~ Snowflakes...where are you? ~

My little Christmas Village
so magical
with
sweet tiny
paper-mache homes
covered
with
shimmering
frosty
glass glitter
&
bits of
tinsel

wee wonders
that enchant
and
stir up
the
imagination

*
*
*
my mantle is
a
Winter Wonderland
right now
*
So why is it not snowing outside?
{for goodness sakes I live in Canada!}
I am longing for the snow
to
blanket my green world






I guess I will just have to head to the ski hill
{syd and myself taken last snowy January}
just look at those
amazing snow covered trees!
All I really want is a
White Christmas
{we usually have snow by now}
Snow
I know you will be here soon
please hurry
please

Dear koralee, i adore your winter wonderland!! Looks at all the wee wonders in your little vilage...how gorgeous and lovely! It takes me into total holiday mood!

I too adore snow...but too bad we don't get any here in this city of brotherly love. Look at the wonderful snow at your ski trip! I don't know how to ski and i really admire anyone that does! Have a lovely merry happy week and love to yoU!

Believe it or not, we had snow here in the Bay Area today! Crazy! A few little snow flakes fell upon Market Street in San Francisco! I'll be sure to send it your way - ha! :)

Your village is gorgeous! I love the deer :-)

Jane said...

I too would love a White Christmas but in Melbourne it will be either coldish or incredibly hot. I love your little crystal village...

Carrie @ Cottage Cozy said...

We are waiting for snow too! It seems it has snowed everywhere is generally doesn't snow...come on Mr. Snow...I want a white Christmas too! It started today, looked promising, then stopped..ugh!

So pretty Koralee! And just how did you manage to make the snow twinkle down my computer screen! Very cute! Hope you get your wish. xx

Castles Crowns and Cottages said...

Oh you and me love darlin'! I live in Minneapolis, and no snow yet, but TONIGHT'S THE NIGHT they are saying! Maybe it will blow your way first and then come to us! Your decorations are magical and are my favorite type. Little homes, little creatures, what more could I want. Blessings to you, Anita

Tammy @ tinselshop.com said...

Koralee, I just LOVE your little village, I have the same one! It really is a beautiful winter wonderland! I hope your snow comes soon and a little bit makes it south (doubtful, but I can dream...)

Best wishes,
Tammy

As far as the snow we are ready for tonight its coming our way.Its going to start out snow then change to sleet so if you would like the sleet I will surely send up there,LOL.Dont know what it is with us anymore we seem to get mostly sleet during these storms the last few years.

Have a great day!

Julie Marie said...

Hi Koralee..I don't know where the other woman from Utah who posted is, but in Centerville we have a major snowstorm happening right now! Already about five inches and still coming down hard... I would love to send some your way! Bisous... Julie Marie

Hello koralee

I feel just the same! Although being realistic, would not get snow this early here. We have rain and plenty of it! Snow is all that I wish for. I love your little snowy house, so pretty.

You look like you were loving the snow being there in the photo, the snow covered trees behind you look prefect.

I wish you snow soon!
Warm wishes
Isabelle

Claudia said...

Your village is so sweet! I hope you get snow soon! Our little snowfall has mostly melted by this point. Here's to a white Christmas!

Jacqueline @ HOME said...

It all looks so magical and twinkly and gorgeous, Koralee. I hope that your wish for snow will come true. We rarely get snow for Christmas here in the U.K. Our snow usually arrives around February. Have a lovely week. XXXX

Sue said...

Jump on a plane, we here down south in Illinois have a winter storm warning for today and tomorrow. I don't like it, although I do think it is pretty.

I love your village...I have a couple pieces that are similiar, but not a whole village!

Monica said...

What a delightful snow village you have. I haven't seen one like that before. And your ski trip looked wonderful. I agree - we do need a white Christmas. Your little snowflakes falling on the computer screen are really fun!

Cristie said...

Darling show village. Snow is fallin where I am, no doubt for a white Christmas in the land of some of the greatest sking on earth- Utah!

Cindy@Cutepinkstuff said...

Love you Christmas village! I wish I had collected them over the years. The cute houses are more difficult to find and have increased in price! Thanks for stopping by to see my birds and cages. With a name like Bluebird Notes you should definitely have a bird or two!

Pauline said...

Awww, so sweet :o)

Null said...

Koralee, love the winter wonderland you've created for us!

I just got back from a huge art fair and saw a rhinestone deer that reminds me of your reindeer. I just posted a sparkling picture of it, so you may like to take a look.

Pretty Zesty said...

ok, I have to ask. I've been trying to add snow to my blog and can't find a good one/one that works. Can you share your html code for the lovely snow flakes and where you put them in your layout? I just love them. You picked such a subtle design too. NO worries if not! :o)

Brenda Pruitt said...

I hope snow reaches you soon! And I must say, you have one beautiful smile that seems lit from within!

Teresa said...

Charlotte said...

Dear Koralee

Sorry I haven't been by for a while - just horribly busy. I am trying to catch up a bit now (typing in bed!)

Snow.... oh it would be heaven to have a white Christmas but not at all likely for us. Surely you will though won't you - being in Canada and all!

Love Charlotts

Susan said...

We are expecting a snow day here tomorrow in Massachusetts, USA. Perhaps the snow will head right up north to you!
Your village is enchanting, sweet little deer.
Thank you SO MUCH for adding my little bird to your sidebar.
I noticed a few snowflakes falling on your blog. How did you do that? Oh I would love to have virtual snow falling on my blog too!
Blessings!

So delighted you popped over to Bainbridge!
And yes...it is a lovely area!
Oh do have a nice visit to Seattle!
Will you be staying overnight?
Do you come over on the Clipper or drive?
Just to let you know...the little red cottages you saw were up in the mountains at the tree farm...so adorable!
Happy Night!
Are you a teacher? I read something that made me think you might be a teacher.
Up until this year...I have been teaching kindergarten and first grade.

beachvintage.com said...

What a perfect little snow house you have. Oh how I wish we could experience snow here in QLD Australia. It' so darn hot today!

June said...

Hi Koralee, that snowy photo of you and your daughter is so pretty. We don't have much snow to speak of here either. It's been so darn cold (-3 this A.M.) and I'd rather have the white stuff.
My wonderful giveaway arrived today, Everything is awesome. Thank you sooo much!
HUGS~

Maria said...

Hi Koralee!~
I'm late coming to your new post ... that is Oh...so Pretty!
love the snow and all the snowy pictures!
You must have snow before Christmas... We'll all put in some extra prayers for that :D

We've been busy here with some details for Rachael's wedding. Tonight we met with the caterer for over 3 hrs. sooo tired now...
It's always worth it to visit your blog though... makes me smile at the end of the day~
Snowy blessings to you! ~Maria

I love your sweet little Xmas village.

I do love the snow but we seem to go from snow to slush in three easy steps...or not so easy steps with slush round your toes. Ah, Scotland, I do love ya though. :O)

p.s. I'm going to try and make one of those wee houses this weekend with the kids. Thank you for the inspiration!
