What a jolly setting! And what a difference from yesterday's posting! This one really cheers me up!!!Great Christmassy effect!I'm particularly interested in the decorations in the window...are they hanging or are they stuck to something?
Well, no winter feeling around here, it only gets colder by the day!

@Japanalia: Hey Gabriela, it looks to me like it was stuck on the window. Gives me the impression of being 'Victorian' decor, which I adore, I would have liked the left side (right side by the inside standard) to have been clearer 'cause some of the stationery looks superb! Thanks so much for your lovely comment :)

Rebecca from Leicester, United Kingdom
Ohhhhh, How absolutely delightful is this!! :) I just love this combination of contrasting colours, tones, textures, and beautiful patterns, especially the snowflakes :). Truly, you have the soul of Christmas, dear lady. :)

@Rebecca: Thanks Rebecca, it did captivate me, but I take no credit for the lovely decoration, as it's not done by my hand :)
MaryB from Staffordshire, United Kingdom
Oooo! I love it, the reds with the snow and the green window box looks beautiful. I have the snowflake window stickers, they are brilliant, they peel off easy and are re usable, so I get to have snow flakes even if we don't get snow :)
Hope your keeping warm Lorraine, we saw your weather on our news last night, it looks frightfully cold and dangerous!

@MaryB: It's a beautiful decor, i agree. I'll have to get some of those snowflakes, sounds beautiful and handy. Thanks always MaryB, luckily for me I have 3 cats and they all snuggle to me, better than any blankets ;)
@ManuelaR: Thanks a lot Manuela :)

@Viewfinder: Thanks a lot Vf that was taken last week, so I'd be curious to see if there's anything left of it, there's been a least 6 feet of added snow ;)
@laughingwolf: Well I'm glad you like it Wolf :)
