Your Advent~Calendar – Day 16 🎅🏼

Hello my lovely friends 😍

I know why you’re here 😁 You wanna look behind Door #17. So let’s…

Now that’s quite creative – in every sense! I’m sure we’ve all been there. So bring out the markers 😊

Have a wonderful day!

Thank you for stopping by and I hope that you’ll be back for the opening of the remaining doors…not many left 🤩

Your Advent~Calendar – Day 15 🎅🏼

Hello my lovely friends 🥰

Welcome back! Now let’s open this door, and see what Day 15 has in store for us 😎

It’s….Snowglobes 😍

This time of year I have them all over the house. Here I gathered a few for show-and-tell 🙂

I found out some interesting tidbits about the history of these whimsical treasures.

✨The first version of a snow globe was displayed at the ‘Paris Universal Exposition’ in 1878 by a local glass company. It is described as “A paperweight, a hollow ball, filled with water and a white powder, which seems to ‘snow down’ on a man holding an umbrella”.

So how did we get from there to today? That’s described, in detail, in this article from artsy.com* (page will open in a new window).

It’s a very interesting story I hope you enjoy! 🤓

Before I go – here’s one more snow globe displayed, no…not in Paris 😁, it’s right here, in my little abode.

It’s my granddaughter’s favorite. When turned on it plays ‘Jingle Bells’ and the snow swirls around 😊 She loves it, the adults endure it 😅 It looks a lot better than it sounds. It plays a rather tinny version of this beautiful song. My daughter compared it to a smoke alarm 😄

Thank you for stopping by and I hope you’ll be back for the opening of the remaining doors! 🎅🏼

Your Advent~Calendar – Day 14 🎅🏼

Hello my lovely friends 🥰

Sorry this is a tad late. I’m having a little trouble in the energy/motivation department. But, never mind that – we’re all here now, so let’s open this door 😊

Door #14 hid a beautiful Poinsettia 😍

And some great tips all around the gorgeous plant from country living.com* , like how to pick the perfect plant, how to care for them…who knew they need so much water 😳

Happy plant-shopping! I hope you find a fabulous one! 💖

Thanks for stopping by and I hope that you’ll be back for the opening of the remaining doors! 🎅🏼

Your Advent~Calendar – Day 12 🎅🏼

Hello my lovely friends 😍

Another exciting Saturday night in our house 😅 So let’s open Door #12…I have a feeling that whatever we find will be put to good use tonight 😉

A pretty mug to hold your favorite hot beverage while binging the Christmas movies. And what will that be? Hot Chocolate, Coffee, mulled wine?

Do you have a favorite Christmas movie? 🎄

I do like a few of the newer Hallmark Christmas movies, but my absolute favorite is ‘White Christmas’ 🌨❄️🌨 I watched it whenever it was on. No matter the time of day 😅 So you can imagine my delight when I found out that it’s on Netflix! At least now I can somewhat control the time and frequency. 🙃

Thanks for stopping by, and I hope that you will be back for the opening of the remaining doors! 🎅🏼

Your Advent~Calendar – Day 11 🎅🏼

Hello my lovely friends 💕

Happy Weekend-Eve! 😎 Let’s see what surprise is behind Door #11…

Some fabulous Christmas crafts! I love the floating-ornaments decorations!

Last year I tried my hand at one, and am pretty happy with it. I do wish I had used a longer fork – oh well, too late now 🙃 It still looks kinda floaty, so I’m happy 😁

If you like what you see, and would like to make your own, please click here for instructions and more fun ideas 🎄 (page will open in a new window)

Happy crafting! 🙂

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you’ll join me for the opening of the remaining doors. 🎅🏼

Your Advent~Calendar – Day 10 🎅🏼

Hello my lovely friends 😍

Aaaaaand we find….a wonderful idea for DIY Christmas ornaments 😍

Now I’m thinking, just tracing (no glue) and cutting would make cute, unique gift-tags. 🥰

Your Advent~Calendar – Day 9 🎅🏼

Hello my lovely friends 😍

No, we didn’t travel back in time 🙃 I’m just super-late in opening the doors on our calendar. I was a bit under the weather the last few days. Nothing serious, just some food-related stomach issues 🤢

But now I’m all better, and ready to peek behind Door #9 😊

Oh, look…a delicious and easy dessert idea* 👩🏻‍🍳

That’s definitely something that will go into my recipe book 😊

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you come back for the opening of the remaining doors 🥰
