 These triangle lights remind me of a very happy winter trip to Stockholm where almost every window had either these lights or a large star. I loved the city -wide simplicity of that. If I coulld keep only one decoetion it would be these. I have them in every window, and if I come home in the dark the sight of them warms my hearrt. What's your favourite? The one which warms your heart and makes this nidwinter season seem special?

Your lights strike me as being a sign of goodwill, celebration and sanctuary and home, and I like the fact that this was the unspoken message sent out city-wide in Stockholm. My favourite decoration is my Christmas tree. We have always had a tall tree and I always decorate it in red and gold. When the children were young, and in the years after too, I used to go into the silent, evening sitting room where the only light came from the mass of fairy lights and simply stand by myself and take in the atmosphere which was tangible with Christmas happiness, joy and peace.

What a lovely description of your tree Rosemary. I love the tree too, and the darkness, the silence and the scent of it. The magic of it.

I was thinking of you yesterday as it was Saint Lucy's Day. I have a big old mirror and I always have a string of white lights around it. That is my favourite decoration.

So many of the winter traditions are about light and your mirrored white lights sound entrancing Grace.

Lights in windows always lift my mood and I imagine your candle arches will shine out from the house to light the darkness. My favourite is a bunch of twigs, painted white and mounted on a base with few small lights fastened to the twigs. It was bought very cheaply and is not terribly well made but I look forward to putting it out each year though the twigs are brittle now and bits tend to drop off. Might end up with a much smaller decoration.

I have plans to do something similar this year Susan, but haven’t got round to it yet...Sounds delightful even if smaller each year! Leave a Reply. |
