i can't believe it's the 13th already...


we've had lots going on around here...
a semi-formal for Elsie.
(it was a masquerade party)
i just love that.

a cookie exchange hosted by this mama...


this week we've had freezing rain
(first "snow day" of the season)
and then a huge dumping of snow.


they were the kind of fluffy flakes that makes
it look like a snow globe...

allie cat has nicely recovered from a health scare...
everything is fine now.
whew!


this is for all my friends out there
who are wishing for this in their lives....
enjoy!


my nose found this candle a few years ago
in our towns christmas store.
i could smell christmas...
christmas on the farm...
this is the exact smell i remember.
"gold, frankincense and myrrh"
(colonial candles)



the real tree is up.
it is red and white,
kind of an old fashioned theme...
vintage elves, embroidered hearts, snowflakes,
birdhouses...stars.
and my giant granny squared blanket as a skirt.
it's a quaint little tree.
our "family" tree is also looking nice...
so yep...3 trees in total.
:)



in the hall i wanted to tie things together...
i see a glittery bird...a vintage tinsel tree...
pinecones and lace.
ta da!



brought lots of evergreen cuttings in
and laid them out here and there...


...added a few glittered pinecones to a wreath.
this house is officially "decked".


welcome winter...

...oh and i just had to share tonight's sunset...
it was a doozy.

Thanks for the gorgeous pics! Muskoka is magical in the winter - I miss it so much - that quiet, peacefulness after a snowfall. Enjoy it xo
