Plaid & Peace

"Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests." Luke 2:14

O Christmas Tree

I love to snuggle under the pastel glow of a shiny brite filled Christmas tree and ponder, as the song goes:

"O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!

How richly God has decked thee!

Thou bidst us true and faithful be,

And trust in God unchangingly."

Tiddleybokken Bakery

Tiddleybokken is sneakily hoping that his friend Gingie (and the intricacy of Lace in Gingerbread) will distract from the fact that he ate all the Hershey's Kisses. 

Christmas Eve

"O tidings of comfort and joy!"



Tinseltown

Tinseltown Christmas Emporium is a year-round Christmas store in Ottawa, Ontario. Attached to Tinseltown, and run by the same owners, is Marie Antoinette & co., an equally astounding boutique of luxurious décor. They are the type of place you walk into and spend half an hour gaping at the first bursting, glittery display. Then you realize you've only stepped one foot past the entrance. Every time you turn around there's some new, wonderful, glamorous item you missed in your awe-struck meandering--items like these: 

Really, if a store's ceiling is this gorgeous, you know you've found a true treasure.

 Obviously I highly recommend visiting these lovely locales! And what's the best news? The two stores are expanding in the spring!



Cherry Picking

These photos are a little late considering the cherries have already been picked, pitted, and eaten (the crisp and cupcakes were good, oh my), but I wanted to share the shiny red glory that is this fruit. Since last year we only got two cherries, this was the first year our tree produced enough cherries for an official harvest...'twas delightful!

God must have enjoyed making cherries. They are like bright jewels dripping off each branch.

I can't get over their glossy perfection!

What is your favourite summer fruit?
