White Wednesday

When the weather here in Northern Illinois starts turning colder...



I start thinking about using my candles..



All in shades of white, cream, and yellow...



What does the change to colder weather make you think of????

  1. Your photos are beautiful, Joan. Winter makes me think of staying warm and finding simple pleasures indoors. I am not much of an 'outdoors person'.

    I always think of walking through crunchy snow, warm socks, the smell of wood burning fireplaces,soups and chili and warm quilts.

  13. Nothing like candlelight to set a mood, and if it smells good, then all the better. Cold weather?...warm socks and jammies, a fire, and a good movie, oh yes, and cuddling with my sweetie.

  17. Hi Joan! Love those estate sale finds -- will you have them at Grayslake? The cold weather makes me think about candles, too, and soup, chili, stew -- anything like that! xo

  18. Lovely pictures. It's not the cold weather but the earlier darkness that has the candles lit on the dinner table! (It's hard to dine by candlelight when the sun is blazing outside!)

    To me, cold weather means a fire in the fireplace and the eiderdowns on the beds!

  19. I love the close-up angles you snapped!
    Cold weather makes me think of tea, a fire, a rocking chair and a good book.
