Decking the Halls… The Facade at Nightfall {Christmas 2013} & Give Away

 

Thanks for your comments on my facade yesterday. I really appreciate your compliments.

Today, I’d like to share with you the facade but at nightfall. The lights are all set on timers, so each comes on at around 5:00 PM. I adore the way the lights look as the sun sets for the evening. My neighbors must think that you could see the place from space. LOL!

Enjoy how the home looks at nightfall.

GIVE AWAY: DECEMBER

I have also been contacted by the owner of Fleur de Light Candle Co. of New Orleans to contribute a “gift” for my next give away. I have loved this company’s candles for a while, so I am stoked to share one with you.

I am giving away one See the Light, Feed the Hungry candle in the Evergreen scent, a favorite winter fragrance of refreshing pine and fir balsam with undertones of fresh cut wood create a scent that is reminiscent of a just-cut pine forest. One dollar from each candle sold goes directly to the Second Harvest Food Bank, providing a meal for four.The candle is housed in the most beautiful red mercury glass container and looks great with seasonal decor. The smell is of evergreen trees in a forest and captivates the holiday spirit.
