I'm on vacation until after January First.

Have a wonderful Holiday!

Angel Ornaments

IT'S HERE!

" I am light as a feather, I am as happy as an angel, I am as merry as a schoolboy. I am as giddy as a drunken man. A merry Christmas to everybody! A happy New Year to all the world!"

Charles Dickens

Of all the angels looked at, and drooled over during my count down until Christmas, this little one stole my heart. It will be the one I give to my daughter as part of our yearly Christmas tradition. Created by Two Left Hands. Click here.

Wishing you the warmest thoughts and best wishes for a wonderful Holiday and a Happy New Year.

Only 3 days until Christmas!

“A good holiday is one spent among people whose notions of time are vaguer than yours.”

John B. Priestly 

This Gothic Fantasy print was painted by a 29 year old from Celebration Florida.

And what's with all the cool city names in Florida? Must be the glorious sunshine that inspired the founders.

Four corners to my bed,

Four angels around my head.

One to watch and two to pray, 

and one to keep all fear away.

Christmas is for children. But it is for grownups too. Even if it is a headache, a chore, and nightmare, it is a period of necessary defrosting of chill and hide-bound hearts.

Good news from heaven the angels bring,
Glad tidings to the earth they sing:
To us this day a child is given,
To crown us with the joy of heaven.
- Martin Luther

Look closely at this image. Do you see those little angels flying around? Wouldn't that be cool if that's how it really is in life - angels all around us -  we just can't see them? This clever image was designed by Norwegian Artist Ingrid Brandth, click here:  www.ingridbrandth.com

Hark the herald angels sing

"Glory to the newborn King!

Peace on earth and mercy mild

God and sinners reconciled"

Joyful, all ye nations rise

Join the triumph of the skies

With the angelic host proclaim:

"Christ is born in Bethlehem"

Hark! The herald angels sing

"Glory to the newborn King!"

Words by Charles Wesley, 1739 Music by Felix Mendelssohn 1840

This folksy angel, made from a recycled hymn book, brought back a flood of memories for me. It reminded me of when I was a child some kind soul took the time to show me how to make these paper-book angels. We neatly folded one corner of each page of an old text book towards the center spine, page after page until we had folded the entire book. We finished it with a coating of gold spray paint. I like how "Aunt B," of Arlington Texas, leaves her pages unpainted and attached to the actual hynmal cover. The crocheted doily collar is a nice touch too. Thank you Aunt B for warming my heart and bringing back many fond memories of Christmas crafting as a child.

Every piece of the universe, even the tiniest little snow crystal, matters somehow. I have a place in the pattern, and so do you…!

As we struggle with shopping lists and invitations, compounded by December's bad weather, it is good to be reminded that there are people in our lives who are worth this aggravation, and people to whom we are worth the same.
Donald E. Westlake

This style of jewelry is known as "Steampunk." Michelle Harris, the Columbus artist who created the angel above, works with high-end vintage and antique oddities such as watch parts from the early 1900's. It's fun to try and imagine who owned these metal parts from days gone by - does a piece of their spirit still linger in them?

"Christmas gift suggestions: To your enemy, forgiveness. To an opponent, tolerance. To a friend, your heart. To a customer, service. To all, charity. To every child, a good example. To yourself, respect."

"Tiny Tim hoped the people saw him in the church, because he was a cripple, and it might be pleasant to them to remember, upon Christmas Day, who made lame beggars walk and blind men see."

A Christmas candle is a lovely thing; It makes no noise at all, But softly gives itself away; While quite unselfish, it grows small.
