Wishing You Peace...

I'm not sure where it started, and I'm sure I'm dreadfully late in posting it, but here is my (new) favorite ornament (they do often rotate in my adoration of them):

I received this lovely ornament tonight from my neighbor (who is also my landlady). I was so surprised when I opened it. Two peace doves! This lovely ball has joined a set of 6 heavy construction paper doves with gilded trimming from Guatelama that I found at a church sale I try to attend every Christmas, as well as my mother's ivory dove, which she cherished upon finding it 40+ years ago at another sale of items from underdeveloped countries (as they were known at the time).

As I said over on Nana Sadie's Place 2008 is my year of peace. I'm certainly finding these serendipitous happenings that point to (in my mind) this being the right focus for me in the coming year...

A quick glimpse of the far side of my living room tonight. There are 3 large packages not shown under the tree. There's limited space there and we need to be able to walk thru to the other room.

Tomorrow, I'll post photos of many of the Christmas projects I completed for gifts this year that have been underwraps for months now. I can't wait to see what you think!

Have a wonderful holiday, and may peace join you at your table tomorrow.
