It’s the sight through a window on a wintry garden on a wintry afternoon, just about when night falls, for night falls early in winter. It’s a longing, like the song of memories heard from a distant room, faintly, raising and falling. So very nostalgic.
I love to place candles in the windows at the castle during the winter months, and light them at dusk. I use electric ones so to be able also to light some in the rooms that are closed for the winter season. Plus Pfupf, the kitten, he’s the most careless thing I’ve ever seen.
What moment of the day evokes most nostalgia for you?
*This is Les Poissonchats Wondrous Advent Calendar! Advent calendars are a big tradition where I come from: every day until Christmas Day you prepare a small gift for a loved one, fourandtwenty little surprises. Advent calendars come in beautifully old fashioned prints on cardboard, extra glitter and glory, and each day there’s a little perforated window waiting for you be opened. Others are more elaborate, pretty baskets filled with twenty four numbered parcels, red velvet ribbons and sprigs of fir. The one I’m making for you this season is a different one altogether, it comes in digital form. Unless specially marked, all content is hand-stitched by myself, lovingly compiled and written for your amusement.
