Christmas decorations are going up around the house. I found a slim white tree at a charity sale for the master bedroom. It is now festooned with pale turquoise, glittered gold, and clear glass globes, with white snowflakes topped with a shining star. Oh yes, it has white boas which Rocky the Cat likes to pull down and "groom", then lay on them. Love it -- and looks perfect in its little corner of the bedroom! May you find some beauty to make your heart sing, too! Thanks for stopping by each week!!
