Three things.......

Another 'three things' challenge from Kim at 'Be Still 52'

I have been watching this rose outside my kitchen window, for weeks, wondering if it would make it until Christmas.

Here it is, it has been through frost, storm, wind and one day of snow in the far north of England. 

It came inside this dark afternoon, to be photographed with a soft pink cashmere scarf that I have been wearing and one of my Handpainted, Pure Italian Wool wraps.....Santa hasn't collected this one....and I can't think why...it's my favorite! 

I had an idea about softness, crystal and the rose........

Edited on my i pad with a 'fade' filter.

A very happy and peaceful Christmas to you all......
