My Year in Pictures...

It's the time of the year, as all bloggers know, to take a look back at what we've blogged about this last year; basically to do a little recap and review of 2016. I'm a little short on projects, room reveals, and DIY's. I didn't travel the world, go to enlightening blog conferences, or have a feature in one of my favorite decorating magazines. Those are all great things, but basically that hasn't been my year in 2016.

From My Home to Yours...

...and from my heart to all of you.

Wishing you a wonderful Christmas.

Not just for a day,

but for each day of the year.

Praying that you will know that tiny baby

who was born over 2000 years ago;

that He is King of Kings and Lord of All.

That He is The One who can change your life

and bring you Peace, and Purpose, and Joy.

Thank you all, sweet friends,

sending Blessings and Love your way.

Merry Christmas!

Christmas Brunch in Tartan Plaid

A week or so ago, I had a little trial run to set a Christmas Breakfast or Brunch with my Red Transfer ware. I had been looking for Red Tartan Plaid placemats, and found these on Ebay. They were half the retail price from last year, and were brand new in the original packaging from Penneys, so I was glad to find these. I bought two sets, since when I need them, I'm usually setting a table for six.

Christmas Home Tour 2016 Part 2

Hi Everyone, 

I hope you're having a wonderful week before Christmas.

I imagine it's a busy one too!

I'm here to share Part 2 of my Christmas House Tour with you.

(It's a Chilly) Christmas on the Front Porch

Welcome to our Home for Christmas!

I think we're all having below normal temps this last week.

Actually, it's been pretty chilly around here for the last several weeks;

chilly enough to keep me from wanting to spend time outside

 fiddling with Christmas decorations and my camera.

Christmas Home Tour 2016 Part 1

Here we are Friends, the week of Christmas!

I'm excited to share my Home with you for this very special Christmas Season.

This is Part 1, as I've brought all my Christmas photos together for two posts.

Thanks so much for joining me!

Vintage Greetings from the Sitting Room

I was going through my photos today, putting together a "comprehensive" (ahem) Home Tour Post/s, when I realized I really hadn't shared much from the Kitchen Sitting Room. what? no, not much. I have a few things, really sort of random, but hey, isn't that what the weekend is for...?  So I'm going to combine a few new things from the KSA and a few items I've "Gathered" to share.

My Mirror on the Old Door is decorated for the Season,

with some greenery, Holly, and a feisty little Cardinal.

I had moved my moss covered "O" onto the vintage mirror

since the Boxwood Wreath replaced it in the Entry Area.
