Snow, Ice, and More Snow

Yep that's what winter is like here in Ontario - sometime you can mix in sleet, hail, rain, and even just plain slush and mud when the snow melts.  I like to just go with what nature is throwing at me for my decorating inspiration.  So when I see this in the garden -

And I'm wearing these -

I know it is time for some winter touches to the front porch.  I finally got around to jazzing up the teeny-tiny skates I bought at the thrift store.

Aren't those the cutest little skates, and the cutest little pom-poms.  The pom-poms were tied around our Christmas crackers this year and were just what I was looking for to add that snowball touch.  Now our front porch looks decorated for the season.
