Snow Lanterns.

The snow may have made your weekend travel plans a bit more challenging, and if you're a procrastinator like me, your back is against the wall with the holiday shopping. Seems people were out on Saturday, flurries be darned, but yesterday hunkering down won the day.

It's all good though, we get to enjoy a winter wonderland, albeit a bit wind chilly. The sun is shining, and it really is beautiful out there.

In the spirit of cool winter scenes, I thought I'd share a little scene from last night. Hopefully, to be repeated the next few nights or at least until a couple kids decide to have their way.

My good neighbors at the Nashwannuck Gallery, Marlies and her cousin, Leena, were having an equally slow day, and decided to bring a cool little Swedish tradition to our humble snowbanks.

Snow Lanterns and tiki torches.

Check it out... Better yet, swing by tonight...

Check out the secret melting techniques...





The great Macy's window-like holiday display in the Gallery window...

Don't you just love those Swedish traditions? Heja Sverige! And a big hug to Leena and Marlies, from a not-as-snowy-as-Easthampton-but-still-a-wintery-Sweden. /Linda
