Hello everyone,
How was your weekend? We enjoyed ours and the weather is staying unseasonably warm but we are not complaining!
How was your weekend? We enjoyed ours and the weather is staying unseasonably warm but we are not complaining!
I have started decorating for Christmas and will share some photos soon.
For now it is just some pics from last year that some of you would not have seen and for those of you that have I hope you don't mind a second look.
Enjoy the rest of your evening. Tomorrow it is still going to be warm and sunny so I hope to finish decorating our little 'cottage' and have some pictures to share with you.
Take care,
Carolyn

Carolyn, everything is so beautiful. I don't know how you find the energy for all that decorating! It must take days to get everything just right. A labor of love, no doubt.
I hope this year is just as splendid.
It certainly is warm, isn't it? Very odd for November, but I'm not complaining either! There are still bulbs to be planted!
Good evening Carolyn
Your place is looking beautiful & very festive! Can't wait to see the finished Cottage. Take care.

Thanks for sharing pictures of Christmas past...can't wait to see your pictures.
xo, abby
These are just fantastic, Carolyn! Your photos make my heart go pitter patter, pitter patter. Midge says that I should not be surprised that we have so many similar decorations! Haha
I love that creamy urn with the greens and a touch of berries, so festive, indeed! And, the statuary brought in from the garden and assigned to new duty guarding the tree is one of the things I love to do, too!
It all looks just too BEAUTIFUL! Thank you for putting me in the Christmas spirit tonight! Lol I'll be baaaackkk....
Hugs,

Thank you for sharing such lovely photos of Christmas past! I so enjoy coming here for inspiration!
Best Wishes and Blessings,

I am one that did not get to enjoy your decorating last year. It is just simply magical. I love Christmas, too. Looking forward to see your beautiful home again.
Hugs, Deb=^..^=x4
Beautiful pictures full of Christmas cosiness! Love all the decorations! A real Christmas Home with Christmas in every little corner. Can't wait to see your pictures of this year's decoraton already ;-)
Oh and if you should get tired of the warm beautiful weather ;-) just send it over here please, it's been grey and dark and foggy and cold for more than two weeks here now and I've really had enough of it. I would even welcome rain now I think, more exciting than this dull weather. Oh my, guess this weather has really gotten to me... ;-)
Bye,
Marian
Beautiful photos! Christmas decorating is always so much fun. I could never get tired looking at such beautiful Christmas photos.
Hi Carolyn, It's starting to look a lot like Christmas at your place. I love visiting with you and enjoy seeing all your beautiful Christmas decorations. Jen.
Everything is so beautiful! Love the picures:)
Love everything you do. I'm so glad I'm not the only one starting the Christmas decorating early this year. Do you still have your Christmas blog?? I need to go and check. I love visiting your blog it always puts me in a calm & peaceful place - even the music. So wish I lived close to you I would love to attend your Christmas House Tour - it's even on my Birthday (12/10) :)

You did a beautiful job last year I can't wait to see it now. Great ideas and inspiration, everything is gorgeous! I'm starting to deck the halls, startin with the Christmas tree...I think maybe it's old age, but I'm exausted and I'm not liking ot to much! When it's all finished I'll probably enjoy it!! Happy week. FABBY
Oh Carolyn, that's so awesome you are starting to decorate. I'll begin right after Thanksgiving. I remember some of the lovely items you show in today's blog. Your house is enchanting at Christmas. Susan
It's always good to see your photos even if we've seen them before. They are always so beautiful! Have a good week and enjoy your warm weather.
Lovely pictures, Carolyn! Honestly, I think I would enjoy seeing Christmas pictures all year round. Loved the teal transferware in your previous post too.
I've been down with a bug for days and am itching to get at my decorating. Don't feel much like it though with the tummy feeling the way it does.
Enjoy the rest of your evening.
Blessings,
Sandi
Hello Carolyn
The weather has been rather nice for this time of year, hasn't it? The snow we had was gone in a day.
Looking at Christmas pictures is soothing, must be the happy family gatherings that we associate with them.
Looking forward to your creativeness this year.
Judith
I feel like a little kid again! Thank you!
So beautiful Carolyn. I can hardly wait to start decorating for the holidays, but some things have come up that will delay the process a little, but then it will be 'DECK THE HALLS' time for me!
sending hugs...

Kan ikke forstå, at det snart er december og dermed julemåned.
Hyggelige og stemningsfyldte billeder som altid :-)
we wait to see your Christmas decor!!
How beautiful! I love lighted houses and villages..vintage looking ones, and yours are so lovely and nostalgic.
Can't wait to see this years decorations.
Hvor ser det hyggelig ud.
Tak for kigget.
Carolyn your home always looks like a dream! I can imagine that dream turning into a Christmas fantasy! How I would love to visit during your open house! I am looking forward to your pictures!
May your day be very blessed,
Kathy
Love the table setting with the candles! Everything beautiful!
Tom wonders why I'm squeaking and giggling in here. heeeheheheheheeee!
Oh, I just love Christmas! I love this! I just love it!!! (Oh, I've said that already....but...I so do love it!)
I saw something very pretty in a recent, Christmassy issue of "Romantic Homes", this year. It was an Emilie Tolley kind of white, natural, herby decor and on each white plate on the Christmas table, there was a little gingerbread house with simple white frosting decoration. The brown of the gingerbread was very harmonious with the natural scheme. Plus, like in your post here, there's something very magical about miniature houses - miniature fairytale, lilliputian, warm, european like houses. I very much hope that I can set our little snow scene up, this year. We haven't, since we moved.
Thanks for the joy, joy, joy!!!
btw, you know, in the US, we aren't 'technically' supposed to start the Christmas season until a week from this Thursday - the US Thanksgiving. We're straining at the bit.;) However, Thanksgiving for most, here, is a beautiful holiday because it is, indeed, very simple compared to the whirlwind of fun that's just to come. Perhaps, it's the same for you, in Canada?
