{4th Advent}

The final Sunday of Advent is there and soon we have Christmas! Another short and speedy year... Are you having the same experience too? Especially if one is not feeling totally fit, it kind of slips through your fingers. There is no halting to time, we are forced to move forward with the masses. But again I'd like to show some Advent photos to you.
Inside our veranda, in front of the shaded windows. Shadows from the live oak cast onto the linen shades due to the sunshine we had on Saturday. The green cotton Zweigart Aida tablecloth now with a Mason's Mandalay Chartreuse plate for the brass spiral candle holders.
In the back is a group of angels looking on, all from South Tyrol, Italy.
The one on the left is a ceramic one and was a gift from Italian friend Maria from Ristorante da Maria and the others are all wooden angels from Italy.
Our healthy Sago Palm makes it look more exotic, like our years living in Indonesia where we spent Christmas in the tropics.
Seen is also the Lampe Berger with Cherub from our private collection.
All the angels - cherubs
Wishing you all a Happy 4th Advent!

    Liebe Mariette,
    der Teller mit den 4 Kerzen ist wunderschön. Mir gefällt diese Deko.
    Um Deine Engel beneide ich dich. Obwohl: Ich habe auch eine kleine Sammlung von Bozener Engeln. Sie sind immer wieder schön.
    Einen schönen 4. Advent wünscht
    Irmi

    Lovely collection, Mariette. I don't know how you recall so many details. I can't remember the where, when, why or how of anything. Have a major migraine today. The third in a week's time which is unusual for me. Must go to bed soon. goodnite! Tammy

    Liebe Mariette,
    ja, das ist wahr, ob man in Stimmung ist oder nicht, ob gesund oder nicht, immer wird es plötzlich Weihnachten. Aber damit es Weihnachten im Herzen wird, braucht gar nicht so viel Vorbereitung. Das geht auch einfach so. Deine Engelchen sind sehr hübsch und der wunderbare Teller mit den Kerzen ist richtig edel. Ich wünsche dir und Pieter ein schönes, friedliches Weihnachtsfest.
    Liebe Grüße, Johanna

    Happy 4th advent to you too! I agree time goes very quickly, and I am already completely exhausted, and it's not even Christmas!!Mind you I did have a bug for a long time and quite a few orders to work on so all work and no play.Hope you will get your health back over Christmas and the new year!!
    XOXO

    Lieve Mariette,

    Wat een gezellig hoekje in je kamer! De tijd gaat inderdaad snel. Van mij zou het zo nu en dan ook wel even stil mogen staan. Al is het alleen maar om overal iets langer van te kunnen genieten.

    Ik hoop dat je je sneller iets beter voelt!

    Lieve groet & een gezellige nieuwe week!

    Madelief x

    My dear friend, I'm catching up on blog visits - after being away visiting my family. Your 4th Advent is lovely! I smiled at seeing the Lampe Berge we share... Your post on Christmas memories and the beautiful treasures you shared, truly are what the season is about!

    Your beautiful Angelic population on the mantle is exquisite!! Happy Holidays, HHL
