 Carl Larsson 'Now is it Christmas Again' 1907 

 “Nu är det jul igen” 

(Now it is Christmas time again) 

This is an old Scandinavian Christmas song. 

It is often sung while dancing around the Christmas tree. 

 The painting shows the interior of Carl Larsson's home in Sweden at Christmas time. 

 The huge oil painted triptych is held at the Helsingborgs Museum.

Among family members in colorful costumes he has placed 

the virgin Mary and baby Jesus in front of the cupboard in the center.

Elegantly Simple Christmas Decor

I'm not exactly sure what this is; a changing room for a pool or a gatehouse? The double wreaths are perfect, aren't they? via

Carl Larsson "Christmas Eve"

Carl Larsson watercolor 1904-1906 in the Nationalmuseum, Sweden. I adore seeing his family gatherings. Isn't this Christmas Eve buffet spectacular?

All I Want For Christmas is:

♡I love this, don't you? Truer words were never written. My wants and needs have all been met and I get more joy from giving things away than for getting anything.♡

 

Amazing Snowscape

Isn't that yellow sky the perfect backdrop for this snowscape?

Four More Unknown Drawings by Beatrix Potter Discovered While Cleaning

I never discover anything while cleaning but dust and more dust! This bedroom is at Medford Hall, the home of her cousins the Hyde Parkers. All the relatives' homes I've seen are stately mansions and they all should have a sign out front saying "Beatrix Potter Slept Here"

I love here interior renderings and you can see all four here: https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-suffolk-36716973

 
One picture was discovered by Lady Hyde Parker, who lives at Melford Hall with her husband, Sir Richard, where Potter took regular holidays between 1899 and 1916. The article contains a beautiful photo of Medford Hall.

Genius Idea for A Pot Filler

I love this idea for a pot filler over an expresso machine tucked away in a cupboard. I never could understand them over a range because you still have to pick up the pot to empty it. This is a terrific idea, isn't it? Photo found in a wonderful before and after kitchen remodel.

Enjoy all the wonderful photos and have a good week. xo
