My Zuzu!
Here we are as in olden days,
Happy golden days of yore.
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us once more.
Happy golden days of yore.
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us once more.
from ‘Have Yourself A
Merry Little Christmas’ by Blane & Martin
I borrowed props for this feature and spent four months
shooting (the pink and blue themes were shot in this period as well). Doing Christmas up like this is rewarding,
but shall we say a little tough to achieve in real life?! All you really need is:
Family and friends
Cute pets
Chocolate
Evergreens
Candles
Coarse German glass glitter
Vintage glass ornaments
Faux fur accents
More chocolate
A wish for peace on Earth and goodwill to everyone.
The time involved doing well in graduate school and the time
involved blogging with all my heart are incompatible if either are to be
done excellently. Sadly, I must go
on a sabbatical from blogging.
I wish I could gather each of you, my gentle readers, in a
big group hug. Then have hot cocoa by a
bonfire in the snow with music under the stars.
I will drop in on you for that virtual cup of cocoa we share
in our community.
I wish you a very happy holiday season and a new year where
all your dreams come true.
Until next time, stay
shabby!

I found your blog in Sanselig jul to day.
You have a fantastic blog, and I put you in to my bloglist, and of course you got a new follower.
Inger
So beautiful! I did buy JDL with your lovely cottage.
Hyvää joulua!
Sandy, I had no idea how much has gone on with you in the past year. I love to read your blog, but have too been busy with life. I want to wish you an upcoming year of blessings and that God will restore newness to you, Theresa
Beautiful photos and I really enjoyed reading your article in JDL.
Wishing you a Merry Christmas and much blessings to you in the New Year.
Good luck,
Kathleen
Merry Christmas Sandy and may the New Year bring lots of wonderful things your way!
I enjoyed your post and as always it is a joy to see your sweet shabby streamside studio!
Vicki
Oh I so hope sabbatical is not too long. I love visiting you as you are such a warm and beautiful person who is also a style setter. I often include your pics as I want to remember them forever. Hope thats okay. I went looking for the vintage script yesterday but there seemed to be nothing available. I really loved what you had done on the placemats. I simply adore script. Any other tips? much love and best wishes for a fabulous and exciting new year you definitely deserve! Fiona
Thank you so much for your labor of love to share such beauty with us. Your efforts are so much appreciated! We will miss you on your sabbatical from blogging, but am grateful for the previous posts to review. A question please: I am just beginning a blog and would like to include photos, but only have a little digital camera. Do you have a suggestion for a camera for lovely photos?
So very beautiful...every shabby detail... :) Happy Christmas.
Blessings!
We will miss you--your photos are so beautiful! Wishing you the best!
Lovely Christmas♫ Greetings♥..;)
Hugs♥.. Gaby♥
Hi Sandy,
Wishing you all the best for 2013. A New Year for new possibilities.
Hi Sandy,
We'll miss you but I certainly understand. Please stay near. Your photos are always so serene. I know your future is bright. Best wishes for continued success in your studies.
Blessings Always,
Linda at Beautiful Ideas
Wishing you a very bright new year. The transformations of your cottage are beautiful as always.
Sandy,
What a beautiful Christmas scene you have created here.
I love the simple round wreath with simple greenery. I also like the simple candles on the tree with a lone star on top.
I think all bloggers go through the ebb and flow of busy blogging vs. non-blogging, just as we do with any other hobby. Sometimes other things are much more important and must take priority. Best of luck with your graduate courses, and don't forget to unwind from time to time when you feel under pressure.
I wish you a blessed 2013.
Mandy
These are absolutely beautiful, stunning images. I will miss seeing your posts, but i certainly understand the need to take time from it all. I'll keep a look out for when you check in occasionally and have a wonderful 2013...
Cindy
I will miss your blog, your pictures, your sharing but i understand. Good luck with what comes to you in 2013, i hope you don't mind if i send you an email from time to time.
Oh Sandy, it's good to see your posts, but we understand your schooling takes priority right now. I've been meaning to write and tell you how much I enjoyed your features in RH and JDL. Swoon, sigh and drop-the-jaw! Your enchanting studio looks breathtaking, and it's heartening to see one of your dreams come true - to be published in our beloved JDL after discovering it in the past few years.
Well done! I wish you many blessings & more dreams coming true in 2013.
xo, Susan
Dreamy....
Happy New Year, Sandy!

Dear Sandy,
I hope you are doing well. I once saw a picture of your studio and immediately fell in love with it! I saved the picture on my computer and often wondered who owned this little fairytale. Now, years later, I found your blog while browsing for shabby chic decorating ideas. This post and the lovely Christmas-themed video on your YouTube account have me longing for Christmas, in June!!! I hope your school work is going great and hopefully you'll start blogging again soon.
Love, Steffie
miss you xo
