Merry and Bright

Like snowflakes, Christmas memories gather and dance -
Each beautiful and unique and gone too soon.

We’re off to make some memories of our own and will see you in the New Year…  Wishing you and your families a very merry and happy 2012!

Relaxed Reading

… to all of you, our lovely readers, who encourage us every week to keep adding to The Buzz.  We started on this journey of saying thank yous on the first Thursday in January and have thanked many throughout the year… but we’re saving the best for last.

Rushed Reading

So this one’s for you…  Thank you!

‘Twas Four Days Before Christmas…

Wednesday, December 21st, 2011

when all through the

birdhouse

Not a creature was stirring, not even a

tiger

The tinsel was twirled in the

topiary with care

In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there.

The birds

were roosting on the front hall buffet

while blooming

paperwhites make a bouquet

You know the rest!

Let's Dance

Ok, so the wreaths are ordered and the tree goes up this weekend and now Pantone has to come out with the 2012 Color of The Year and it’s Tangerine Tango!

Citrus Charm

We may not be ready for an all-out citrus christmas…

Tangerine Tree

but could be talked into adding a tangerine touch here and there.

Tangerine Ornament

And if all else fails, we can always bake a tangerine dessert and watch Tangerine Bear!

Beautiful Blogs

… to Stacey from Quintessence and Ridgely from Ridgely’s Radar for hosting a festive get-together (aptly named #JingleTweet) last week at the amazing showroom of Audiocom in Norwalk.

Tweet, Tweet!

Not only did this dynamic duo deck the halls with Christmas carols and It’s a Wonderful Life, they gift-wrapped 25 presents to be given away as door prizes.

Presents with Presence

Best of all, we got to hob nob with local bloggers like May December and Summer is a Verb and meet darling designers like Sam Allen!  For more on this fun event, visit our hostesses with the mostest (see links below.)

P.S.  A big thank you to our computer guy, David, who was able to get us a new computer while on vacation in Florida… Now that’s service!
