Lego Christmas Village.

Our girls gifted me some Lego for my birthday in

November and then they decided we were NOT

putting up our traditional Christmas Village. It's

taken a bit to get used to, but I quite like it now!

Chilly Night.

From my chair .... the guitar, tuned and

ready for a song, the table, full of items

but soon the village will replace those.

I love this view on a chilly night. Love!

English Village.

I would love to take dh across the sea one day to

visit the tiny English villages we explored when

I travelled there at 16. He loves to watch "Escape

to the Country" with me and we always marvel at

the quant villages that dot the countryside. We do

hope to get there soon and stay in a little village.

The Village.

Our tiny Christmas Village. We usually have at

least 2 villages set up each year but for this year,

we had just one. Not as many of the trees are out,

or as many people but we love the cozy warmth.

Snowy Village.

First village up and ready for viewing.

I may add trees in to make it realistic.

Village Living.

I love living in the country and

can't imagine living anywhere

else. BUT things change down

the road once the kids are gone,

I could see us moving either to

our little hamlet, or our other

dream, to our tiny island on

the West Coast. The big city is

definitely NOT for us! Having

neighbors a bit closer than the

ones we have "down the lane"

would be fine in a village like

setting. It would be easier at

that time in our lives, I'm sure.

Do you live in the country, in a

village, in a town or in a big city?

Village Plate.

A sweet pottery plate we found at our

local charity shop for the Antique Mall.

Snowy Village.

A few pictures of our Christmas Village.

Glittery snow covers the ground.

Lights cast shadows on the snow.

A new piece this year!
