Wishing For Pine Needles

Christmas Love #5

Traditions - both old and new...

 

48 hours to a Swedish Christmas

Lucia gowns:  made with love by mama with McCall's 4646.

Lucia crowns and sashes:  made also with love by Aunt Linnea

Santa Lucia song:  downloaded from ITunes by Daddy

Swedish smörgasbord:  prepared entirely by Mimi

Christmas singalong:  music provided by Aunt Linnea but not without many fine (and some mediocre) singers and some fabulous, up-and-coming  young dancers!

1 day until Christmas!  What are some of your traditions?

Valentine's Day, brownies, and some good music

One of my favorite new music discoveries is Laura Kleinschmidt. You can find a sample of her work here.

There is a sweet clarity to her voice and a pureness that seems to draw one in.  

I hope you all had a happy Valentine's Day and spent it with the ones you love the most!
