A few short days until Christmas... and in true New England fashion, just as the calendar turns over to officially winter, the temperature turns up to feel like spring!
Last weekend we were in a snow storm in the Christmas Parade~ they don't kid when they say if you don't like the weather just wait a minute!
So, let's catch you all up on December, shall we?
First, we have that Christmas parade....
and afterwards, my Mum got a ride!
We got a Christmas tree during a snow storm too!
from a really neat place called Williams Trading Post!
If you are ever in So Middleboro, MA you should stop in!
They are open seasonally, and in addition to plants, they have cool antiques too!
and sleighs will with pointsettias...
and gnomes, and bean pots, and bird baths....
and there is William now!
and flower pots and wind chimes....
It really was snowing very pretty like, while we wandered among the trees....
The Fairy Wagon at home was looking like a winter wonderland!
This is the charming little mouse who assisted me with Crusty Gecko's (from Willow's blog) special Christmas card, tiny little paws for applying tiny little postage stamps....
Miss Belle wanted to say "Hi!"
Cricket too....
JoJo was too busy snacking to comment....
Rose Hips in the setting sun....
This is our fabulous drawing of Cricket!!
Drawn by the amazing artist Eva B ! 
and this the new living room...
but what is that out front?
lean up a little closer....
Meet Clyde, the newest member of the family!
He's very well trained ~ and so far, has been no trouble at all!
The mice have been decorating too...
a hearty snow fall and Christms cards in the mail box!
Looks pretty cozy inside too....
There seem to be mice every where!
These little snowmen are caroling outside Pottery Cottage.
Such fun to get Christmas cards in the mail!
another mouse.....
Christmas scenery abounds!
Clanta, hand made by my friends Mum!
There are wee tiny woodland houses at every turn....
A fun way to use up left over Christmas cards from years past!
Snowman in the saddle....
Yummy Christmas books!
We must get the doggies fluffed up for the Holiday too!

As you can see, Marley is REALLY over excited by this primping...
So there you have it... December thus far in our little corner of the world ~
Happy almost Holidays, where ever you may be!
Wishing you Peace and Joy
and a few quiet moments with a good cup of tea.... to just be.
