Take a break!


Hello everyone,
     I thought with all the hustle and bustle you might want to stop and relax for a bit in our little sunroom which was bright and cheery today with the sun shining. 

You might already know that I love this wooden angel.

I made a treat for you -it is delicious and so easy to make. Actually it is even good for you. It is peppermint chocolate Vitasoy organic  beverage. It is delicious hot or cold and a little whipped cream and cinnamon makes it all the better for a little afternoon treat.
I made some sugar cookies for you too!
You are surrounded by nature.
even reindeer.

A santa wreath

Some fresh pine and rosehips



I know ,I know enough already!

I love this iron sheep too.



A collage for you.



Above is a photo from my Christmas Past & Present blog if you would like to visit just click here.

I hope you enjoyed a little break- I know I did!

Thank you for visiting and for all your kind words.

Take care,

Carolyn

    What a lovely break! I so enjoyed all the comforting ambience of your beautiful sunroom! Your photos often remind me of Victoria magazine (which is high praise in my book). Bess

    Hi Carolyn
    I like the natural elements of your post today; gave me a break to enjoy those things again.
    I was looking out your window too and saw green grass - we've got about a foot of snow already!
    The wooden angel is lovely and I can see why you like it.

    Carolyn,
    Your sunroom is delightful! Love all the white.
    And your Christmas Past and Present blog is such a treat! I think about it regularly. I wish I had it in a book format. I'd page through it leisurely every day!
    Off to your other blog...

    Carolyn, this is just what I needed. To come and spend some time with my friend in her beautiful home, on her beautiful porch, and eat all of her yummy goodies.
    Just a perfectly beautiful time.
