A Cozy Nightcap Sparkle: Part 39
Returning from the bakery into the hushed house, I strolled over to the cool slate hearth of the living room fireplace to wind down. Resting near a stack of dry birch logs was a tall glass hurricane lantern, housing a wide, unlit pillar candle surrounded by a scattering of faceted glass crystals. With my left hand resting poised upon my hip, I lifted my right arm and guided the base of my miniature silver microphone against one of the loose crystals. A graceful nudge rolled the glass gem smoothly into the hollow base of the lantern. It struck the curved wall with a crystalline, velvety chime that echoed softly into the quiet room. Framed by the soft mantle shadows, it felt like the most serene bedtime encore. #Mariah #Mariahcarey #Barbie @cataww234
