Watch Out Jack Frost Is About!

Happy of happiest Tuesdays

 to you all...

( Thank you Google)

While we were sleeping last night

some one was out and about casting his

wonderful cloak of silvery white shadows..

~ There is a post dedicated to the man himself...

Jack Frost!

( ~ Over on Bumble Bee blog spot)

Please stop by if you  have time and say hello!

~ It is most appreciated!

He's a mysterious one...

That Jack Frost...

Nipping those little fingers and toes...

~ Once upon a time, when I was small 

 I loved following the slippy,

 crispy trails.....of white dusting...

But I never found the

man with the tall pointed hat and sharp long

 fingers and toes

who could change the colour of the landscape

over night!

I wonder, did you?

( Thank you Google)

Brrrrrr

Keep cosy and warm and thank you always for leaving

the kindest of thoughts and comments!

You are all so very lovely!

The full Beaver Moon...

The Full moon in November...

The Beaver moon.

Beaver traps were set during this time, before the waters froze,

 so furs would be abundant for the cold months ahead.

For some people, the full Beaver Moon is the last

chance to do something they have been wanting to do

but put off, before the heaviness of winter settles over them..

For those who follow the cycles of the moon,

tomorrow see's the full moon in November...

The Full Beaver moon..

~ a moon for getting those tasks

out in the open and jolly well

 done and dusted 

before 

the starkness of winter time...

I will be using the moons guidance tomorrow with paper work

 long over due sorting! 

Happy off happiest Saturdays to you! 

Today I am meeting (old) friends for a luncheon meal

( love calling it this)

We are gathering together to celebrate belated birthdays!

Eating Chinese food and chatting about our days!

It's seems quite a while since we have all gathered together...

and I can't wait to catch up!!

~ and one of the best-est bits about eating Chinese food is

the fortune cookies at the end...

I always bring mine home to open and make a wish

upon....

Friends, do in deed make your days Twinkle!

********

I of course will not be 
wearing of  Beavers fur!

Ooh no sire!!

hehe!

I treated my self to this faux fur gillet from, Top shop of

all the shops and will be wearing over my most favourite frock

( from ,Noa Noa)

which it seems I have owned for ever and ever....

I really have..

 I bring it out each Autumn time...

And those clog boots of course from  an earlier post.

~ Being one of the coldest of folks!!!

I am loving all the warm Autumnal shades of

 mustard and sage greens, right now!

My favourite colours for the approaching chilly days..

Layering of clothes keeps you the most cosiest too...

Pretty, Smoky watching close by...

she's an oldish gal, even though she appears to have eternal youth!

she feels the cold and loves nothing better than snuggling down beside you..

But she never, ever lays on your knee...

Much to shy!

She belonged to my Mama, of course...

~ and has the loudest purrs you may ever have heard...

Thank you for the kindest thoughts and twinkly wishes, for Miss Olivia!

I have gathered them all up and placed in ~

The wish box!

~ What will be will be....

I hope your Saturday is of the

Happiest kind...

( I work most Saturdays)

So today is one for popping on those 'glad rags' and

taking time out with friends...

hehe!

~ And of course Taking Time To Dream...

Hugs and kisses..

The Wish Box...

November.

November silently sneaks up on us,

catching all our senses by surprise.

Suddenly, there's no shade, no shine,

no butterflies, no bees, no fruits,

no flowers, no leaves, no birds..

Outside silvery grey shafts reveal

a familiar landscape stripped of pretence...

Behind closed doors, glowing amber fires shed

light upon the real...

Like a woman who has found her authenticity.

November's beauty radiates from within....

( Taken with kindness from simple Abundance)

~ To day I have a small confession!

so pull up close and I will tell.

~ Shhh don't tell a soul, but today is a pyjama day for me!
There I have said it....

Hehe.

I have been to our capital with Miss Olivia!

We have walked and talked , laughed and smiled and seen all the bright, lights of the city!

~ Today I have those legs and those feet that tell the whole story...

 VERY SORE!

While I was away November crept in through the back door silently and made her

presence known to us....

~ I have spoken before on here, that,

 November is my least favourite month....

A month of sad memories...
We all have these, I know....

.

~ But I will greet her with my biggest smile...

and appreciate the beauty that she can radiate...

Cosy fire sides and of course days of wearing

your pyjamas with a roaring fire and a kittie or four on your knee.
Bliss...

London.
The shops of course were pretty wonderful!
and I had the biggest LOVE for these two...

Ooh la la...
You could fill your boots up with delights from this one below!
~ but you would need lots and lots of pennies...

Ahhhhh!

 We were in London really to view the universities for Olivia!
Her heart is set on London Central St Martins!
Gosh she will have to be incredibly lucky...
to receive a place...
I believe they only take twenty students, each year!
from the hundreds that apply!
Oh my!
Ever the optimist.
~ Her wish has been placed in the wish box, to grow and grow....

Fingers and toes are crossed tightly!

What will be, will be...

~ Back to earth once more!

~ although London has it's very dazzling shops!

Happiness just cannot be bought, I believe.

And some of the nicest gifts, I have received just now have come along magically

through being on here...

(Look closely they seem to flutter)...

She is making her self very much at home....
until Santa Claus collects her, as sadly she is not mine to keep!
Sad but true!
( Gifts above from Bumble Bee)
I didn't spend a penny in the beautiful gift shops in London!
I have chosen to buy locally and hand made wherever possibly!
Much more fun!
~ and creative....
" but you all know this already"....
We are much the same on here........
