Restful Sunday



                                                                   Hello everyone!

                             I hope you are enjoying your weekend.It is a rather cold and dreary day here today -somewhat typical for November. This past week I made the Christmas cross above for the old door in the fence at the road. I saw this on pinterest somewhere and knew I had to make one. I like how it looks and it is a nice change from a wreath.
                                  I was going through my 'best of Christmas' file from last year and picked out a few photos to share from last year.

                               I made these last year with epsom salts a candle,some lace and a spray of artificial snow.I will do them again this year.





                                                          The cottage at Christmas.





I hope you enjoy a restful Sunday.

  6. Love your winter whites Carolyn. Our youngest daughter is redoing her kitchen and has chosen vanilla coloured cabinets. She's a little leery of changing from wood tones but I've told her about all the bloggers doing this very thing. I'll have to show her your blog for inspiration.

  10. Four more days and I can stop being subversive about Christmas.... here in the States, it's horribly jumping the gun to do anything obviously Christmas until after Thanksgiving. And, I'm both relieved and terrified that it's here... there's so much to do and I don't want it to go too fast... Slow down, Christmas, slow down! I love you so - I want you to stay!!! =D (But, I totally don't mind seeing you at Carolyn's house! heehee! =D)

  11. Dear Carolyn, thank you for your kind email! It is much appreciated.

    Your decorations look beautiful! I find it difficult to wait until Sinterklaas has left our country :-)!

    Wishing you a peaceful Sunday as well.

  19. I just adore the idea of a pine bough cross, Carolyn. A sweet, gentle reminder of what the season is all about. ♥

  20. I love the bathroom sink with all the vintage linens! Surely, you become more beautiful just by looking in that mirror!

  21. Carolyn I love all your Christmas whites. The linen with the lace, the candles in epsom salts, but when I see the ice skates in your cottage I get so many good memories of long cold days on the ice. I hope we get enough frost to skate outside, much better than on the rink.
