without having a good camera.

art studio table (Kettler Woodworks bowl from Vermont) the dinosaur is always there, so i’m not making an evolution statement, he holds my toothpicks for art projects. 

Kitchen table…somebody has been stealing my (gelt)gold!found this bowl in an antique store, the snow ‘ball’ is from my mom, as are the Love & Courage women

do NOT spin that dreidel, it is that song. silver bear to match, white dog who ripped half my heart out when he passed, a flower vase for a photographer, i was given about five years ago

our collections of dreidels, some are the cheap plastic ones–those i’m changing!

i have four ‘crystal’ bear ornaments, they are plastic 😦 still cool though. blue glass dreidels & three blue moons from Launie, in Vermont. i have Father Christmas for my Christmas celebrating students. this is the window in the art studio.

I tried to make things look very calm & happy. I have decorated spots everywhere without the overwhelming & crowding feeling holidays can be. that is the way i like it. This weekend, i’m going to wrap gifts & get all the Hanukkah Menorah’s out, put the candles in them…to torment my children.

The sun needs a bit of help before it wins over the moon (Winter Solstice)

So light up your nights, no matter your faith & be happy. ~amy
