In between the busy, when the house is quiet and the day is almost over, I like to sit and just enjoy our lovely home dressed up in Christmas fineness. Sometimes it’s the simple touches that grab my heart, evergreen tucked into a vintage milk bottle or cute little gingerbread men peeking from am enamelware pot. Sometimes a little glitz makes me smile, gold capiz shell angels and shiny mercury glass trees sparkling in the firelight. Aesthetically confusing, perhaps, but it makes happy. I hope it makes you happy as well!

And what can match the perfection of a cheery gingerbread house, decorated with love!

My cherry pie was featured as What’s for Dinner at The Lazy Gastronome.

What a week! It seems like we finished the Thanksgiving turkey and were immediately smacked in the face with a handful of Christmas cheer. It always feels so daunting each year when staring down a towering stack of plastic bins that contain a season’s worth of Yuletide joy. But you open that first lid and suddenly, it all makes sense and everything finds the most perfect spot. Your house just glows and your heart just feels more Merry. I hope you find my home a true comfort during this season of busyness!

And a certain Princess gave Santa her wishes for Christmas…and most will come true!

Proud of my feature at Saturday Sparks@Pieced past-times

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas Everywhere you go

Take a look in the five and ten glistening once again

With candy canes and silver lanes aglow

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas

Toys in every store

But the prettiest sight to see, is the holly that will be

On your own front door

And a little glimpse into Christmas past… almost five years ago we met our Princess and she became ours officially!

Are you ready for the big day?

Thinking of Christmas in the past, while preparing for the Christmas of the present…enjoy the memories as I create more!

Welcome to our house, we believe in a simple, minimalist approach to holiday decor…just kidding! We believe in a cozy, interesting and and decidedly non-minimalist approach to the holidays…and I hope you enjoy it. Come inside our Foyer, hang up your coat and stay awhile.

And presenting the cutest little dove to ever grace the stage as a friendly beast…
