Cranberry cottage looks so inviting. Your visit to Brugge sounds wonderful and how nice to have the B&B to stay at. I can almost taste that chocolate. The shops look great too. Your home looks lovely, the Christmas tree is beautiful. I could go on and on. Wait, I think I just did :) a I enjoyed seeing your quilts too. I'm a quilter also.

It is quite evident that you spent a great amount of time carefully placing each ornament and trim. Lovely!<BR/><BR/>Dagi is precious and just seems to match your tree. He looks very happy and content with his cozy room to curl up in and take plenty of warm naps. It is cold here, too. As soon as the sun sets it gets quite chilly. <BR/><BR/>Have a wonderful Sunday, sweet Heidi.<BR/><BR/>xo,<BR/>Becky<BR/><BR/>PS: Love your previous post. Very interesting reading about the traditions.

I could (and would) sit and stare at it for hours.

He just knew he'd have a perfect background for a nice picture of him :) The book you're reading sounds like such fun for this time of year. We've always done unusual advent calendars (we have quite a collection now) and an advent wreath. I've done advent gifts in the past to friends or family (one small thing for each day), and I usually do an advent gift each Sunday to Jacquelyn. It's always something to do with Christmas.
