Seattle Lights...

Over the weekend

I took a drive into Seattle,

it's only about an hour away...

I love the feel of a big city late at night

the lights and energy are magical...

The Christmas Decorations were all up

and the streets are lined with lit trees...

This giant stack of lit snowballs

is at the foot of the Space Needle...

It must have been twenty feet tall

at the base to the right you can see a car...

Here is a close up...

and since we are under the Space Needle

I thought I would show you the "Needle"

hovering over head.....

It was well named!

Kinda creepy...

The Macy's Star....

Fifth avenue is lined with luxury and designer stores...

Betsey Johnson

had a pretty silver tree with hot pink packages,

I thought it was worth a peek....

I haven't blogged in days!

I hope everyone had a wonderful vacation?

I know we had a wonderful time!

I spent my black Friday at an antique mall

and then hunted down a long sought after item

 on Craig's list.

So I am working on a new project

and can't wait to finish it and share with you :-))

Today I am joining,

Susan for Outdoor Wednesday

Thanks for stopping by today!

Last Rose of Summer...

Last week we had our first snow..

If you missed it

and would like to see my winter wonderland

while staying warm at home,

no boots required!

The links are here and here...

Even after the first snow melted

these Ballerina Roses hadn't faded....

So I had to rescue them

before round two and the deep freeze came...

A perfect spot of happy pink in the window...

To cheer even the coldest day!

The Last Rose of Summer

TIS the last rose of summer

Left blooming alone;

All her lovely companions

Are faded and gone,

No flower of her kindred,

No rosebud is nigh,

To reflect back her blushes,

To give sigh for sigh.

Thomas Moore

But,  as every gardener believes in their heart,

Next year will be even better!!

Come get your Pink on

and visit PINK SATURDAY...

and check of Hakan's lovely new party

SHOW OFF SATURDAY!

Thanks for stopping by...

Just for fun...

I think sometimes a tablescape

can have no real purpose...

It can be

 just for fun...

An excuse to play....

instead of doing the tasks that you should be doing :-)

Just a silly moment

to seen how pretty cranberries are

floating in a glass..

to enjoy

a bit of twinkle...

My plates are everyday wear

the snow I found in the garden

and the cranberries are grow in Washington...

:-)

The silliness is all in my heart..

I am sending everyone

a big hug...

and wishes for a

Wonderful Thanksgiving!

Tonight I am joining

Susan for Tablescape Thursday

Thanks for visiting me today!
