...a tiny bit of color in my white cottage...

...I've been playing with a wonderful real bird's nest...

..it was found on vacation many years ago...

...the best souvenir of all time...

...and old book pages...

...adore those beautiful creamy tones...

...I call myself a 'shameless stacker'...

...isn't a photograph better when the items have been stacked ever so high?...

...this one I named ...

...'holding pattern'...

...and this one...

...'waiting'...

[...no real eggs were harmed in the photographing of this image...]

[...nor real snow!...]

...perhaps I've just been waiting to set out my Christmas decor...

...this year a new tree has been added...

...along with a little sprinkle of vintage blue...

...my favorite shop called Bloom...

...had these wonderful vintage Christmas balls...

...normally I decorate with silver, bronze, white, etc...

...but these pretty little baubles just kept calling my name...

...some are light, some are darker...

...but all have that wonderful vintage look...

...not sure what the perfect name is for this glorious color...

...maybe 'classic heavenly blue'...

...the gorgeous tree topper made of vintage book pages...

...was also purchased at my favorite store Bloom...

...carefully handmade by my friend Karen...

...presenting...

...our new tree...

...with a touch of blue...

...I'm in love...

...sigh...
