St. Lucia - a day late!

We skipped on the saffron buns (Lucy cakes) but had white fish, boiled potatoes and baby peas for dinner. That was Swedish enough - right? : )

Pine Cone Santa - a memory of Tinsley

Certain trinkets of Christmas bring back memories of dear friends who departed way before their time. My best friend Tinsley gave me this Santa (which was crafter dby her dear friend Maria) the year of Tinsley's last Christmas. I miss you every day, my friend.

Just a little bit - like Christmas

Bit by bit the tinsel and balls are coming out -

 St. Lucia is almost here - hooray for meatballs and saffron buns

 An Into Vintage stocking creation by Amy - love that vintage linen.

Three cheers for prims for me and Apothic for the guests.
