I'm Mad for Plaid in the Sunroom

Ahhhh, magazine inspiration.
 Here are a few magazine photos
that have given me some ideas
for my winter sunroom.


Toile and tartan plaid, what a great
combination...
and love that green wicker.

Americana and the fresh scent of greens.

Plaid throws and twig furniture,

Pillows, baskets, suitcases, and thermoses.

Great for fall into winter

Even as a mailbox or Christmas card holder.

Cozy and comfortable, warm and inviting.

These are just a few of the elements
 that have inspired my sunroom this winter.






Quilts and blankets to cuddle in...



And a lantern for a warm winter glow.



My picnic tin and the table my Daddy built for me.




Transferware and toile speak the same language to me.

Now, let's pour a cup of Theresa's spiced tea...




While the sun streams in.



Cozy vintage wool throws...



can keep you comfy and warm...




While you're inspired for some bird watching.



More Shiny Brites in boxes...



and vintage lights for stringing.





An old birdcage and paperwhites...




With a basket full of plaid.



White stoneware pitcher with holly from the yard...



And a lunchbox, a cooler, and vintage thermoses.



Here are some labels on the tartan throws.



If it's not Scottish...
(said with an accent)



Well, then it must be Faribo from Minnesoooota...




Or Pendleton, from Oregon!

Have a great weekend...
stay cozy and warm!

The Little Drummer Boy Video

I just saw this on the NBC Nightly News and went to You Tube to watch the new video that Bob Dylan did for his new Christmas Album. Yes, you heard me right, Bob Dylan and Christmas.

has always been one of my favorites.
 You will love the art and animation
 in this beautiful song.



This video is really is wonderful!

I'm really excited about Christmas!
