Nothing like a little after Christmas snow to raise your hopes for a snow day! Alas, to the great disappointed of the children on the block it snowed, but on a Saturday. It did give us time to stay in and “de-Christmas” and put our household back in order after a busy and exciting holiday season.
I like to take the mantel decor to a more simple display, keeping some of the holiday greenery and berries.

The primitive trees on building blocks are some of my favorites and I am glad to keep them around a bit longer.
A few bottles with feathers completes the winter look.


The Princess enjoyed the snow but seems to be dreaming of warm summer boating adventures. She will be disappointed to learn that a boat is not in our future.
