What wonderful Christmas or holiday cards! The top photo was taken of the historic Armington House (circa 1868) in December of 2007, the night of the storm here in Rhode Island. In the photo that you will receive on the cards, (4x6) there is a warm sepia/golden tone to enhance the depth and bring out the details of the house. The bottom photograph was the view from the second floor of my home while looking at the top of my neighbors' house last winter The light was so striking, I'm glad that I didn't miss the moment!. Carefully packaged in rice paper tied with hemp string. A lovely present as well! Set of 6 for $15. Check out my Etsy shop for details.

Beautiful photos!
I like the rather strange, ethereal glow. It gives the house an otherworldly, fantasy quality.
What a striking abstract design in the second photo. Love it!!
Thank you Leah!!!
John, what a wonderful description. It does seems kind of staged and the photo that I have in my camera looks somewhat different than what actually prints out, even w/ some editing...but, it works...the glowy otherworldy quality! Glad that you like!!!
Both photos are amazing Amy...I like the sepia/golden tone of the house, very nicely done!
Doesn't snow have a way of looking picture perfect when it is fresh!!
Cheers
