Decorating for Christmas

I've been putting up Christmas decorations this week.

No, I don't have a thing for purple. All these purple decorations are what we used 2 years ago for my one & only daughter's wedding reception. What a day that was! It's fun to go back and look at the pictures from that day:

It was a bitter c-o-l-d day. But her outdoor pictures are so beautiful.

Notice the gorgeous wreath in the background. My fabulous talented SIL Jenny made it. Now it hangs outside my front door at Christmas time.

We bought so many purple & silver Christmas balls! Two years later, my eye is still drawn to that color when I look at Christmas decorations in stores.

One of these years I think I will buy some white lights and decorate my tree in purple & silver too. But not this year. Here's my tree and the way it has been decorated for the past 26 years.

Over the years the only think that has changed is the growing number of ornaments. They remind me of places I've visited, and people I have known. Such a great tradition.

Those are very nice colors. It would be pretty to see a tree decked out in Purple and silver. Oh and I love your beautifull new piano.

Wow those did look great. I did think you had a thing for purple though because of your kitchen.

You forget I moved into a house with a purple kitchen. I really didn't have a choice on that one. Some day the purple counter tops will evolve to something else. It's not high on my priority list right now.

What a fun spin on Christmas colors. It's beautiful! A tree decorated in purple and white would be gorgeous I'm sure!

Thanks for checking out my blog. You're right about quilters being a dime a dozen. It's sad to say, but maybe it's time to move on...

What have you created today?
