Coca Cola Bottle Red Christmas Habitat



Serving up a little Christmas cheer...




with a pinch of the color red.




Actually I am serving up greenery and sugar snow.




My glass Coke bottle has a little fir tree of it's own hidden inside. Not so hidden, but safe. I am growing a little forest inside. Maybe it will grow right out of the bottle.




This bottle cap has just the right punch of color.

It was cold yesterday and then we had a wind storm. At midnight it was 62. This morning it was in the 30's again. (You notice these things when you have a dog.) Will we get snow for Christmas?

Breakfast Delicious Art - Food



Sometimes I need a little pick me up in the early morning . Keep those eyes open. This morning I got out the pewter plates. Nothing makes you more thankful for nice china dishes than pewter. I love the old-fashionedness and the slate grey of pewter. Like I am waking up in Colonial Williamsburg. But they are heavy! Can you imagine hand washing a stack of these every meal? Pass the jam please and the cookie cutters.




I was given some Trader Joe's preserves (thank you Rebecca) and they are so tart and delicious. Like a day in May. Philadelphia Cream Cheese on my first toast and then added the star toast with raspberry jam. So delicious. Fully charged. Ready to leave my French Castle. ;-)

Vintage Sepia Photo Look App






Thank you Blogger for making it easy to catch the latest posts on the blogs I read. Tonight when I got online Minna from Blomsterverkstad introduced me to Old Photo Pro app on her iphone. (We learn so much from other bloggers!) I fell in love with her photo and immeditately went to the app store on my iphone and downloaded none other than Old Photo Pro for free and it took about one minute and I was taking old-timey pictures! Mina is a garden stylist that shares her art with all.





I have always admired Z, from the old grey mare, blog's sepia photographs for her white Wednesday posts. (I learned what pop-up blogger means from her blog recently). Now my orange pumpkins are instantly white in this photograph. It's neat how the photo looks like it was folded and came out of someone's wallet. Yet it's not seen paper yet.





My education continues...pretty soon I might be above average!






Tonight my feet feel like they belong to someone else. Nothing that a little rest won't take care of.

Love Note Letters and Poem




The little details can speak the loudest.

"A little note of cheer
right from eye to heart
no one can hear it
but one can feel it
lighten our step
bring a smile
lift our head
messages are powerful "

Candylei

I made these tiny letter muslin letters and this little love-line, not to be confused with clothes line, travels about the house. No sewing needed.
