A Winter’s Day

1 A Winter's Day sm

I feel like I’ve been on the top of Santa’s Nice List the last couple of weeks. In addition to Christmas on 34th Street opening last week, the December version of Wayward Market has just opened the gates for even more holiday shopping.

While I don’t usually take wide angle photos, when I saw the Little Winter Cottage from 22769 ~ [bauwerk], I knew I wouldn’t be able to get away with just using a room of the house in my photos. It is just so perfect! It comes in both a snow-capped an no snow version, so you can use it all year round.

I started adding landscaping and external decorations, but realised the atrium couldn’t be photographed bare. So I had to fill it up, too. Which led to another set of photos, showing the interior. I was going to blog both outside and inside today, but I decided I will dedicate a separate post to the indoors. Stay tuned for that one in the next day or two.

I tried to create a picture postcard type scene; I hope I was able to convey the spirit of the season with this shot. I wish you all the blessings of this special time of year, the joy that can be found on a winter’s day.
