A Little Dickens' Village




We are counting the days now until the winter solstice arrives and the days begin to get longer again. We are lucky to live in a mild winter climate, but nightfall comes so early.





But a small candle glow warms even the greyest morning. (I'm still passively searching for my lighted garland to lay over the mantel.)





I probably never would have gotten to unpacking the Dickens' Village this year. But it is a favorite of the children and my eager spouse who set it all up.

















And a couple of nests were added to the twiggy tree to round out the ambience.










 







I hope you are also enjoying a few quiet moments in this busy season!

Best Christmas Wishes!

Jacqueline

    I love the nests -- I have some too and they seem so right for winter, a reminder that soon enough (I hope) they will be filled with eggs!

    I suspect your garland is somewhere near all the batteries I bought for my fairy lights and in an "easy to find" place that I have yet to find!

    It's all so lovely!

    I love the Dickens Village set. I bought lots of buildings for my Mom. She never bothered to get them out at Christmas so I built a special shelving unit for her to display and enjoy them year round. She can rearrange them for different looks.
