Pink Saturday

Beverly, our Pink Saturday hostess at How Sweet the Sound, has suggested that we share a favorite holiday decoration today. I really can't pick just one thing so will share some of my favorites around the house which are quite simple vignettes I've gathered together and placed hither and thither. I read somewhere, just recently, that the Christmas spirit should be everywhere in your home, even if just one tiny thing in each room - that's what I'm trying to accomplish.

Meanwhile, outdoors, a favorite for the past several years, is my Victorian gazebo with a Christmas tree decorated with Nature inspired objects such as pine cones and wooden ornaments. There are two large paper stars and strings of clear fairy lights. In the dark of night, the entire gazebo glitters and gives the now somewhat dreary garden a new lease on life for Christmas.

Wishing you each a wonderful weekend. Everyone is very busy now as Christmas draws near. Remember to take time out from your decorating and holiday preparations............stop for a warming cuppa, take a breather in the cool air, sit by a glowing hearth and listen to carols and seasonal music.............or, like me, start packing a suitcase and take a holiday trip!

No, not off across the pond again, but will be somewhere very 'Christmassy' for few days........if the weather doesn't let us down like last year!!!!
