Vintage Valentine Postcard Vignette

I've had a love for antique and vintage paper goods and ephemera for many years; old post cards are a favorite. Photos, cards and personal notes, botanical specimens, book illustrations and so many other bits of odds and ends have found their way into my possession. Often old books are literally falling apart or have suffered some sort of damage to the point they cannot be kept, but let me look through them first to remove any pages of art or illustration that I can hang onto.

Vintage Valentine's Day Entry

Hi Friends, are you having a cold weekend? Wow, we are and some of our coldest weather of the year is still ahead of us. This last week or so I've been using Valentine's Day decorating to bring in a little sense of Spring. I've put away most of the evergreen stems and have concentrated on a few late winter florals that give a feeling of the warmer weather that will eventually come.

Valentine's Day in the Holiday Cupboard

Hi Friends, I cannot believe it's actually February

and in a little over a week it will be Valentine's Day...

So I wanted to do my monthly/seasonal "restyle" of the Holiday Cupboard.

I have so many little odds and ends that it's always fun

to give them all someplace to go hang out.

Winter Botanical Tabletop Garden

Hello Friends and Welcome to a very fun 

and a bit different Blog Hop

that my friend Amber from Follow the Yellow Brick Home

has put together in this very cold and dreary month of January.

Yes, you read it right, it's a Hop where we're sharing 

our "Winter" Botanical and Garden ideas.

Thanks so much Amber, for putting this all together

to share some fun ideas and inspiration for winter into spring.

Romantic Valentine Review

Hi Friends, are you doing any Valentine's Day decor at your place? Well, I'm still decorating around here and putting away a few of the Christmas holdouts, so today I thought I'd share a few pics from previous posts. This first one is from last year on the Cookbook Nook with some Valentine fun.

Deer on the Winter Baker's Rack

We may have put all the Christmas decor away, but we still want to enjoy the natural winter landscape. I've brought out some soft neutrals and pale floral pastels

to bring it all together in the January Garden Room. Deer have been a favorite theme this January and I'm sharing a few of mine out here on the Baker's Rack.

Sitting Area in the Winter Garden Room

Hello everyone, today I wanted to share the rest of my Garden Room sitting area. With windows on three sides, the sunroom always has good light, and with a separate heating and air system to itself, it stays warm and cozy in winter and cool in summer. This is such a wonderful home-y spot with my white wicker pieces, the Holiday Cupboard and Baker's Rack.

Winter Lambs in the Dining Room

Hello Everyone, 

Winter is showing up here with snow and cold temps for sure.

Not only cold temps but lots of wind that makes it chilly and shivery even indoors 

as you look out and see the little birds on the feeder trying to grab a tiny bite

before heading back to their evergreen shelters.

Cows in the January Cupboard

How do you feel about January?

Are you excited about a clean slate and look forward 

to putting together some fun fresh decor 

or does it take a while to get out of the post Holiday season blahs?

I guess I'm somewhere in the middle. 

I love the  excitement and cozy Christmas decor with lots of color and twinkle lights,

but I'm usually ready to put it all away and look forward to 

a more pared down and neutral look.

How to Use a Vintage Metal Toolbox in Decor

Cozy Winter Decor

Hi Friends, are you finished putting away your Christmas decor? I worked most of last week getting things changed up and put away, but I took my time doing a little bit every day. Yesterday I spent all day working in the garage organizing tubs and straightening up. When it's cold it's easy to just take things in a tub and haphazardly throw it out in the garage. It was time to bite the bullet and get myself busy to put it all away properly.
