Chocolate reindeer
they are so pretty and so very tasty!
ivy leaves from the garden
added to some white flowers...
candlelight...
I adore candleight,
the flickering flame, the sense of peace,
do you like candles?
the smell of Christmas
fire lit, doors closed, all well in the house and just waiting for lovely husband to arrive home from work to share...
~Happy Saturday~

Hi Fiona, did you realise that your first four photos don't display properly?
yeah, your first few photos won't load. but the rest with the firelight look lovely!
Your firelight is sooo lovely and cosy looking. Have a great weekend.
Fom the chocolate reindeer to the candles a feast for the eyes. Sitting by candle light near a fire on these December evenings is bliss.
ooh I want to come to your house!! It looks so cosy, the only thing missing from our lovely little cottage is a fireplace..boo, I really wish we had one! enjoy your evening x
Z przyjemnością bym posiedziała w Twoim salonie, w tak przytulnym miejscu z ogniem z kominka i świecami. Pozdrawiam
I am receiving all the pics and they are pretty and tell your story. Happy Saturday to you! Yes, I love the smell of Christmas, fire light, candlelight, fresh flowers, chocolate and above all a husband to share it with!
Have a wonderful evening.
Oh Fiona, chocolate, flowers, candlelight, smell of Christmas, fireplace, and a husband to share it with, that is heaven.
I'm sure you had a wonderful evening.

The reindeer look yummy and that's one lucky husband :O)
What a lovely setting for a relaxing Saturday evening - but at my house those chocolate reindeer wouldn't last till morning! :-)
What a wonderfully warmm and cosy scene you had so lovingly prepared to welcome your hubby home. It looked perfect! I, too, adore the softness of glowing candles. I really need to light ours more often!
I'd LOVE to have some chocolate reindeer rightbaout now! It is 10:12pm and the perfect time for it! andrea@townandprairie
Beautiful..especially fire light
Everything looks so cozy by the fire. Your chocolate reindeer sound yummy. I LOVE candles but can't use them very often because of my husband's COPD. But I've found if I use a candle warmer the fragrance permeates throughout the house and doesn't bother him as much as a lit one does.
how gorgeous everything looks!
what a good feeling to love your home, taking care of it ...
love candlelight. it gives tranquility and space for dreams : )
Hi Fiona, you've created a lovely welcoming and warming atmosphere. I love candles but we don't light them any more as they seem to adversely affect Ced's breathing and cause him discomfort.
Hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend.

I miss our fire from when we use to live south, yours looks so inviting and I could enjoy a little drop of that red with those yummy chocolate a special place you have here my friend, hope you have a wonderful day tomorrow.
Always Wendy
Your vases of flowers are lovely. The candle lit room, the wine . . . warm and inviting . . .
Very nice Fiona . . .
Wow that's some fire, and I'm very big on fireplaces myself. Those chocolates wouldn't last too long around me though! Richard from the Amish community of Lebanon,Pa
I aodre candels and you are so lucky to have a fireplace, such a homey feeling!
Hi Fiona. I just love those last two photos. Your room looks so warm and cosy! We also have log fires in our home, and I just love the smell. Yes, I have always liked candles around the house, especially the Christmassy smelling ones that are available at the moment. Hope your weekend is going well.
I love your greenery, Fiona!
nice post! thanks for sharing... God bless you... loves soraya
How beautiful and warm and cozy your home is! I think you have set up a perfect evening!
I love candles - especially scented ones! Lovely photos of the fire - our woodburning stove is keeping us cosy, as we enjoy a glass of wine before dinner!
Just beautiful, Fiona! I hope you had a lovely night. I bet you did. :)
Lovely things to enjoy and appreciate. I'll take a warm,crackling fire and of course "chocolate" anytime. Sounds like your Holiday Season is off to a good start. Mickie :)
Hi Fiona! I love all the candles, and the fire looks so cosy and warm! The chocolate looks very tempting also! Hope you had a lovely weekend:)

Dear Fiona, I absolutely LOVE candlelight. While I am writing you this comment there are 9 candles flickering in our home an that is just half of the number I could light. I have candles all year round. The only time I do not like candles is at Easter. Egg candles are a horror for me... Btw I would love to bite into these reindeers I know they are yummy... Enjoy 2nd Advent !
Dearest Fiona,
What a lovely and beautiful post♡♡♡
My humble Japanese house doesn't look good with candles, but I LOVE them.
Hope your husband was able to relax with them when he came home♬♬♬
Blessing to you, xoxo Orchid*
Beautiful!
So love and cozy. And chocolate too!
Hello, Fiona
Your home looks very inviting. It must have been so nice for your husband to return home. I'm off to get a tree tomorrow. As for candles, I like the soft glow of them.

Wow Fiona, looks like you had a great weekend! Love the chocolate reindeer and the wine looks just heavenly.
Hope you have a great week ahead!
This is a fabulous post, Fiona! I love candles and burn about 6 or 7 every night. My husband loves to come home to a cozy home, as well... I'm so lucky to have a husband who appreciates that. Thank you for this little peep into your world. It warmed my heart.
What a wonderful welcoming home for your dear hubby. Smells, beauty, etc.!!!

I am quite jealous of your ivy!!!
And as for the wine....I would love to come share a glass with you:D
What a warm homey post. I love firelight and candlelight. Your home looks so cosy and warm.
That is the most inviting photo I have ever seen!! I can just feel the warmth of the fire!!
hugs,
Dana
I have to agree, the tastes, smells and sounds of December create such a feeling of warmth and happiness. Now, can I have a few of the chocolates?
Hi Fiona, You dropped by some time ago, and I only just discovered your comment. I thought I'd visit you too. (You commented on my post 'Do French women get fat?")
As I was looking at your photos...I realized that you must not be from America. Your home looks so warm and inviting..but it looks 'different'. I can't say just how...but it's not full of stuff from stores like ours.
I LOVE it! I looked at several of your other posts and was entranced. I was captivated by the outdoor photos of buildings with thatched roofs..I don't know what you call it. Thanks so much for sharing.
I decided to follow you as reading your posts is like getting to visit another country..without flying.
Thanks again for dropping by this summer.
