Just this morning, on our quick grocery
run, I found this lovely white
Christmas cactus...
Now we are three....
A little Mini Garden...;)))
I am so excited to have plant windows
in our newly set-up, side tv room...
The peach one has begun to bloom
prompting me to believe it
likes its new home;)))
It is actually a darker peach than this--
the bright Northern light has
washed out
the pix....
*******************************
Here is what my red, green and white
scrap bags have yielded:
A few Christmas Ojos with either white or
[just a few] gold centers...
they need to be paper stripped and
then sewn together.
I was hoping to find more of that
gold--but only
"just" had enough to make
four little blocks..
so I took one of the
blocks with white centers
and put it in the center..
my countertop table runner to match last
year's red dotty placemats...
side, but it is redder than this
;(((((
I hope to add to the white centered
ones if i can dig out more red and green
hiding in other unsorted scrap bags...
***********************************
Here is a little nighttime shot of our little tree
in our side tv room...
It just looks so magical to me...
After Christmas, this table
will become another mini garden with
African Violets and perhaps
a nice begonia...
**********************
Here is a long shot of our
living room during our 4 o'clock
cocktail hour last evening...
Our Christmas wreath is now up
by my piano....
Our living room tree is below
either side of this picture window which looks
out upon our back woods, have a cocktail and
watch for deer meandering through....
And here is a little vignette on one
of my kitchen corner shelves
The two Willow Tree statuettes
which were gifts from friends
when Tom retired 20 years ago now!!
AND.....
Where has the time flown????
***********************************
And so I leave you with this little
picture of our house at
Christmas.
Very minimally decorated,
but truly enjoyed...
