We Nova Scotians, like many other areas in the country, are experiencing a very uncharacteristically mild winter season. We have had very little snow, and what comes down is usually gone in a few days. We haven't even had a long stretch of freezing days. There is a cold day and then it shoots up to +8. I know some of you are laughing at our +8, but we do live in Nova Scotia...right? +8 is balmy when the alternative is -20. ;0)
I do enjoy our distinct four seasons. However, I would never complain if the winter one was a tad shorter. But those who enjoy winter sports such as: skiing, snowboarding, snowmobiling, snowshoeing, and skating need a bit more snow and cold than we have had this year. Even if it does not look like winter outside, it does inside. When the Christmas decorations are packed away, then I get out the snowmen, snowflakes, skates, and sled decorations. We will enjoy them until after Valentine's when I am ready to "hurry spring along".
I filled my jar lanterns about half full with Epsom Salts
and placed a candle inside.
See HERE for my post on ideas using Epsom Salts
including the snowballs you see!

I love your mantel and the beautiful red of the walls. White looks so dramatic against it. I'm like you, I leave a few winter things out until after Valentine's Day then I make it disappear quickly so spring will come. Ha! Too bad it takes another 2 months for the weather to be like spring! We do have snow here, not a lot, and more coming tonight and tomorrow. It's not over yet. Have a super day Tanya! Pamela
ReplyDeleteOh the mantel looks so wintery against the red walls! Very pretty. Hugs,
