It's the week-end before Christmas
and I am feeling good

yes
there is wrapping to be done


and a couple of last minute
things to bake


the candy dishes will be filled


but there will also be time to...

enjoy the tree

and ornaments abound


maybe go for a walk in the winter's snow

both Friday and Saturday night
we will be partaking in some
Christmas cheer

Friday night is a casual affair
with family and friends

lots of eggnog

maybe a cupcake or two

~*~*~*

Then on Saturday night
we can put on our dancing shoes

and our holiday best
and partake in maybe one of these...

and a little dinner too.

so get out and enjoy the lights

share in the love

the beauty of it all

and if you are lucky

you will find your favorite someone
under the mistletoe

I know that we are all crazy busy this time of the year
so I thank each and every one of you
that took the time to leave a note
or little comment.
I know I have read lots this week
but commented not as much as I would have liked
so thank you.

I hope your week-end is filled
with love and that you
make new memories
of this Christmas season.

Round & Round

Tonight I will get a delivery

a couple of round items

will be left on my doorstep

I like to support this group

and get my wreaths from them every year

they are you average 

everyday

evergreen wreaths

with a big red bow

and some berries added in for color...

here

these are similar to the ones

I hang outside

they are traditional

and I am all about traditions.

My eye has been drawn

towards many different wreaths this year

this one is from Canadian Living

and there has been

 a huge array of this type

around the net this year

here

 

this one is different

very pretty ~ metallic

I love it...

a little touch of whimsy

here

can you say red

my favorite colour

and the fire just makes this one

so inviting...

 

here

I love this one

all natural

 

very simplistic

and another fire

all you need is a glass of wine

and a good book

 

I have always liked these little 

jingle wreaths

and this one from here

is just cute... 

 

here

this one is for Lissa 

once I saw the starfish ~ I knew she would love it

another one from here

loving this with all the silver urns 

another ornament wreath

and a girly Christmas display for sure

vintage display

and this one is for Maggie...

It has been a busy week

and I have not had a lot of time to sit down

and read and comment

but...

I will catch up over the week-end.

Thank you for all the lovely comments you left this week.

It means the world that you have taken time out of your day

and read my words and look at my pictures.

I hope you have a wonderful week-end!

Christmas Bling

Dig out your silver shoes
it is time for a little
Christmas Bling

I am a traditional red & green girl
when it comes to decorating
but I love me some bling

and nothing says bling
better than silver

it is glittery
shimmering
the color of tinsel

hanging from the tree

on a wreath
hanging on the door


it goes great with almost any color
whether it be

pink

or blue...

it looks lovely on the table

or wherever you choose

loving this little tree

this is very simple
but makes a huge statement

one of my favorite ways to display
my vintage ornaments

loving them in this silver bowl too...

you can never go wrong with candles

and look
a cocktail for two

since there is also one to share
what time should I expect you?

and don't forget the star



and I could not do a post about bling
and not include...

diamonds
are they not a girl's best friend?

Have a wonderful week!
