Sleigh Bells Ring!



Oh for a ride in a one horse open sleigh!  So far, eleven days before Christmas,  here in northern Wisconsin we aren't seeing sleigh rides, snowmen or snowball fights!  In fact it's pouring down rain as I write this post!  Never have I experienced a winter quite like this!  Our lawns are still green for pete's sake!!   Sooooooo... what's a girl to do but go on Pinterest and find pretty pictures of horses and snow and those sleigh bells a ring jing jingling their happy music to provide a little Christmas spirit!









What a NORMAL winter would look like in Wisconsin! 




Sometimes it's what we don't have and long for that inspires us! 
I've been hookin' a little....
on a new design that's been playin' around in my head for a time.

So I must go turn on the Christmas tunes and finish this up... and oh, the rain has turned into a wintry mix now...
Let those Sleigh Bells Ring!!

    Hi Kathy - yep, 57 degrees in southeast Wisconsin today. My husband even went golfing on Saturday! Great for driving and heating bills, but I know the northern part of the state's economy is suffering because of this warm stretch. I loved the sleigh picture - hopefully by Christmas! Jane

    We are having the same weather here and no snow is predicted for December at all!
    Feels very strange.
    Love your pictures.

    I love pinterest, but spend too much time on it, if I go there.
    rain here this am, dried and much cold headed here this weekend.

    so pretty! We haven't had any snow yet either and it is very warm. I am enjoying the warm as I know snow will come soon enough.

    I'd say the Persian rug should be fine. From what I've seen in various magazines - Better Homes & Gardens, etc - Persian rugs seem to show up everywhere.
