Every year, we girls gather to do a little crafting and sprinkle a little glitter. This year, the little girls made this craft, shared by my friend Matthew Mead here. It was the perfect craft for them to do and they turned out so cute! Mum and I worked on some glitter houses that needed some prettying up, and my sister made a shadow box, much like the ones I made here.
The next day, my mum and sister and I headed to Halifax for a fun and relaxing day doing the fun kind of Christmas shopping/browsing that doesn't include a mall or crowds.
We browsed thrift shops, specialty stores, and beautiful decorating shops like Hen House, Bellissimo, and more.
(Bellissimo)
Then we went for a delicious meal here where we shared a scrumptious ginger cake topped with fresh cream.
I am so lucky to have such wonderful women in my life and I know the importance of cherishing this special tradition with them!
Happy Christmas!
Christmas shopping in thrift stores and boutiques sounds magical! Super cute crafts too!
ReplyDeleteHow come your mom isn't wearing any glitter? After our craft day, we looked like ornaments ourselves. The girls made some sweet ornaments...wee little mice I see. Shopping in Halifax on those quaint streets...I would love to do that again some wonderful day.
ReplyDeleteHi Vee!!
ReplyDeleteI hope you are having a wonderful Christmas season and enjoying those sweet little grandchildren of yours! I always love seeing your name and picture pop up around these parts. I have been a bad blogger and blogging friend, that is for sure. Hopefully I will get the chance in the New Year to get caught up. I miss the enjoyable side of blogging and visiting blogs!
Have a wonderful Christmas!!
Linda- It looks like you had a wonderful time with your Mom and the girls. Aren't those little ornaments just the cutest? What a wonderful little shopping area, too. xo Diana
