Morning Cup of Joe@The Cottage Market

The kitchen seems to be the most popular place in the house, Christmas or not. It needs to be cozy, I hope I succeeded. During the holidays it is the backdrop to cookie baking, gift wrapping, advent devotions, gingerbread house making, pie creations and Christmas song marathons. We would probably sit in the kitchen if you came to call. Enjoy this virtual tour!

It was one of those holiday weeks, one where you realize you haven’t been still in days. Holiday fun is great and I look forward to it every year, but I still need my quiet Christmas time. One reason I decorate our master bedroom is the opportunity to relax among some understated beauty…well, also in the past it kept those truly breakable items away from a toddling Princess. I love to see my vintage Santas and mercury glass antique ornaments each morning. Add some greenery and it is all set!

We have been getting in the Christmas mood this week, probably because we spent so much time digging through boxes and rediscovering the ornaments that we find most beloved. Does anyone else forget what they tucked away after Christmas? I can feel really overwhelmed by the large Rubbermaid bins stacked so neatly, but somehow, someway things always just fall into place and new items seem to blend in with the old seamlessly. After Christmas I always make the effort to prune back our decor before packing it up but I never seem to have the heart to banish things. Sigh, maybe this year. Enjoy my living room and beautiful tree picked out personally by the Princess.
