A Quieter Christmas



I think my last post gave rather a garish view of the city in December. Very over the top and bright. So herewith another mood... 


Walking up the steps to The High Line on an overcast afternoon...


The current cut out paper buildings in The Flat Iron Building seen yesterday on a bright sunny morning.


The very best sort of present -  handmade and monochrome.


A pear and an apple from Union Square on a nice old Spode plate


Very simple cards



a herb wreath



hellebores


twice

 

and Christmas colored greens to eat - with red tongs.



Wishing you a most peaceful and lovely Christmas
and a happy and healthy 2016

  3. I think that those very simple cards are really the most beautiful. Simple and exactly about the Christmas. Also, that wreath is beautiful, too. So natural)

  7. Dear Elizabeth, you've captured a very beautiful part of Christmas in New York here. It's not all glitter, and so much more sweet in its simplicity.

    Happy Christmas! xo
