Ruth's Christmas House 2010

I was browsing through my Christmas pictures of 2010 and discovered that I had photographed my friend Ruth's house.  It was such a wonderful surprise--like opening a present--so I asked if I could share her Christmas 2010 home and she graciously said yes.  Now, I must also tell you, she has the most wonderful blog too, so do stop by White Whimsy and be prepared to stay for a while.  She is a lover of all things white and her house reveals some treasure that I've never noticed (and I do notice quite a bit) each time I visit.  Enjoy the tour.

 

Sometimes words are just inadequate and one just needs to drink with their eyes to enjoy the moment--that's Ruth's home.  Stop by--she'll welcome you in.  Bet you can't wait to see what she has done for 2011.  I got a sneak peek yesterday....WOW!
