This weekend was my last trip to Rockledge Cottage in N.Y. for the season…reason? Freezin’. *g*. But it wasn’t freezing and nor was there snow. It has been such a good fall…may it last throughout the winter!!
Marc and I went to our friends’ annual Christmas Party. It was wonderful to see almost 70 people together for a lovely evening. Everyone brought in something delicious to pass and the eggnog was homemade and yum. Their traditional 12’ tall fresh tree was decked between the diningroom and kitchen in all its beauty.
This tree was named “Amanda”. Each year their tree is given a name you know….
We walked over to our neighbour’s cottage next door to say our seasonal goodbye. On our concrete steps was a lovely treasure from them. Georgia had cut sprigs of holly with its lovely red berries from their garden and tied them together with beautiful ribbon. Just beautiful in Georgia’s delicate and whimsical style when one least expects it. I have it hanging from a mirror.
I gave Georgia one of my handmade soaps. We promised to keep in touch by email and share our crafty ideas, recipes and just hellos.
I hope you have special neighbours also…. Judi xoxo
