Oh my, it seems that December posting is not that intense this year. Days fly by, and it is almost third Advent already, only a week and some to go until the big day! Here are some pictures from the past week:
We had the first hyacinths (LOVE the scent, simply divine), celebrated Finland's 97th Independence Day, baked the first cookies (Hattifatteners are the traditional ones), and two candles were lid on the second Advent...
... first pretty cards arrived, and the first present too! I must not open it yet, I simply must not...
*click to enlarge and to see a bit closer*
...and my Christmas Village Everwood* is up! It has a new tree (with a music box) for its central square, and the happy snowman ice-skating (also with music) I got last year from my hb's sister. Everwood is pretty large already, but I am just off to Christmas Fair and there might be a little something to add still - villages keep growing, right?
Wonderful weekend to you all!
Yours,
Mia
*Oh yes, named after one of my ultimate favorite TV-series

Mia,
My days are flying by too.
I like your Hattifatteners cookies. Very cute.
Your bulbs are beautiful. Wonderful to see them bloom in the cold winter.
Have a wonderful week.

Your little village is enchanting.
Hello Cheryl,
