4 a.m. winter is beginning to really claim us now. a neighbor's garage light is on. and a sprinkle of snow is tumbling and twisting in the circle of brightness it makes. yesterday we bundled into the truck to bring home a christmas tree. and now it's standing in front of the living room window, creating the air of christmas for us. 60 years of love is balanced on it's branches. delicate inherited glass balls mingled with handmade paper decorations. the fireplace burns often now. and evenings seldom pass without my making a cup of tea. i will get snuggled into the holidays over the next weeks and settle in for the next few months of winter.
i listed stockings and literary lap quilts on etsy last night, filling my online shop with bits of what makes the little white house so special. and we're having another open house this coming sunday, december 16th from 10 - 5. we are welcoming you into the the little white house to browse the quilts and vintage books and sterling jewelry, the art and gifts and dreamy little treasures. so stop by 55 mowat ave in portsmouth village and maybe you'll find a special cherished gift.

It is so special every year to open the ornaments--they bring back such memories.
ReplyDeleteLove the stocking! Going to check out the literary lap quilts now.
I fell in love with the Miss Havishams and had to buy one--it was calling my name. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteoh jen, i'm so thrilled you're going to have a quilt. and she is such a beauty. actually a favorite. it's been a long and busy and tiring day. and sending a quilt off to you added joy to it.
Deletethank you!!!
Tis the season for sure! It has turned very cold here. I've made up some fresh pine branch centerpieces to place around the house and can smell the scent of pine throughout. :)
ReplyDeletei have been hearing about snow in dallas? was that correct?
Deleteand the piney smell of christmas is really so wonderful. my mother always has boughs all over the house.....i can't find the time to decorate. all my house time goes to cleaning :(
Your writing about snow fall and the Xmas tree is so beautiful and I can picture them. Your warm coloured stuffs must fit the season.
ReplyDeleteHave a nice week ahead, and stay warm.
