merry me

This past weekend was filled with family, friends and

 the exchange of a few early Christmas presents...


Here are a few of my most favorite (new) things.

I just cant get over this little birdie...

and how very lucky am I to have been given this as a gift?

Each year my mom gives me a paper white bulb kit.

They always bring back fond memories of my holidays as a child in her home 

and of my dear Nana, who loved their sweet smell.

A generous gift card to my most favorite of stores, a Christmas pickle and

 an adorable handmade monogram ornament also top my list of favorites ,

along with Jingle, the sweetest little Christmas dog...

Seriously, how very lucky am I?

Thank you so very much.
