As the quiet week approaches, may you find time to do all the things you most love. May you know, each day, how very blessed and loved you are. Happy Holidays, friend. ~ RelynRelyn Lawsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01389583730002062714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8968803817110676732.post-53348901475913584132011-12-21T17:42:26.697-05:002011-12-21T17:42:26.697-05:00Even the new things I bought when I was first marr...Even the new things I bought when I was first married are now vintage:) I love them all:) Love this peek at your decorated home...it looks so lovely and warm.<br /><br />I have never read anything by Mary Sarton butI am now intrigued!

This post is so inspiring, I am now going to put the ornaments that I am not using in bowls around my house and I also love the idea of filling a glass container with sugar and nestling a candle inside.

How exciting to receive an Eiffel Tower from France, reminds me of an Audrey Hepburn film I just saw this week (at a festival of Hepburn's films in the 60's) called 'When Paris Sizzles' where a burnt out screenwriter tries to write a script in 2 days called 'The Girl who Stole the Eiffel Tower'.<br /><br />Joyeux Noël!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8968803817110676732.post-13029409176179257802011-12-17T22:36:18.484-05:002011-12-17T22:36:18.484-05:00I would love the Eiffel Tower, but oh to have May ...I would love the Eiffel Tower, but oh to have May Sarton's ornaments - WOW!

Some of ours yhave taken on a crackled look and are my favourites.<br />.....and how lovely to have won one of Vicki's Christmas giveaways....and what an appropriate one!!<br />Your candle idea is a great one .....and, so much cheaper than those extortionately priced ones in the shops ( and far nicer !!)<br />Enjoy the build up to Christmas as I know you will....sending love and seasons greetings from the UK.
