a few new pieces each year. Lenox will release complimentary pieces to match the place settings. I usually buy around Black Friday as the new releases are out and with a good sale price.

I got a larger piece which is the Lenox Snowman Cookie Jar.

Then I got this cute peppermint swirl candy dish with two snowmen.

Of course I wanted the cute snowmen salt and pepper shakers. I have a few shakers so there will be plenty on the Christmas table.

Then of course I picked up my third year of the annual snowman.

He looks so cheerful and happy. He makes me happy.

I wanted the Christmas Cupcake but Macys did not sell him. But lo and behold I found him on sale on Amazon from the Lenox shop and it was on sale.

Although I have not used the full set in years. I am hoping once retired that I can host Christmas again and have a table setting like below.

2023 Lenox Pieces to my Collection

November 23rd, 2023 klwade Posted in Babbling and Observations, Holidays, Home Decor, Lenox Christmas China No Comments »

Today is Thanksgiving and time for the Black Friday sales. As expected I am adding to my Lenox collection. They seem to have less and less special hostess gifts to buy each year. Not sure if I have bought it all or they are just limiting their new releases. But I was able to find 2 pieces to add.

I got the new annual snowman figurine. So now I have 3 to my collection. I have always been a fan of Lenox figurines and have quite a few pieces. That cute round face is adorable.

The second piece goes with my dining/entertainment pieces. It is a salt and pepper shaker set.

I probably would just put them on the table individually versus the tray during the actual meal. I think I have another salt and pepper set but not 100% sure. I really need to go and take an inventory of my pieces.

Until next year. Thanks for checking out my blog.

Annual Lenox purchases 2022

December 11th, 2022 klwade Posted in Lenox Christmas China No Comments »

Well I think I have purchased every single Lenox Holiday China piece out there as it is getting harder and harder to find a piece to add to my collection. But alas I did find a few pieces

Snowman Treat Dish

This cutie is a smaller plate that is perhaps 8 inches that has some depth. Perfect for a few pieces of candy or smaller food bites such as olives and pickles for the table.

Holiday Candy Dish Cocoa Mug

This is an adorable candy dish. Remove the top for some small treats. I am afraid I might break the lid so I must be very careful. A little under 6 inches it is big enough to hold plenty of treats.

2022 Snowman Figurine

This is the 2nd year getting the annual snowman. I really liked the one from last year and actually had no idea these existed. I guess since I am running out of options on collecting the Holiday pieces for my dining room I will probably focus on the figurines.

Merry Christmas to all collectors out there and may your collection grow yearly.

Adding to my Lenox collection

November 25th, 2021 klwade Posted in Babbling and Observations, Lenox Christmas China No Comments »

Well it is getting close to Christmas and it is almost Black Friday, so I decided to check out Lenox to see if there is anything to add to my Lenox Holiday China Collection.

I guess I must have bought it all (except the reallllllyyyyy expensive pieces) as they was NOTHING on sale that I did not already had. I really must do an inventory of what I have so I can figure out if I am missing anything. I did find a couple of nice to have items that I went ahead and bought for Christmas

I got this little bowl that has a tree that your perch on the edge. It is too small for anything much, but may be good for a dip or some candies. I got the tree and the snowman bowls.

I also got the annual snowman figurine. I really liked this one. The snowman with cocoa and cookies is very cute. I read online that they have been doing these snowman for 12 years. It is the first time I have noticed. I do have some other lenox figurines.

Most of my figurines are stored away in boxes. I wish to display them but have way too much clutter in my house. Maybe after I sell off some crap I will have more room. I have the snowman below. I also have one where all the snowman are having thanksgiving or some sort of party. I also have the monthly snowmen, each in a monthly theme I could only find a picture of the snowman, but you get the idea. These snowmen are made from Lynn Bywaters and are just adorable. They stopped making them in 2019. I prefer these textured type of snowmen versus the smooth china ones they do now. But that is why this are called collectables.

Thanks for taking a peek at my blog.

Lenox Holiday China Collection for 2020

January 3rd, 2021 klwade Posted in Lenox Christmas China No Comments »

I have a nice collection of Lenox Holiday China that I just love. Wish I used it more but I did host a nice Christmas dinner once using my beautiful china.

I tried to get a few pieces each year when they are on sale to add to the overall collection.

I also try to post on my blog so I have a visual reference on what I bought previous years.

This is what I got myself for Christmas 2020

Lenox Christmas Trivit
Lenox Holiday Cheeseboard
Lenox Holiday Carved Napkin Tray
Lenox Christmas Stackable Bowls

I usually buy the new pieces that are released each year.

Adding to the Lenox Holiday Collection

November 24th, 2017 klwade Posted in Babbling and Observations, Holidays, Home Decor, Lenox Christmas China No Comments »

Well it is that time again.

As I showed you last year, I collect the Lenox Holiday collection.   Such beautiful dinnerware for the holidays seasons.  It is sort of an extravagance considering I rarely use it.   However I collected it when I bought my house and pictured myself having lots of holiday parties.  Back then I had money to burn, now I am on a budget.  But this my Christmas gift to my self.  It is black friday so I got all 4 pieces for $100.  Not a bad deal.

This year I bought the 4 hostess gifts that were a great price.

The Lenox Holiday Lazy Susan Tray.

This will be great for appetizers or a cheese platter.

The second item I got was the bread tray.  Obviously to hold bread, either for the table at dinner or some pumpkin bread in the morning.

Up next is the divided dish.   Since I am not 100% sure of the dimensions.  It can either hold olive/pickles.   Or if larger, two side dishes.  Either way, it will look great on the table.

The last piece I got was the chip and dip set.  Some great dip in the middle with some chips.  Or humus and some pita bread.  You could go crazy and do mashed potatoes and gravy.   Nah, but it could be done.

Because I bought 4 items, I got these bowls for free.  I really anticipate them telling me they are sold out.

Posting these on my blog really helps me keep track of the items I have brought previously.

My Lenox Holiday China Obsession

November 27th, 2016 klwade Posted in Babbling and Observations, Home Decor, Lenox Christmas China No Comments »

For years and years I have been collection Lenox Holiday China.

Related image

I have the entire place settings for 12 people and a ton of matching accent pieces.

Fortunately for the last few years it has just been grabbing the new pieces and the great sale items.  No huge ticket items.   All bought and done with!  I swear I must have everything.

This year I have added these two beauties to my collection:

Lenox Holiday Covered Dish

The Lenox Holiday Covered Dish – 6-1/2 x 9-1/2

Lenox Holiday Round Platter

The Lenox Holiday Round Platter – 13″

I love how they tell me it is dishwasher safe, like I would EVER put my china in the dishwasher.

I really need to inventory my china.  But more importantly, I need to have a dinner party again.

Thanks for looking!
