Less than two hours left

I will start new year in flu.

It has been coming a while,

and turned bad in afternoon,

so I left earlier from work

- just to get some sleep.

and get headache down.

Saturday, Flea Market shopping

I was shopping in Flea Markets today.

And boy, it turned expensive trip.

First I found six more tea cups for set my Hubby brought to me from Soviet Union in 80's.

I had six cups earlier,

but now I am able to set table for whole family!

Sunny Christmas

Christmas Day dawned with sun.

It was cold. 

We ended up to drive to Hietaniemi

- to light up candles on my father's grave.

Christmas Eve

It is Christmas Night.

Eve is spent and we all can rest next to our bellies.

We started preparations for dinner during forenoon

moving sofas and taking kitchen table into living room.

Winter Solstice

Today is Winter Solstice.

North enough - no sunrise.

But here: a promise that the Sun will come back.

Eventually.

Next Christmas will be 35th in our life together, 

with my Hubby and I.

After engagement we spent Christmas at my home,

with my family and relatives,

in the way, my family spent it.

When my Hubby and I got married,

and our first Christmas together was waiting for around the corner,

my Hubby asked:

"Are we going to spend Christmas?"

Sore throat

I woke up in the morning to see beautiful sight:

Wet and heavy snow...

Stargate and mixed cuttings

I was pondering tablescape of Christmas Eve.

I need to set table with mixed things,

because I don't have enough f.e. plates alike.

It seems there will be 8 adults and 5 children.

And I do have few new plates I bought from flea market

- which I of course want to use.

I don't have service plates either.

So I needed something.

This year I wanted my Christmas be a little brown, a little white and a little gold.

This is how it seems to be....

We bought new mailbox last year. 

It turned out a mistake.

Mail was wet and broke and the lock broke during first frost.

So I sudden found out,

I am having an extra mail box lolling around.

Cottage porch

I am not sure,

how I spend my evenings.

After coming from work,

and when dishes and dinner are done,

I sudden find out,

it is time for bed.

So I try to do something quick and simple.

Like cottage porch decor.
