wowww what a wonderful Christmas atmosphere to enjoy sitting here on the couch ..... what an inspiration ...... who wants to celebrate Christmas not so ... wish you a nice weekend and the next post .... nice greetings rosita
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful Glenda... thank you for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteI am now looking at all my silver that needs to be polished, and cloudy glass that could do with a wash!
No snow here in Northumberland yet, but the days are getting more chilly.
Have a wonderful time getting ready for Christmas. Abby x
Wonderful Christmas inspiration.
ReplyDeleteI love the inspiration on your blog!
Warm greetings
I am sure you can hear me squeal all the way from your glorious farmhouse, fabulous images. The crisp whites and fairytale sparkles are inspired. I have decided as we don't have a log fire, it is candles all the way this year. Your description of Christmas decorating the Glenda way is magical, we need photos!, nay yearn for them. I agree a dusting of snow is all that is required to finish the masterpiece. You have such a gift, a true "if you are going to do anything at all why not make it beautiful" philosophy.
ReplyDeleteAlso I am very remiss for not commenting on your last blog post, words fail me again, my favourite hues all in one post. I could sink into the dreamy loveliness of your images for ever, heart thumpingly wonderful.
Hugs from here as ever x
Just the medicine needed as I lie here with a horrid cold and sore throat, another wonderful post to lift the spirits.
ReplyDeleteThank you xx

Oh, Glenda! Such a beautiful post! What simple elegance, combined with coziness!!! Our farm has been chosen to be on the Christmas House Tour this year, and I am taking the cue from these images for my decorating. I will be poring over these photos in the days to come, as I start the Christmas season tomorrow. But today is Thanksgiving! And among the many things I am thankful for this year, is The Paper Mulberry!!!
ReplyDeleteBlessings to you and yours,

Lovely post. You have just inspired me to go for a neutral theme this Christmas, really getting bored of red and green.

Hello dear Glenda
ReplyDeleteAs always your taste in decorating is impeccable. Mercury glass mesmerizes.
I am just starting to think about decorations and before we know it the parties will begin.
We do not expect snow here at beautiful Indian Rocks Beach Florida.
The sand is the colour of snow
Wishing you a fun week

Absolutely gorgeous pictures, Christmas is such a wonderful time to enjoy decorating, however it is far more inspiring in a colder climate than a hot one.
ReplyDeleteIn Sydney Australia it is hard to get motivated when it is so hot and humid.
Wishing you a wonderful white Christmas Glenda:)

as usual, you've transported me with your visions of loveliness. thanks for the trip! :)
ReplyDeleteOh Glenda, yet another gorgeous post...visiting your blog is like opening a particularly beautiful homewares magazine!! I noticed a photo of Waddesdon Manor...one of my favourite places to visit...being only 20 minutes away...last year I visited during the heavy snow to see the French Xmas display and it did not disappoint. The whole day was a magical adventure as I drove home throught thick snow, got stuck, got pulled out by another motorist...and marvelled at the scenery all the way home (doing 15 mph). Waddesdon, with it's twinkling xmas trees looks amazing at this time of year! Robx
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful! Thank you for the inspiration.
ReplyDeletebelas imagens!! Parabéns pelo blog lindo!!
ReplyDeleteSuperbly curated Glenda as usual! Our Aussie Chrissie will be so different - the airconditioner on full blast, a big bowl of icy cold prawns with mango salad, semifreddo & a shady tree in the garden to lie down under to have a post-prandial kip. Oh & trying to get all our sons to ditch the flip-flops & wear appropriate footwear for Christmas lunch!

I love all of this glittery white and silver. It seems like everyone is leaning toward simple elegance, which I like a lot. These are beautiful images; great sources of inspiration.
