I have been working long hours on a project (a good thing).
I have not been home very much (a bad thing).With less than a week until Christmas, last night in the wee hours was the first
chance I had to start putting out some Christmas things.
I think this golden bird has been patiently waiting...
And, it wouldn't be Christmas without the Dove...
And roses from the garden...
A few run-away silver ornaments will add a bit of sparkle...
The blush from the candle casts gentle shadows of a lovely bird...
And, the candle's brilliance turns silver to gold...The magic of Christmas!
Crystal sugar and creamers prove ideal vessels for small rosemary trees...
And roses...
The candle's radiance celebrates the reflection of a silver tray beneath the
floating candles and adds just the right amount of sparkle and glow...
Floating roses on silver...
It is beginning to come together...
It will change several times in the next couple of days...
MERRY CHRISTMAS

Oh this is beyond beautiful, peaceful, lovely serene. All the good feelings you and your lovely blog bring to me. xoxo Kathysue
It's lovely! So peaceful and pretty.
just stopping in to wish you a very merry christmas!
All so beautiful and romantic...love it!
Your decorating is so pretty~ I just love the lighting and beaded garland and ornaments...just lovely!
....and Merry Christmas to you too!
I think that roses at Christmas are the most beautiful ornaments - so rich, so luxurious, so precious.
I hope you have a peaceful holiday.
Wow when you decide to buckle down and decorate you really do it well, beautiful job! (Dylan actually loved his balloon!)
Ah, roses and rosemary,
two of my favorites!!
Yowzer, girlie, YOU have
the touch ~ this looks
amazing! And, you are a
"bird girl," like I am : )
I was lucky enough to
receive two new ones
this year, to add to my
ever-growing "flock!"
I would love to use only
fresh greens, someday,
when I live somewhere
milder. The flip side
to that is all the lovely
snow we've had this year,
which adds a very special
Christmas touch. Hope
your project wraps up long
enough for you to ENJOY
these next two weeks, Susan.
Merry Tuesday....and
beyond!

Your home is gorgeous! Hope you had the most lovely holiday! XX!
What a really lovely home! Have a wonderful Christmas, Kellie xx
Well you have the gift, as it certainly does not take you long to make the magic happen...I love the elegant simplicity of each tableau...the use of your gorgeous garden roses with the little evergreen trees amidst the soulfulness of other every day treasures...proving that the magic comes not from the material elements from weeks of buying and assembling, but rather it springs from within. Truly beautiful and magical. May you continue to enjoy all the wonder of the season.

Hope you had a FABuLOUS Christmas!
I love this vignette. The golden caramel color of the bird makes her perfect for basking in candle glow... makes me warm just looking :-)
Happy Holidays!
Happy new year new friend!
be blessed and prosper
hugs
Your Christmas decorations look very beautiful and festive! It is such a blessing that you have roses even in winter!
I hope you had a wonderful Christmas. May the new year be full of good health and happiness!
How amazing to be able to bring roses in from your garden for Christmastime. I get so used to the weather here - and the bare garden at this time of year - that it's hard to imagine how you're having different weather over there! I love the colours of those roses. Beautiful.
I hope you had a marvellous Christmas and that you have a
Happy New Year!
