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. 

All About Home Link Party #76

Hi Friends, welcome to the All About Home Link Party.

We hope you're having a great January.

We so appreciate you taking the time to come by 

and join in on the fun and inspiration of the Winter Season! 

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.

Planners, Calendars and Journals: Starting a Daily Prayer Journal

Hi Friends, How's the first week of the New Year going? Could we say any week of year 2021 might be more hopeful than 2020? I've noticed that there aren't many "Word for the Year" posts in blogland like we've seen in past years. Not many posts on resolutions either or many posts on plans for this new year. I think we all feel like we've been kicked in the proverbial pants by 2020 and are a little apprehensive about making huge plans (or even small ones) for awhile.

A Look at Life in 2020

At the end of the calendar year, I'm like most bloggers and I like to do a recap of the year through the lens of my camera and the posts which document what I've been up to these last 12 months. So here's a few popular posts, a few thoughts, and maybe even some optimism for the year 2021.

Christmas Home Tour 2020

Hello Everyone,

 Hope you had a Merry Christmas!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas; unwrapping gifts, indulging in all sorts of mouthwatering goodies, enjoying the company of our loved ones, taking a walk/nap... It was quiet here, just the two of us, be we had a very nice day and stayed in as it was in the 20's. I'm a little late with a Christmas Home Tour, but I like to keep a visual diary of our home during the Christmas Season for myself and the blog. I'll be short on words, but I wanted to record the decor and essence of the Christmas Holiday Season, 2020.

More Christmas Fun in the Garden Room

Yikes, I think it's Christmas Eve!!!

I just have a few more pics from the Garden Room

that I wanted to share of the Baker's Rack and a bit

of the church pew and my antique horsey.

Little Houses on the Sideboard and Cookbook Cupboard

So, now it's Christmas week and I still have a few spots around the house to share. I've decided I'm going to have to start a few Christmas posts before Thanksgiving, because the Christmas season is just not long enough! I'll just blame it on more fun spots to decorate.

Celebrating Advent in the Entry

It's easy to let the fun and busy-ness of the Holidays to take over, and before we know it the Santas and Snowmen and Elves have decorated our homes and heads at Christmas. I know I love to decorate every room, and sometimes I need a spot that I can focus on for the real meaning of Christmas. So when Amber from Follow the Yellow Brick Home invited us to a Hop that celebrates Advent I knew I would love to participate. Thankyou Amber! If you're coming from Marty at A Stroll Thru Life, Hello, I'm so glad you came by.

Woodsy Christmas Mantel in the Hearth Room

I love a cozy, vintage, "woodsy" look in decor, and Christmas seems as good a time as any to make that happen. I'm a person who loves to snuggle up by the fire with a hot cup of something and relax. Lots of blankets and pillows, cushy furniture; basically a place where you feel comfortable putting your feet up and watching a movie or reading a book... not to mention finding a cat crawl up in your lap to enjoy it all with you.

Christmas Plaid in the Garden Room

Hey Everyone, I'm sharing part of the Garden Room today,

and will probably need another post to cover it all.

What can I say... it's a big room and I have lots of junk  vintage goodies.

A Scottish Christmas in the Holiday Cupboard

Hi Friends, it's always fun when it's time to share the Holiday Cupboard! Whatever the season, I look forward to creating a new display filled with vintage goodness and a bit of a theme going on. This Christmas it has a dotting of little ceramic white houses along with some of my vintage Tartan Scottish Biscuit and candy tins.
