Happy Christmas Eve everyone!

A joyful Christmas to you all. Wishing you and your family happy holidays!

city canvas

In between the christmas celebrations we made a city walk in Breda yesterday afternoon.
We had to go out with an umbrella on Christmas Day, but this time with sunglasses.

En route to a hot drink on the atmospheric city square, we came across heaps of colorful street art.

Colorful city canvas, I'm a fan! The murals by Ilse Weisfelt on the first photos are my favorite.

I hope you all had a Merry Christmas, whatever you have done...

And today we continue celebrating Christmas with a home dinner and sleepovers with family.

Merry Christmas to all of you!
We are having a drink in the front yard. Cheers!

about white trees and an angel

White wooden x-mas trees have always been the most popular.
During the last weeks I received a few requests about white trees.
This morning I've made a few more white trees...in the sun!
You can find them in my E T S Y shop.

The cutest little angel is made by my dearest friend Rosa. Isn't she dinky? Rosa makes the most beautiful dolls, called Stella By Rosa and you can find her shop H E R E.

hello december

The tree is up!

For Rosa.

merry x-mas everyone

a silent night
a star above
a blessed gift of hope and love

a blessed and merry Christmas to you and yours!

christmas in augustus

Augustus wrapped in Christmas cheer.

For the 8th consecutive year, I took care of the Christmas decorations in Augustus.
Ah, lovely jubbly! (remember Del Boy?)

Last Thursday I decorated the huge chandelier in the restaurant with paper 'snow crystal' garlands.

The big tree and other decorations I did the next day.

Early this Sunday morning, before the guests arrived, I photographed the Christmas atmosphere, because it is such a beautiful tradition.
Just to briefly reflect upon the wow effect...

Because sometimes I forget how outrageously cool this place actually is.

all the merrier

Slowly it gets a little Christmassy in the house.

preen the pine

What's your idea of a perfectly preened x-mas tree?

I like simple...

x-mas rehab

Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas time...

We survived Christmas. Despite flu and intense cold.
The Christmas tree has moved outside and the magnetic pompons are sticking to the locker.

X-mas rehab...

christmas nutcracker

The red squirrel is biting our Christmas nuts one by one.

The nutcracker is a Christmas gift from my dearest niece Afra.
