Happy Advent!

 Today is the first day of Advent.  I love Advent because it is a quiet time … and I love quiet times.  Yes, I know Advent doesn’t officially start until Sunday but Dec. 1 is just such a nice place to start thinking about it.

I put out some decor yesterday.  Being a person who can’t handle much clutter I did some scaling down this year.  I didn’t put out all that I have and I sort of switched stuff up a bit.  So, here are a couple of things I have added.

Art work a la Bean

Little Scandi tree — I decided I really liked it without a skirt and Santa — I think it is cute!

The ancient wreath that has followed me through three houses for over 30 years.

Little ceramic tree which is new this year — I have always wanted one, never bothered  but when I saw them at Target this year I just bit the bullet and went with it.  I sort of wish I had gotten the green one but, oh well.  The little nativity next to it was purchased a few years ago at Apple Annie’s and the mosquito thing behind needs to be put away.  Please don’t pay much attention to my table as it is strewn with all sorts of meds …. This stupid cold/virus/infection just won’t go away!

So, anyway, I have a couple of other things to add and will show those later — nothing major.  

Have a happy Dec. 1!
