Thursday

Merry Christmas !




From our Home (and Kitchen) to Yours. :) ~











What do we love about Christmas;
Does our delight reside in "things" ?





Or are the feelings in our hearts
The real gift that Christmas brings.








It's seeing those we love,
And sending Christmas cards, too,








Appreciating people who bring us joy
Special people just like you .




Best wishes for a very happy holiday, friends !

    Thank you so much everybody! I hope your Christmas day was wonderful in every way.

    Steph, and any one else who may be interested, the little tree and ornaments came as a set (a gift) a couple of years ago.
    I don't know the maker, but it was purchased from http://gooseberrypatch.com/.

    Best of luck to your son!

    Thank you again, friends, for your sweet words. :) xo

    Merry Christmas Mari :) That little tree is super cute! I have a little feather tree in my kitchen, and I think next year I'll put ornaments like those on instead.
