Christmas in the Country

Spending time in the country these days, researching, writing, sleeping ( after a crazy three weeks) and now Christmas decorating, my favorite! We even chopped our tree ourselves this year, a first.

I found these great country style ornaments at Canadian Tire (a Canadian hardware store chain)for $0.99 and $9.99 for a box of four  yesterday and hung them in every window, they look really fantastic!

Hope that you all have a fantastic weekend!
