Good morning bloggy friends!
I've been listening to Christmas music for a good couple weeks now!
and when I looked at these pictures again......
they totally reminded me of this song
and
~happiness~
sleigh bells ring....are you listening?
in the lane...snow is glistening....
a beautiful site
we're happy tonight
walking in a winter wonderland
gone away is the bluebird
here to stay is a new bird
he sings a love song
as we go along
walking in a winter wonderland....
{pause.....do you have any idea how hard it is not to comment on these pictures???}
in the meadow we can build a snowman
and pretend that he is Parson Brown
he'll say: are you married?
we say: no man
-pause-
{you do recall my love of brown packing paper.....or bags....especially w/ red & white ribbon......
and OH MY HEAVENS....I love those tags!!!probably pop out the generic white ones & replace
w/ red paper???? cuuuuuute!}
-o.k. back to the music-
but you can do the job when you're in town......
later on, we'll conspire
as we dream by the fire
to face unafraid
the plans that we've made...
walking in a winter wonderland
have a fabulous day friends!

Just the best song ever!!! Pictures are perfect too! ~ Angela

Janet
I love your blog and this post also! I am ready to just move in! I think Winter Wonderland is one of the best Christmas songs!
Hi Shellagh,

Carolyn
Beautiful cristmas images, thank you for bringing me in the spirit!
Helle
My heart jumped! I'm starting to get in the mood....we may have snow here in NW Indiana tomorrow!
I am totally stealing that brown paper bag and red tag thing....know where to get the red tags without having to replace the white?
Great post!
I love all those white happy rooms! I want to get off the computer right now and go change my diningroom to white!
Lovely pictures for all of us who are obsessed with all this beauty!
Love all the images, Shellagh. They make me dream! I love the brown bags too. Last year instead of buying gift bags, I bought brown bags with handles from the Dollar Tree and just stamped them a bit and added ribbon. So much better than the store bought stuff.
Have a happy Thanksgiving, my friend!

You have the best pictures. I love red and white at Christmas, I live in
AZ so I never have a white Christmas - but I will enjoy yours.
Blessings,

Gorgeous pictures! I can't wait to get all of my Christmas decor out when I get home. Have a great Thanksgiving.
Shellagh,
Every SINGLE picture is perfection! My total color combo. Love it for Christmas or any other time, but the neutrals with red & white, ohhhh. Love the pots on the trees, yes also those bags with red tags. The stockings...I just bought the new French General fabric from Moda. Have you seen it? Just like those. Thanks for a great dose of holiday inspiration. Lisa
Hi, Shellagh!! These photos were the perfect thing to get me in a Christmas spirit! I needed this!!! Thanks for the inspiration...AGAIN!!!! Hugs to you!!
Just beautiful! This was the inspiration I needed to start decorating. I love the planters on the mantel...gorgeous! Happy Thanksgiving!~Lisa
Sooooo pretty!
Have a very Happy Thanksgiving!

All so festive!
And I've been listening to Christmas music already too, and we have our tree up! We'll decorate it tomorrow!
Enjoy!
All the best to you,

I love the simplicity of red and white at Christmas. Enjoyed your pictures so much and the Christmas song too. Thanksgiving over and I am ready to decorate for Christmas and bring on the Christmas music. I never get tired of it. Your tree's up...I am in awe. But mine is going up tonight. Or maybe tommorrow.
What an inspiring post.
I hope you have a wonderful weekend -
Laura
Christmas!
Yea!
I LOVE all of the images, Shellagh, wow, so pretty and of course my all time favorite song. I used to sing it as I walked, as a teenager, with the snow flakes hitting my face. Funny memory. Hugs, Cindy S.
Well, you've definitely given me that Christmas-y feeling! I love it!
I just love Christmas, music, food, family, friends and everything that come with the season. Cute Post!
Love the red and white. I am a fool for the Target Christmas commercials and their use of red/white. You are definitely helping me get in the spirit!
Debbie
That has always been my favorite Christmas song and your images go perfectly with the lyrics. This is a beautiful post!
Best wishes, Natasha.
I remember seeing this house in WD and absolutely loving it! It is so beautiful!!!
Hope you're having a great week Shellagh!

Now I am really in the Christmas spirit! What a lovely post.
Aaah! I just love those gorgeous images-- all that red and white!
I love the photos of the wrapped gifts. I was wondering if I could wrap my gifts in packing paper with a great ribbon - now I know it would look great. Nice collection of photos.
Chelsea
I know this is a really old post, but wondering where the stockings are from under "gone away is the blue bird, here to stay is the new bird"...I am dying for them!!!
