Went to a local artisan craft fair...when I went in it was barely spitting snow; when I came out a couple hours later it was a winter wonderland... perfect for pictures of all the Christmas decorations I've been setting up...This is my kitchen/mudroom door... with its urn of cut greens and the Christmas toad. Can't remember where I found him--maybe Target a few years back--but he's a christmas tradition now.
Rudolph and the vintage sled (not named Rosebud) next to the front door...
The cubeman and wee tree...plus Santa Gnome on the other side of the front door...
Remember that glorious maple tree I wrote about in the Spring/early summer? Here she is, all magickal and lacy in winter...
The yard looks so wonderful...very Currier and Ives...
I just couldn't put these two pumpkins out on the compost yet; they were still perfect...so I painted one red and the other green...voila! Christmas pumpkins...
Here is the front porch view...
Tomorrow we're going to a local tree farm to get our tree. I would love to go tonight...with the snow falling ..... but we have my hubby's company Christmas party to go to... oh well.
I'd rather be home setting up a tree and decorating it; having hot buttered rum, with Bing on the stereo and the snow falling outside. The first snowfall just brings out the romance of the season... everything is more wonderful and magickal right now.....I'm looking out my window at fairyland.
let it snow,let it snow, let it snow...
Your "Christmas pumpkins" are great! Very original!
