Advent calendar 2012

Today’s picture shows you yesterday’s sky over Zurich: An explosion of colors under a sky turning dark, with a bright sun sinking into the horizon. A promise of a bright and colorful tomorrow. It is the last day of my advent calendar and I wish you and your beloved ones merry holidays and a peaceful […]

Fragrant greetings and a lovely Sunday to you, where ever you are. Today is the second day in my advent calendar and I thank you for stopping by on my blog. My childhood memories for this time of the year: Advent always came with specials that I would not get throughout the year. Special cookies […]
