White Wedneday

An Argentinian Christmas.

On Christmas Eve...
the good wishes fill up the room.

At midnight,
after a delicious dinner,
and lots of laughter...
we all sit next to the Christmas tree.

Years ago, when the kids were little
Santa used to knock at the door,
or run on the roof,
and even show up in the middle of the living room...

Back then, the kids sang and performed for us
while waiting until midnight.
Now, we play Pictionary
and wait anxiously until the moment
we can open our presents...

Midnight of the 24th,
is technically Christmas morning...isn't it?
Well, close enough!
On Christmas Day,
we wake up very late,
and by one or two o'clock in the afternoon
we get together again
eat some more
laugh some more
and start thinking about the New Year's Party!

From our home to yours,
all the best for this Holiday Season.
No matter how you celebrate,
and what you celebrate
may your family be safe,
healthy
and surrounded by love!

"Love is what's in the room with you at Christmas
if you stop opening presents and listen"
~Author unknown, attributed to a 7-year-old named Bobby~


Happy White Wednesday!

Home for the Holidays...

I started practicing my soldering finally

and after making several charms,
(can't show them because they are Christmas gifts)
I came up with the Momma Charm...

Vintage numbers,
a little glitter,
a chandelier prism...

produced a charm that no human neck can take

but that tells you exactly where to be
for the Holidays!

White Wednesday

On this gorgeously warm and sunny day,

hope all your dreams come true!

No matter what color they are....
Happy White Wednesday!

It's beginning to look...

a lot like Christmas!
...a very simple Christmas...


Following an Argentinian tradition,
the Christmas tree came out of solitude
on December 8th and will stay up
until January 7th...

The vintage ornaments
that won my heart a few years back
are this year displayed inside bowls...

urns...

and under glass cloches...

The good wishes have filled the room...

and even my "corner guy" is ready...

A little shopping,
lots of good food
and definitely no stress!
I try to keep it simple,
whatever is done...is done
whatever is not...
I can always "get it right" next year!

Christmas glitter...

I liked the idea of using my big stars

as tree toppers,

so I added a clothes pin on the back
to make them easier to use...

How surprised I was
when I tried them in different displays
around my home!
I think they make everything so festive...

I hope they will also look good
on my Christmas tree,
but I'll have to wait until tomorrow to try that...
that's when I decorate it!
(Argentinian tradition)

I'm having computer troubles...grrrr

I'm not sure if I can visit you today,

but if you can, visit all the

White Wednesday girls for me!


UPDATE:
BOTH SOLD
but more in production

Good girl....

I received my box last Friday morning.

My own soldering supplies!!
(thank you Rita for all the tips!!)

I can't wait to open it...

I have all this ideas in my mind
fighting to come out and be soldered...

but I know that if I open that box....

I will never complete my Christmas projects!

Luckily,
stuff is selling
and my Country Roads space needs more.

I just hope that Santa
is watching me and realizes
what a good girl I am...damn it!!!


In a serious note:
thank you so much to all the wonderful customers
that support small stores, artists and antique dealers
every time they take a little handmade or
a little vintage home!

There is always room...

for a little Pink Christmas Inspiration!

To all the pink lovers out there:
Sweet...

Thank you, Deb!
