{Dark Days Before Christmas}

We are having some really DARK & RAINY days before Christmas, complete with THUNDER!
Not easy for making any photos...
Around 4:00 PM in the afternoon...
Lit all candles in our green wooden Christmas tree.
The idea for using a candle with empty escargot shells I got from a blogger friend.
You can see on my CANDLES Pinterest board
This Baccarat crystal caviar bowl is missing its top insert so it is perfect for filling it up with shells.
The Hardanger Christmas table topper is from Bad Münstereifel in Germany.
Holly berries are from our garden...
Thunder for now but on Christmas day the sun is peaking and it will be 82°F, like on Thursday.
Wishing you all a Merry Christmas!


My posts are not showing up on the Blog List for some reason... still an old one showing.

    I like a Christmas tree with candles, and no decoration shells. I wish you a happy Christmas.

    Liebe Mariette,
    das ist hier auch nicht viel anders. Die Tage sind immer noch kurz, werden allerdings schon unmerklich wieder länger. Gestern schien aber zeitweilig die Sonne sehr schön. Nur wenn Besuch kommt, hat man nicht viel davon, da es drinnen genug zu tun gibt.

    Ich wünsche Dir und Deiner Familie noch einen schönen 2. Weihnachtstag und denke, daß wir uns bis Silvester aber noch lesen.

    Viele liebe Grüße
    Sara

    abnormal weather. Wishing you will have wonderful and not so busy coming year end.

    Fijne dagen nog.

    Liefs Bianca xx
