In a Golden Light

Hello everyone,
    We finally had a sunny day today so I got busy with my camera and took some pictures. It has been so dull lately that it was hard to get good light in the house. 
 I love the golden glow in our bedroom when the sunlight is streaming in.

I did a little decorating for Christmas in our bedroom. Village houses on the mantel etc.
 The little lights around the bed add a warm cozy look at night.




I made the pillows for our bed.
our armoire








.
Well, I did enjoy a sunny day and a beautiful sunset this evening but I am still hoping for some snow soon, We are having our annual Christmas party for our family this weekend. The" little ones' (nine grandchildren) each get a gift which they open and then we all have pizza and dessert. It is a lively casual evening and always lots of  fun !
 I hope you all have a wonderful weekend and enjoy all the joy of the season!

Thank you for visiting,

Carolyn

A Fireside Tea

Good evening,
    I have been a bit absent lately as there is lots to do right now but I am sure you will forgive me because you have probably been too busy to notice! I hope you are all enjoying all the hustle and bustle???
 Anyway, I hope you will enjoy slowing down for a bit and joining me for a fireside tea.

  It is lovely to enjoy a cup of tea by the fireside on a long winter's night.

 I have some Christmas goodies for us too.
I have the mantel decorated mainly with fresh greenery and winterberries.


So romantic!



Well, I hope you don't have to rush off because I am enjoying your company and there is lots more tea!

I am joining Susan at Between Naps on the Porch for Tablescape Thursday again- there is lots to enjoy there!

Thank you for joining me for tea!
