In Praise of Plaid

Plaid is my go-to for Christmas.

I like to keep it simple, and that's what Tartan Plaid gives me.

The Tartan Plaid fabrics bring an instant festive Christmas flair.

Here are a few pics to share the Tartan Love...

Transitional Autumn Tree and a Christmas Home Tour Link Party

Last weekend  I was left to my own devices, like I am every start of deer season. I took advantage of the open garage space and decided I'd try to look through my Christmas tubs and boxes. Over the course of the Fall I've managed to combine a lot of smaller tubs into bigger more heavy duty bins, that stack easier and ultimately take up less space. But the Christmas decor situation is another story...

Out and About, a "Pre-Christmas" Tree, and the Give-Away Winner...

I had a few things I wanted to share with you today...

Hope you don't mind a little bit of everything.

Check out the oh so cute animal portraits...

with scarves!

Just a reminder...

 That the Timewashed Velvet Pumpkin

 Give-Away ends tonight!

Orphan Sampler gets a Vintage Frame

This last Spring I found this wonderful cross-stitch Sampler 

and because I still hadn't unpacked my vintage loose frames 

it landed here on my little hallway table.

Thanksgiving Sitting Area

Time for the Thanksgiving Edition 

of the Kitchen Sitting Area!

I realize that many people in Blogland may not be all that interested 

in how my Kitchen Sitting Area changes with the Holidays and Seasons.

 But since you're here, I'm hoping you can enjoy the Seasonal Fun for what it is.

Velvet Pumpkins for a "Timewashed" Give-Away

Becky and I have been wanting to do this Give Away since earlier this Fall,

so we're sharing this opportunity now, still in time 

for you to create your own wonderful 

Fall and Thanksgiving Centerpiece.
