In a Golden Light

Hello everyone,

    We finally had a sunny day today so I got busy with my camera and took some pictures. It has been so dull lately that it was hard to get good light in the house. 

 I love the golden glow in our bedroom when the sunlight is streaming in.

I did a little decorating for Christmas in our bedroom. Village houses on the mantel etc.

 The little lights around the bed add a warm cozy look at night.

I made the pillows for our bed.

our armoire

.
Well, I did enjoy a sunny day and a beautiful sunset this evening but I am still hoping for some snow soon, We are having our annual Christmas party for our family this weekend. The" little ones' (nine grandchildren) each get a gift which they open and then we all have pizza and dessert. It is a lively casual evening and always lots of  fun !
 I hope you all have a wonderful weekend and enjoy all the joy of the season!

Thank you for visiting,

Carolyn
