A Bright and Happy New Year!

I love the thought of a New Year just around the corner!
I think there is such optimism with a brand new start to the year.
Filled with nothing but newness, and potential! Do you feel that way too?

I love ringing in the new year with friends and a fairly subdued night,and watch the fireworks exploding in the harsh cold wintry sky!

My husband and I always take a long walk or go skiing on New Year's Day--being out of doors and connecting to nature is so calming and refreshing.
Happy New Year to all!
All the best,

Christmas Wishes

I arrived to the shop early this morning, while it was still foggy, and I was captivated by the beauty of the frost tipped poinsettias and the sun coming through the windshield of the old Studebaker.

Isn't it a glorious Christmas Eve morning, I thought! With joy in my heart, and a smile on my face, I started my day.

Thank you to all my many loyal customers and friends, for making it a wonderful holiday season,
and for all of your support throughout the year.
I am blessed!

Merry Christmas to all of you,
Warmly,
Colette

It's all about the Children!


The countdown is upon us--two more days until my store will be filled with the squeal of children's voices, the giggles and hushed voices too! I can't wait!!

The start of my 3rd Annual Christmas Market, just for kids, begins Friday! We have created a magical entrance to this year's event, and Rachel and Betsy have outdone themselves! I came in today and saw their creation--Magical and glittery and very winter wonderlandish! and the goodies that we have gathered for the Market --wow! Good stuff parents!

My dreary old stockroom has been transformed into a bright happy magical shop! It's like Santa's workshop back there now--a place I actually want to visit! Great job everyone!
So come one, come all to our special market--bring the kiddies, bring their allowance, bring the list of who they're shopping for-- we are ready to make it a Magical experience!

All the best,
Colette

Big Sky Blues!


Today is such a wintry, snowy, day with no blue sky in sight, I felt I needed to share some gorgeous "Montana Big Sky" blues. Nothing like the white of snow with the wintry blues to be a stark contrast.

Can you believe it's already December? I so wish this month would go on slow motion...just to have the time to enjoy the lead up until Christmas.

And to linger over each day and enjoy looking out the window at the snow perched on the trees, covering each limb. It really is a very beautiful season, isn't it? And to have time to take a walk in the evening and hear the crunch crunch of the icy snow underfoot....okay, I really do love the snow and just want to go outside and Play!!!
I tried to take a photo of the snow today, but camera wasn't functioning, so maybe I can get some great shots soon!
In the meantime, just enjoy our wintry weather, and know that somewhere above the clouds is our brilliant blue sky--just like you see here!

all the best,
Colette
