Bling in the New Year!




Welcome Friends to

"Bling in the New Year!"


I just love being able to add "bling" when decorating at Christmas Time.


Pink, Pearls and Crystal for Christmas....


















I may leave the Christmas Bling up for a few days!









Chandeliers at the cottage add a little sparkle and bling too!








Will you be a little sad to put all of your Christmas sparkle and "bling" away for another year?







Thank you Dear Blogging Friends for your 

Friendship and Visits in 2014!


I look forward to seeing you again in 2015!

Happy New Year!

A Purple Christmas Tea





Welcome Festive Friends to

"A Purple Christmas Tea"

I do hope that you are all ready for Christmas.


Today I thought I would share unusual  Christmas colours ...... since my family room decor are tones of mauve and mint green I must make the best of it at Christmas time.


This is the room where the family spends most of their time relaxing and visiting and appropriately called our Family Room! 


One of my son's girlfriends once said the room reminded her of a dollhouse. 







It's a cozy room to enjoy our tea together.


I have decorated the mantel in purple and mauve ornaments.


Reindeer, Birds and Bobbles.



And the sideboard also has some Christmas sparkle too!

I did manage to even find a mini purple tree.


Let's sip our hot tea by the warm fire.


Whenever I admire my violet and lavender china I think of Judith at Lavender Cottage.

Speaking of Judith, I must link up the for first time at her Mosaic Mondays. 



I am just learning to make collages.


Although the teacups are made by two different china companies, they are identical. 


Millers was once an exclusive jewelery store in Vancouver, B.C. that also sold china. There was  one in my hometown of New Westminster too.




The Christmas balls were once my mother and father's.  I have seen similar brand new ones.  Don't they resemble disco balls?  



My sweet daughter-in-law's Aunt Lulu made our delicious treats today.  Please enjoy a green tea and chocolate or oatmeal coconut cookie.  Thank you Dear Lulu!


Baking is such a lovely gift!





Thank you my Festive Friends for taking time out from your busy Christmas schedule to visit me today!
