"I do believe in an everyday sort of magic...the inexplicable connectedness we sometimes experience with places, people, works of art and the like; the eerie appropriateness of moments of synchronicity; the whispered voice, the hidden presence, when we think we're alone." Charles de Lint

Unwrapping Our Stories

I made a quick overnight trip to Portland last night for a condo meeting and it was fun to check on the succulent blooms.  The first one is still going strong, the second one is about halfway open, and a third one will be coming right behind it. What a treat during Advent....the season of waiting.


And it was nice to see a blanket of white snow in the woods....and a little blue sky.

And I loved getting notes today from a couple of friends sharing their special Christmas treasures with me. Sharing and connecting....two of my favorite things!

Lynn found some felt ball garland that goes perfectly with her prized felt ornaments made by a neighbor when she was growing up...and Melodee shared some her favorite Christmas characters.



Linda sent me this quote a few days ago:
"I've grown to realize over the years that the things we choose to bring into our homes for the holidays - whether it be ornaments, garland, wreaths or stockings - serve a greater purpose than mere decoration.  It's really our family's history that we get to unwrap every year." Joanna Gaines

Even the new things we bring into our home become part of the story we get to unwrap next year.  Here's a couple little guys I love to unwrap every year!
