The elephant in the living room, AKA the fireplace, has gotten its Christmas on. Here is how I began Decorating A Ginormous Fireplace and Mantel for Christmas. I still don’t know how it will be decorated for the rest of the year but at least the living room has a bit of cheer because it is basically still empty. (It’s next on my list to decorate.) My dear friend Missy made me the lovely “Peace” angel-winged ornament. How Big Is It? This fireplace and mantel is a beast I tell you! To give ... View the Post
Something More Sundays Week 3
Did you see all the Christmas house tours this week? Completely glorious! Utterly enchanting! I think I may have even worn out my “Pin It” button. But somehow it was not enough to motivate me any further in terms of decorating my own home. I needed Something More Sundays Week 3. Something More Sundays Week 3 You see truthfully, I’ve felt about as broken as this ornament. I was so excited to have a REAL tree this year. We went as a family to go select it, we set it up and the smell was ... View the Post

But it really doesn’t matter because there is still beauty in the unfinished, the undone, the imperfect. I hope you agree with me. Storybook Cottage A French Country Kitchen Let’s get this party started with the glorious ... View the Post
A $3 Advent Wreath
I almost forgot to share A $3 Advent Wreath from dollar store supplies. But I had a few readers that kindly reminded me. I found the foam circle and taper candles at the Dollar Tree store. The pine greenery came from a Christmas tree lot that was only too happy to oblige when I asked if they had any free cuttings. The pan belonged to my mom, Nadine. It really shows its age with all the fantastic crazing in the cream-colored glaze. Simply place the florist foam inside whatever vessel ... View the Post
Easy Christmas Postcards
I generally send out over 100 Christmas cards to friends and family members. It often takes up to three full days to create a newsletter, hand sign and list the addresses of the cards. This year since I was off to a late start and Christmas is just three weeks away I wanted to hit a big “EASY” button. So I made Easy Christmas Postcards. I also try to send out change of address postcards whenever we move so I decided “Why not combine the two this year?” Typing in “vintage Christmas postcards” ... View the Post
