A Most Spectacular Metamorphosis

I am so excited about a very spectacular metamorphosis. A big thanks to Susan at Between Naps on the Porch who hosts this event so faithfully!


I'm also joining Susan at Southern Daydreamer for her wonderful Outdoor Wednesday.


This is NOT the spectacular metamorphosis, but I do like this pretty Christmas tablecloth that my mother-in-law passed on to me.


Even better with a centerpiece! Our nandina were loaded with berries this year!


This is NOT the spectacular metamorphosis...just a tea set.....




A teaset dressed up for Christmas!




Here it comes! As we were leaving my daughter's house the day after Christmas, we shouted, "Look out the window!" Our grandie is looking at that gorgeous sky through the window. (BTW Daughter took these photos : )




This is what we saw!!!!!!!


And then it became this!!!!!



"The heavens declare the glory of God, the skies proclaim the work of His hands. Psalm 19:1

God's beautiful sky metamorphosis! Wow! Linda

I love your vintage christmas tablecloth. It is beautiful. I also love the way you sparkled up your teaset.

Kendra @ Domestic Princess in Training said...

Too funny! It does look a lot alike, same small cloud puffs. I think I took my pic sometime around Christmas too so it just may be. I just love a good sunset it gets me every time. The pictures your daughter took are beautiful.
