MARIETTE'S BACK TO BASICS: {Second Week of Advent 2012}

{Second Week of Advent 2012}

2nd Sunday of Advent went by too fast; so many things to do. Today was also for a big part phone call day with loved ones, after coming home from Church. We still have fond memories from last year when our daughter Liz was staying with us during 2nd Advent Week. That is always special to be with family. We have never had that for any Advent or Christmas in all 29 years...

Our oval Mandalay Chartreuse plate by Masons with two scented candles.

The green rose on the left is a French Point A La Ligne.

The green star emits a wonderful balsam of fir needles...

Just guessing that a lot of you didn't see my post from last year.

You can read here about: {2nd Advent & Great Family Time}

Today was as lovely as last year and tomorrow it will be 24°C. But than it is getting cooler.

This was in the afternoon...

Wishing you all a lovely Second Week of Advent for 2012!

Liebe Mariette,
im Advent rückt die Familie näher zusammen, wenn sie kann. Wo ihr auf alle Erdteile verstreut seid, ist das ja schwierig. Wie gut, dass man mittels Skype doch sich mal sehen kann. Ich habe den 2. Advent auch allein verbracht, obwohl wir wesentlich näher wohnen.
Liebe Grüße, Johanna

Family and traditions are a fabulous combination this time of year. Your Advent scene is lovely and your French Point A La Ligne candle is breathe taking ... the detail petals is magnificent. Wishing you a wonderful 2nd Advent week. xo C. (HHL)

Dearest Mariette,
Oh, advent season must be really important for you☆☆☆ I learned how important Christmas is for western people through blogging. Lovely to hear that you had "phone call day".
Sending you lots of love and hugs from Japan, xoxo Miyako*
