Coming Home to a Cozy Nest Full of Friends

I arrived home from Ottawa to a living room full of friendly neighbours by the fireplace.  I took their picture from the loft :)
It was really wonderful to come home to such a welcome and a warm house. It was -10C on Vancouver Island and not exactly what I had expected.

OK, so I have to throw out the pumpkin on the front doorstep. On Saturday morning when I went to get the newspaper I found this note on his head " Hey, how about some punkin love? it's feckin' frigid out here" 

I got presents when I got home. These bowls were made by Debbie Paltzat at Inspired by the Sea Pottery. 

These will contain Creme Brûlée before you know it! as soon as I learn how to make them of course.
