Happy and Merry Christmas!!!

Like Brigadoon…

Christmas Town magically appears…

In Queenie’s Kingdom of…

Light hearted fancy and…

Suspended disbelief

Even the Christmas cactus is in full regalia this year!

And what to my wondering eyes did appear?

Father Christmas Bear!

Spreading his magical charm…

Throughout the Kingdom

With joy and warm Arizona snow



From all of us in the Kingdom,

We wish you the Happiest and Merriest of Christmas!

Until next time,

Have a great day!

Christmas in July

The Queenie Mother's quilt is all quilted up...

With each little Christmas jewel box framed...

And accentuated...

With echo stitching.

The outer edges bound in anchoring black...

And finished up in fine...

Fine...

Christmas in July form!

Until next time...
Have a great day!

A Very Minnie Christmas

Merry Christmas All!!! 

Minnie Delicious here reporting to you this fine Christmas day from my new dog-dog bed at Hermosa Castillo

Yep, that’s right! Me and my sister, Callie got new beds for Christmas. We are such happy K9s!!! 

Shall I take you on a tour of Hermosa Castillo Christmas cheer?

 

OK! Here we go…

 

First up our tree,

 

Full of individual cherished ornaments

 

Made special for Queenie by the Queenie Mother.

 

Next up the wee Christmas village the magically appears each year about this time kind of like Brigadoon but covered in warm Arizona snow. 

Onward we travel to the family/great room where the magic gateway for Santa sits in front of the fireplace.

 

An extra luminous treat this year is the wee Christmas tree perched high atop the no touchy shelf where even I can’t reach my long nosey nose to smell!

 

And pretty golden jingle bells,

 

Ascend the stairs to the upper reaches of Hermosa Castillo.

 

From Me and my sister Callie and my Mama and my Papa...

We wish you the

Merriest and Happiest Christmas Day!!!

Until next time…

Furry love and doggie kisses!!!

Always, Minnie Delicious

A Little Christmas Cheer

 It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas here at Hermosa Castile.Queenie’s been a bit haggled this month recovering from surgery but, we were able to muster a wee flurry of elfin magic this year…

The tree now stands vigil in the front window.

Trinity lights and snowflakes are all a-glow.

And Christmas wreaths merrily light our studio windows.

Festive holiday cheer also abounds within our Hermosa Castile which (fingers crossed) Queenie hopes to share a few snaps of before the end of the year.

This evening is the winter solstice,

the longest night of the year.

Let us all remember to keep the light of love

shining brightly within our hearts.

A Blessed Yule to All!

Until Next Time…

Have a great day!
