Countdown to Christmas

"Happy, happy Christmas, that can win us
back to the delusions of our childish days;
that can recall to the old man the pleasures
of his youth; that can transport the sailor and
the traveller, thousands of miles away, back
to his own fire-side and his quiet home!"
                    ~Charles Dickens

   December is here and the countdown to Christmas is on! My lovely friend Erica at Meadowstreet sent a pretty advent calendar with a recent Christmas order and I have sat it in my room where I can count off the days. When I was a little girl those days couldn't pass quickly enough - but now I enjoy every single one and with so many things to do, gifts to buy, and get-togethers to prepare for I need every hour of every day to get ready! I have already said I love pastels at Christmas but that doesn't mean that I don't love the reds and golds as well! My sister loves colour at Christmas and so her things are very bright and cheery. I took a few random snapshots of some of her wrapping frippery and a couple more pictures of my home as well which I hope you will like. I just finished this Christmas Tree drawing for a wonderful customer and friend, Linda, and I thought I would share that as well. I hope everyone is enjoying the season! 

 

Also there are some new pretties in the Etsy shop so be sure to have a look!
