A LITTLE START ON CHRISTMAS IN MY HOME!!

This year it looks like my decorations will be mostly kept in white,-

and yesterday,-The first Sunday in Advent - we lit the Advents Wreath for the 

first time this year! It is a big tradition in Denmark to celebrate advent!

This little display is on my dining table ...the  christmas tree I bought on my trip to 

Copenhagen, it is very simple, but beautiful I think!!! I added a 

tiny white fur to the deer ,and the house looks cosy with the tealight lit!!

Some of you may remember, that I promised to show you my little

but wonderful collection of christmas cones purchased  from  KIMBERLY  http://artjoystuff.blogspot.dk/

So here you have them - they are all richly decorated with old,

and new items, and I love them!!

I love the deer and all the bling here.

This beauty ,so wonderful made from an old spool still with yarn , is so 

beautiful, with the tiny house on top!

Isen`t it adorable with old lace and the flower !!

Another beautiful deer and old wonderful glass 

decoration.

See the snowflake behind the deer!!

This one I purchased this year!!

Also a very gorgeous piece, with the angel and her tree on top,

the rose and big tassel 

I so love Kimberly`s beautiful creations, and have purchased 

many lovely pieces the past years !!

Many of you know dear Kimberly, but if not click the link above and visit her blog and her shop,

---so many wonderful things to look at ,there.

A BEAUTIFUL SWEET GIFT FROM A LOVELY FRIEND ! landed after being on its way for many weeks !!

Some weeks ago, my lovely friend   LYNNE  wrote to tell me,

she had send a Halloween greeting to me, and if I recieved it!

And I sadly had to tell her it did not arrive. We both thought that was that,

and I almost forgot about it, untill today 4 weeks after she send it ,where

it suddenly was in my mailbox !!

I`m so happy it arrived ,look what I would have been missing, if not!

This gorgeous card with the beautiful witch ,jumping over her broom,on

a wonderful background with webs,stars and a sparkling moon!

Dear Lynne, also send me black laces of different art, and some of

the sweetest black lace flowers- -for me to use making a witch, or

for every other purpose.

I`m sorry you can`t see the sparkling black broom and also on her dress, but the weather

here today is so grey and dark , so you have to imagine that!

Thank you so very much my dearest Lynne, I`m so happy it found it`s way

to me at last,

JUST A SHORT HELLO, TO SAY I`M STILL HERE.

Even trying to create in between , and also feeling

almost ok, even not knowing if I`m totally well !!!

and a little lace and fur , and using one of my 

favorite images from Digital Antiques Etsy shop.

I punched the border of the paper with a Martha Stuart punch!
