I light three candles on the wreath, all made of holly green
For birds and beasts, both large and least,
Three candles now are seen
We await on earth the holy birth, and upon the boughs of green.
Our hopes arise with every flame, three candles now are seen!

This is a Sandy update, she sleeps like this all over the house, but especially likes to sleep on my quilts in the lounge on the back of the couch:) Such a sweet girl!

Such a lovely advent centerpiece!
And such a funny doggy!
Happy beautiful days to you sweet friend! xo
So beautiful, Linda!
So beautiful Linda!
Hi Linda,
Well I think your girl has good taste about where she sleeps and what she sleeps on. Happy third week of Advent to you. I hope your season has been festive and creative.
love and hugs,
Valarie
Oh my goodness! Third week of advent already! I don’t light candles so that method of counting has gotten away from me — and there is still so much to do!
Your dog is so adorable!
Hello! Your advent candles are lovely! and Sandy has the best place – she looks so beautiful!
Warm wishes Teje
Ah, rosemary is a good idea – my ivy on the wreath flopped!
Love the picture of the sleeping pup. What a cutie!
Your Sandy has gotten so big! I wish I’d been able to gather an armful of her as a fat, fluffy baby. And quite frankly, I wish I were as asleep right now as she is in that image. Your advent wreath treasures are lovely. I have a soft spot for cardinals. Especially at this time of year.
Looks like a beautiful way to celebrate Linda.
These are just beautiful – it’s wonderful to see such peaceful images at such a busy and commercial time of year!
