...These Are a Few of my Favorite Things...

This song goes through my head quite regularly.

So today I was driving around town and wanted to document some of the things I have loved this Christmas season.

We have a candy store in a little town just south of us, in West Liberty. 

Marie's Candies.

Cutest little store you've ever been into, not to mention the yummiest candy ever.

This year they have a tree with crystals hanging from it.  It is absolutely beautiful.  When I've gone though town I've stopped just to look at the pretty crystal tree. 

I guess this is their version of "Eye Candy".

Most of you know of my LOVE of snowflakes.

I still love to make the paper ones that I mentioned last year.

But this week I went to lunch with a friend and saw these darling snowflakes made out of wide ribbon.  I'm SO making these next year...and maybe a couple this year.  Okay, ya, I've already started one.

The first snowman of the year. 

They always make me smile.

And lastly, at least for today, pomegranates!  These little jewels are nice and juicy right now. 

yum, yum, yum

Merry Christmas everyone! 

I hope you have been able to see things this season that make you smile.
