Feeling Festive

Thanks for the comments yesterday about the letter to Santa. I thought you might like to know that on the way to the breakfast table yesterday morning, Parker mumbled under his breath, "I sure hope Santa saw the letter."   Deep down inside, I think we all would like to keep the magic going forever.

Here is a little project that I finished last week.  I wanted something festive for the dining room table during the holidays so I painted these containers with a coat of white and filled them with fresh cypress.  Talk about easy - does this really count as a "project"?

The needlepoint table runner is one that Mom made and I adore it.  I'm really loving the way it looks with the new chairs.  Normally our dining room isn't so fancy, but if there was ever a time to turn up the fancy dial, it would be around Christmas.

School has been canceled today because we received a dusting of snow.  That is how it is here in the South - like it or not.  Actually, I love snow days...
