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.

(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.

Vintage Greetings from the Sitting Room
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.

My first love is Vintage,
so when I saw this oh-so-creative
stacked box and basket Christmas Tree I totally fell in love.
Having the little Evergreen perched up there,
made it over-the-top fun!

I thought I'd share a few more pics from our Home this Christmas,
as I'll be sharing a complete Christmas Home Tour a bit later in the week.
These are mostly room views, which I usually don't get around to taking,
but since it's Christmas, there's a little more to see.

Christmas Dining Room
I love this time of year,
but getting dark around 4:30 can be frustrating,
especially when you're editing photos and realize
that you need just one extra shot.
I tried to make use of the lower light
and just add a little twinkle.
So, let's take a peek at the Dining Room,
all dressed up for Christmas.

Antique Rocking Horse on the Mantel...
I thought I'd share a few more pics of my antique rocking horse
on the mantel, that I showed yesterday in the house tour.
My Mom was telling me this week, how she and my dad answered an ad for it in the paper, around the time of my second or third birthday. This was before the age of the heavy plastic bouncing horsey on a big metal spring. I'm old, but I'm not as old as this horse so don't go making me older than I am! Mom said it was an antique when they found it, but it still had it's tail, mane, saddle and the red wooden stand that it set on. It had been stored in one of our barns, so between then and the time mom gave it back to me, the humidity, cold, (and mice) probably took it's toll.
