Winter Solstice

Last night in the UK we had the most beautiful full moon and also meteor showers at  intervals... magical.




 Isn't this lovely? it's a local pots/pans shop and the baubles are collanders tied together with ribbon to make baubles.



sorry about the reflection!


 My son made a sponge cake yesterday, there was only one slice left this morning 
- someone had the midnight munchies!



I have been decorating the house for Christmas.  My neighbours have moved out and gave me their dining furniture, including this pretty dresser. 




We painted the room this light grey blue and bought curtains, which arrived today. The picture on the packaging was right but inside was the wrong pattern.  A new order will be  arriving after Christmas  so I decorated the track with tinsel and baubles as I didn't like looking at an empty track!


Hubby put the fairy lights up outside the back of the house, it's really pretty in the evening sitting out there with all the multicoloured lights reflecting on the glass roof.

I painted this watercolour quite a few years ago for the house.  Next year I will be
getting back into silk painting, which I have missed. 



Wishing you a very happy christmas and new year.

    What a disappointment to have the wrong curtains sent. You will enjoy them even more when they come!
