Well, here we have it!
After having a very cold but snow-free
Winter, we got walloped.
We "only" got 22" with very high winds.

Suddenly it became a WINTER WONDERLAND!

The lamp wore a bonnet ...
and so did everything else.

The tree by the front door was
unrecognisable and later tipped over......
to be redecorated tomorrow.
Off course first I have to find all the decorations.

Poor hubby is digging and digging.
First was the bird feeding station,
where he took a fall and when I looked up
he had disappeared in the deep snow.
Yes, he is alright, but I had a scare.
Could not fathom where he had gone to
in such a short time!!!!!!!

So I decided with my bad back to stay inside.
Welcome to the Dutch door downstairs
leading to our garden.

This is the room we call the T&T room...........
Toys and Teddies Room.
The room is right next to my studio
and much loved, because it holds many
of our antique and vintage toys.

The build-in cabinet hides the TV
and sports one of my Santa's and a tree
with birdies I made.

This is our sons favorite Santa.
He loves the color green, nature and hiking.

This sweet teddy sits on an old doll trunk.
My girlfriend Paula gave me all the wonderful
antique dolls clothing one year for Christmas.
What a delight!!!!
Don't you just love Teddies pets.

Antique doll trunks are one of my many passions.
Steiff kangoroo. Teeny teddies cuddle up instead.

One of my snow girls feels quite at home
in her antique Adirondack rocker.
being chased by a dogie,
the little squirrel is holding on for dear life.

Another corner in our T&T room.
I love all things Swedish and the horses
and some of the straw stars come
from there.
I love to sit in this arm chair and contemplate
what I will create next.
The cupboard stores my finished dolls.
when I still lived in Germany.
Another Christmas and year come to a close.
I wish everyone a
Happy and Healthy New Year.
God bless,
Evi
