Window Peeker...

Are you a window peeker?

 

I admit,

as I am driving along,

I love to peek into house windows...

 

and,

Christmas Time is the very best time...

 

 

the days are so short now...

 

I came home well after dark...

 

peeking into my own warm home,

I thought you might
 like a peek into my windows...

 



 

all the window glass

is the original old wavy glass,

 

it makes the photos

look a bit distorted

and so old fashioned looking...

 



 

through the front door,

into the little foyer...

 

you can see the neighbors colorful Christmas lights

reflecting on the glass...

 

 

my curious boy Cosmo...

 

 

I have been enjoying seeing everyone's snow!

 we had the slightest dusting yesterday...

 

the early birds...

 



 

we have been so cold,

 

listening to Billie Holiday

I can't remember a worse December
Just watch those icicles form!
What do I care if icicles form?
I've got my love to keep me warm.

 

the Koi Pond,

is nearly frozen all the way across...

 



 

the very last rose,

Blushing Lucy succumbed to the frigid weather...

 

I just planted her this summer,

on the lattice behind the fountain...

 

she is one tough lady,

look at those leaves,

after a week of icy weather!

 

I hope you are staying warm and cozy...

 

and

 if you have had enough snow,

send a little my way...

 

I am joining...

A Work in Progress....

I've fallen behind

in my Christmas decorating...

 

It's a work in progress...

 

a labor of love...

 

 

I enjoy each layer...

 

this is as far as I have gotten...

 

I want to add some pine sprigs,

and some snow...

 



this year I plan to keep the colors

in the parlor very quiet...

 



except for a pop of PINK....

 



I just made this wreath,

from vintage glass ornaments...

 

it took me all year to collect enough...

 

I will share a tutorial for it next week...

 



lights out....

 

except the Christmas Tree

which is up but naked...

 



 

sparkle...

 

 

and reflection...

 



 

I will be back soon with a room tour

 and tree reveal...

 

I even have a pink tree

in the bedroom,

I can't wait to share...

 

I'll be joining...

I Couldn't Wait Any Longer....

I have given into temptation...

 

and started to do my Christmas decorating...

 



mostly

I am just putting the trees up...

 

not really decorating them yet...

 

because,

I really do like the trees just bare...

 

and uncomplicated...

 

soon

I will adorn them...

 



these pink balls,

are part of a craft project,
I'll be making over the weekend...

 

but, for now
I couldn't help scattering them around...

 



 

it's nice to stop for tea,

and admire the twinkling lights...

 

I've had this rosy mug,

quite a while,

and just lucked out and found a matching plate...

 

they are happily reunited...

 



a rosy mug

calls for a rosy tea pot...

 



 

I made pomegranate scones the other day

for the first time...

 

they are delicious day old...

 

but,  when they are fresh

the little pomegranate seeds are so hot and juicy

and they just pop in your mouth...
Mmmm

 

Here is a link to the very easy recipe...

I am smitten...
