Simple Serenity of Heavenly Harmony




Tallinn's Christmas Market, Estonia

Tallinn is the oldest capital city in Northern Europe, on the shore of the Gulf of Finland of the Baltic Sea and has one of the best preserved medieval town centres in the world. Due to the strategic location by the sea, its medieval port became a significant trade hub, especially in the 14–16th centuries, when Tallinn grew in importance as the northernmost member city of the Hanseatic League. In 2022, Tallinn was listed among the top-10 "medium-sized European cities of the future". The Brotherhood of the Black Heads fraternity erected a Christmas tree in Tallinn’s town hall square for the first time in 1441. This is the world’s oldest recorded Christmas tree in a public urban space.


Baking is a Blessing

Winter forest angel

Winter knits her forest with frost
As the wind chimes
of dreams once lost.

Baking is a Blessing



Medovik, Russian layered honey-cake

Yes it is.

Though I will start the new year regretting my lack of will power. 

Between my church family, my family, and my neighborhood family, my kitchen is overstocked with baked goods.

Most are amazing products of recipes past down for many generations and from many lands.

Another wonderful thing to look forward to during Christmas.

The central railway station of Helsinki, Finland, was designed in 1904 by architect Eliel Saarinen in the Finnish Art Nouveau/National Romantic style. The building was finished (pun intended) in 1919.
