A Late Christmas Present...
Silently my most desired Christmas wish arrived,
a little late...
(click photos to enlarge)
In the wee hours of morning,
a light dusting of wet snow...
I, like a child on Christmas morning, couldn't sleep...
I had to silently explore
the twinkle and magic
that only snow can create...
A few scatterings of Christmas lights on the patio
enhanced the magic...
This is the King Edward Red Flowering Currant Bush
you can see it already is forming flower buds for spring..
It will bloom in February
and be a major source of food
for our winter hummingbirds
(if you missed that post and would like to see the
Anna's Hummingbird in the snow
The trees in the park across the street
flocked to perfection:-)
I hope everyone is enjoying their holidays?
I miss you all so much!
This is the one time of the year Mike is home for
a couple weeks of vacation time,
we have been having so much fun doing... NOTHING!
I am joining..
Faded Charm for White Wednesday
A Southern Daydreamer for Outdoor Wednesday
Thanks for spending time with me today,
My New White Stairs all Decked Out...
Are you ready to see my new foyer colors?
It has been a long time coming!
and truth is...
I still have a long way to go,
but, Christmas wasn't waiting so I am on break:-)
the new wall color is Pink Granite
by Martha Stewart...
the color is moody..
sometimes grey, sometimes pink..
the wall below and behind the stairs is the same color..
the woodwork is now Deep Cream
by Ralph Lauren...
the room is a shockingly different than last Christmas..
I wrapped the stairs in more Laurel garland
from the garden...
it is surprisingly fast to hand make garland,
and Laurel leaves are
easier on your hands than pine...
our little tree this year,
is a simple untrimmed pine...
a bell for Clarence is always a must...
a hand full of small vintage balls,
simple and sweet...
old fashioned strands of tinsel are also a must!
I am usually a glob it on girl,
but I restrained...
simple tissue paper wrapping,
with sprigs of last years Lavender,
and fresh Pine..
Pine and Lavender are my new
favorite fragrance pairing!
twinkle, twinkle...
Tonight I am joining...
and
Thanks For Visiting Me Today!
