Christmas stuff :o)

These little gems are 'oh, so delicious!' They are a great duplicate of the Girl Scout Cookies Tagalogs or Samoas or whatever they call them. These have the cookie with the caramel and coconut with chocolate ripple. Oh, yum, yum, YUM! You don't have to wait for the Girl Scouts to sell them, you can find them at your local grocery store! The package has 18 cookies.


I bought two little plants when I was out yesterday. For December VT we decided to go on 'an outing' to a local nursery that decorates to the hilt for the holidays! I might add, very expensive stuff, but beautiful! There is a small poinsettia to the left of my deer and a pretty pink Christmas cactus to the right.

This is the delicate, pretty pink Christmas cactus. I had never seen a pink one! My friend told me not to over water it. It needs very little water. The more water you give it the flowers will fall off quickly. We will see how my black thumb handles this delicate flower.

These two pictures of the small poinsettia really should be 'red' but look pinkish. It's just the lighting of my camera. The flowers are unusual to me, quite unique! I had never seen this kind of poinsettia flower before. The nursery we visited had two dozen kinds of poinsettias, my favorite Christmas flower!



I was playing around the other night and decided to embellish my little cabin in the hall bathroom with a few more things. You'll have to look at the previous post from about a week ago to spot the differences. :o)

You can't see it but I put a very small Christmas tree inside the cabin.

I wonder how the Girl Scouts feel about this!

Love the cabin, so festive!

Your embellished cabin looks so Christmissy and beautiful :) Your grandchildren will love the Christmas tree hiding inside.
