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.

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.

All About Home Link Party #24

Hi Friends, so glad you came by!
So I had to check my calender to be sure, but gosh, next week will be February! We had snow and icy stuff a few days last week, but I was able to stay in and enjoy it the easy way. I'm ready for February and all Valentine's Day fun!

January Musings

Years ago I found the wonderful book of illustrations from Edith Holden entitled The Country Diary of an Edwardian Lady. And just last year our friend Jacqueline from Cabin and Cottage introduced me to the lesser known book, The Nature Notes of an Edwardian Lady which is a similar collection of watercolors and notes of the months and seasons. Both are captivating and insightful, and full of nature's beauty.

All About Home Link Party #23

Hi Friends, so glad you came by!

It's been a typical January around here, cold, wet, and cold. We haven't had a bunch of snow yet, just that miserable wind that chills you to the bone. All I want to do is sit by the fire with a hot cup of something. But I've started thinking about a little Valentine's Day fun... How about you?

January Cupboard in Candlelight

For me, January is a month for settling in for Winter. Here in the lower Midwest we do have a few beautiful warmer days during Winter, but for the most part the days are gray and cold and spitting something wet. In January I'm all about staying warm and cozy indoors. To combat the short dreary days I like to have some spaces in the house that evoke a feeling of warmth and comfort.

All About Home Link Party #22

Hi friends, we're into the middle of January and coming out of the holiday coma. After a week long fight with a viral infection, I'm finally making headway in getting the house back to "normal". Glad you're here and we hope you'll link up your current posts on decor and "All Things Home".

French Country Elements in the Dining Room

My focus on getting back in the decor groove after the Holidays has been on my Dining Room table. At the beginning of the New Year I tend to want to go with more neutral elements since I'm usually oversaturated with color from Christmas. I've been gathering inspiration for a French Country Farmhouse feel that I could use in my Dining Room without going shopping.

All About Home Link Party #21

Hello Friends, so glad you're here  

to join in at the first party of the year at
All About Home!

I hope you all are having a great first week of 2020. I have to admit I'm running way behind on getting things put back to normal here. I had a viral thing (sore throat, swollen lymph nodes) going on this last week that's just derailed me. I'm better, but still not 100%. Not a fun way to start the new year. I'm still looking at a hodge podge of decor, somewhere between Christmas and winter. Hope you're making some headway getting back in the groove!

Paperwhites, Fresh or Faux?

I've had this little obsession with Paperwhites for about 10 years now. There is just something so pristine and snowy fresh about a grouping of them. In the past I would buy around a hundred bulbs each season close to Halloween and start the planting process. That was the fun part, I've planted bulbs in everything from Santa Mugs to Antique Ironstone Tureens to the re-purposed clear glass jars that candles come in from Bath and Body Works. I love them and never get tired of them.

Vintage White Suitcases Make a Comeback...

January is the month for a fresh start and a clean slate. I always look forward to a new calendar and the possibilities that the New Year brings. No matter what the previous year has held, good or bad, I thank God for His good plans for the future, and I'm grateful that we are moving forward with a positive attitude. 

Toile pillows for the sitting area...

If you're like me this first week of January, you're wandering around the house looking for something to "change up". I loved my Red Tartan Plaids in the sitting area for Christmas, and I wasn't even tired of looking at them, but at the same time I needed to clear out the Christmas decor and make January "fresh".
