Early Christmas Gift



                                                                                         Welcome!
                  A couple of days ago a trip to the mailbox caused some great excitement for me as I received the beautiful new Christmas book Sanselig Jul from Norway.


                               So I poured  myself a cup of tea in my new thrifty Christmas teacup and sat down to enjoy all the beautiful photos. I have always loved Christmas so this book is a real treasure.
          Partly because some of my photos are in this beautiful book. I was thrilled to be included in another of Franciska's books.
                                                           More of my photos.
  Also,happy that my friend Linda from Newfoundland was also featured. Linda has a beautiful blog-aptly named Beautiful Ideas.
      Sandy from My Shabby Steamside Studio also has her charming little cottage featured .Of course,there are many other blogs from Norway etc. featured -I do love the Nordic Style of decorating.
                                            Before we know it the  Christmas season will be here.

Now doesn't this make you start dreaming of a White Christmas???

Thank you so much Franciska for including me and sending me a  copy of this beautiful book full of  charming photos.If you would like a copy of this book visit Franciska's blog to order your own special copy.If you live in the Netherlands you can also buy this book here from It's Me.

Thank you for visiting and hope you have a great day!

Carolyn

  13. Congratulations, Carolyn! Your home and garden (and your photography) are definitely publication-worthy. Gorgeous photos! I am not a fan of cold weather, however, there is a tranquil beauty in the snow.

  14. Hi Carolyn,
    Well, what a treat! How wonderful of sweet Franciska to feature our photos!!! It is, indeed, an honour and I am so appreciative as I know you must be, too. I cannot wait to get mine in my mailbox! It makes me tingly with excitement just thinking about it. :-) I've made several trips to the post in the last couple of days ever since you emailed me to let me know the good news. Lol Your winter photos are so truly lovely, as your photos are in every season. I am so looking forward to an evening with this book. It looks awesome! I have been away from my blog busy with FUNRaising these past months, as you know. I will resume blogging very soon - and what better way to begin again than with Franciska's inspiring "Sanselig jul". Dreaming tonight...
    Love and hugs to you all and our beautiful friend Franciska in Norway,
    Linda at Beautiful Ideas

  21. Fico feliz por você em participar de mais uma publicação. Vocé é merecedora. Vocé tem o dom de cativar as pessoas com sua bondade e carinho e sabe expressar isso em suas fotos e em suas decorações. É extremamente gratificante compartilhar disso. Visitei o blog de Linda e me emocionei com a forma que ela descreveu o passeio em sua casa, foi realmente tudo o que senti quando tive o prazer de estar aí. No Brasil estamos na primavera e o tempo realmente está fican quente, a temperaturajá tem chegado aos 30 graus.

    Fique em paz.
