What a busy busy busy week I had!!
One morning we had a wee snowfall, and the bright sunshine made everything glow!
I made a trip the "The Flower Store" that day, and picked up a few things...I then had a big mug of Apple Cinnamon Tea and berries and yogurt...I had also done a large grocery shop...
So the Tea was very soothing!!
I needed to make a small table arrangement for my dinner guests on Saturday night...
It was so nice and sunny... that ...Lunch was enjoyed taking in the beautiful sunshine...
I always like to get my table set at least the day before...
I opted for a black tablecloth...and it really made the few ornaments POP...As you can see...
Love the rainbow on the napkin!!
I used a vintage green bowl for my White Carnations...
My daughter taught me the ways of using an oasis...and I love this method...
I simply added a few stray pieces to make it more Festive!!
Simple....yet elegant!! I will make another for our family Christmas table...but this fit the bill quite nicely...I am having my brother and his wife over next Friday for dinner, so I am hoping that this wee arrangement is still fresh and perky!!
Friday's afternoon Sun made everything sparkle....✨✨✨
After that was done...I took a breather!!!
We were out Friday night to friends for dinner, so I wanted to get as much done on Friday as I could!!
The tree is coming along nicely...
I am enjoying not having to water it!!
I even had time to start on a few Christmas cards...
Snacks for my guests were ready...
While my boyfriend puts on a few Christmas tunes...
Had a great meal...
Lots of laughs...
And...
The dessert...
Was...
Out...
Of...
This...
World...
Managed a rather blurry pic...but...I think you get the idea...😳
Today we are getting our first real snowfall...
Kinda pretty out there, but...I don't have to go anywhere!!!
My crochet is calling me, and once I get all showered, I have a date with the couch!!!
This cute White Throated Sparrow visited me this am...took his pic thru the window...
See his yellow stripe??
Think I will top up the feeders...
My view from the kitchen....
I just love my
Miscanthus grasses... all year round!!
When my Son got married in October, I brought home one of his table arrangements from the wedding...I rooted 2 succulents that were in it...they did really well, getting nice long roots...I have recently planted them in a vintage container...with stones from the cottage beach...and I added a small (phony) Steer Skull, that had belonged to my Mom...I have saved it for many years. I think it is just perfect, and I know my Son will love the presentation. I am gifting it to him ♥️
So...that is up to date with me!!
Hope you are all well...and enjoying the season...
The snow is getting a bit heavier right now...looks like an all day affair...
I will hopefully get a few nice snowy pics...the only good thing about SNOW is the pictures! hahaha!!
Have a great day and enjoy your week ahead...
Be back soon.....
Cheers! :o)
