Christmas Whispers


Around the brand new Twig homestead,
a few soft little whispers of  
Christmas
are starting to make themselves known...



Nothing grand, or dramatic




Just little peeks




of the blessed season to come.




Back to packing boxes, have a beautiful Wednesday!




Linking with Kathleen at Faded Charm

  11. Hello Anne... love seeing how you are starting to get ready for the holidays.... your photos are so pretty, I just love to sit here at my computer and look closely at them... each time I look, I see something new in each one... then my imagination starts to run wild, like wondering who the little boy with the drum is, and where is that precious little rocking horse now... thanks for sharing a little "peek" at what's to come... xoxo Julie Marie

  15. Hey Lovely Lady,

    Love the star, did you make that, or find it that way? Wouldn't it be cool to have just the faintest touches of yellow, pink and orange throughout for Christmas? Whaddaya think?

  25. Thanks for the sweet little peeks. It takes me a while to transition from fall to Christmas--taking care not to totally ignore Thanksgiving. Right about now I get that little tingle.........but I must refrain myself otherwise hubby gets tired of it all waaaay too soon.

  52. When I saw your post title, the song "Careless Whispers" (old George Michaels) kept playing in my head. That happens to me all the time--a reminder of a song gets my mind stuck. But there's nothing "careless" about these! They are beautiful and sweet!
    I'm still packing and unpacking too.

  58. I didn't even think about you decorating your NEW home for Christmas! How fun! I aget in a rut & do everything the same way every year & now if I changed a thing I think the whole family would freak out...me included. But you with your clean slate!!! FUN! Love the little peeks!

  59. Hi Anne,

  60. So beautiful Anne! What lovely touches. I know you will love decorating your new home this year for the holidays.

    I was patting myself on the back for getting the outside lights hung on the gazebos before the snow flies. But I have been looking at getting the boxes out of the loft in Dale's saddleshop of the Christmas, and I keep thinking 'tomorrow'.
    hugs from the lazy one...
