Christmas 2021 Home Tour/Our New Kentucky Home

-

 Merry Christmas dear friends!

I know it's late in the season, but I still wanted to share our new house all gussied up for its very first Christmas! There are a lot of pictures, so I'll keep the words to a minimum. I will be back in a day or two to share some history about some of my favorite pieces of Christmas decor.































Thank you so much for making it to end of this long post! I also want to wish you a very happy and blessed holiday.  I know the holidays are not always easy for many of us (my own  mom passed away on Christmas Day four years ago). So if you are sad or lonely this year, please know you are not alone and you are loved. I do hope you can find joy in even something small... the sunrise, a pretty bird, ice cream(!), the warmth of the sun. Look for the joy - it's there!

    Glad to see Palmer adjusted to his new home. Loved the stacked look for your fireplace and you decorated it fabulously! Also love the vintage green pieces mixed in with the Santa's in your kitchen. The long johns above your tub made me giggle too! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Jane toyou and your family! Janice

    You have a lovely home....and I like all your vignettes and Laughed outloud at the hanging longjohns in the bathroom. Love that. I remember hanging wash at my parents cottage in Waushara County, Wi at Thanksgiving, and my dad's longjohns froze....on the line outside. We would often have Thanksgiving up there for deer hunting! Hugs, I wish you lots of love and family in your new home!!! Sandi

Cold Weather Cozy

 Hi friends! It's been cold here in Kentucky and we even got a few inches of snow this morning. Winter has definitely shown up here and around the country! I actually enjoy cold weather and hunkering down in the house with warm sweaters, cozy  blankets and a steamy drink.  I have been working on a little kitchen refresh that I'm hoping to share in a few days. In the meantime, I hope you'll enjoy a few pictures of our living room fireplace area. I hope you all stay warm and have a terrific weekend! I made some homemade chicken soup this morning and it has been simmering away on the stove top - it smells so good on this blustery January day. I'm looking forward to having some for supper tonight!

Cozy Winter Favorites: Wax Melts

Hi friends! I've been thinking about the things that make my house a home and give me all the cozy feels during the cold and sometimes dreary days of winter. I also thought it might be fun to do a little series of posts about them to share with you! Today let's visit one of all time favorite ways I like to cozy up my home, not just in the winter, but year around - wax melts!  There are so many things to like about wax melts, but my number one reason I'm a fan is no open flame! No danger of fire, no dirty soot. Don't get me wrong, I love a good candle (and do use them) but yikes, they sure burn dirty and make a mess when used day after day. And of course, the danger of forgetting to extinguish them and the risk of fire.  I do like the smell - or "throw" - of a candle more than a wax melt, but the wax melts are a great alternative!   Wax melts can be very economical - only a few dollars for a pack that will last you many, many days. They are easy to find - avail

Homespun Holiday Countdown Day 5

 Hi y'all! Welcome to Day 5 of my Homespun Holiday Countdown. I am so grateful you have taken the time to stop on in to check out what I've got going today. I wanted to share a little corner of my living room. We built our ranch style, open concept home in 2021. The floor plan doesn't offer a lot of nooks and crannies, and because it's open concept, it also doesn't offer a lot of wall space. I do love quirky spaces, but that was not to be in this house. Nonetheless, I try to make most of the corners and crannies I do have! Today's corner showcases a vintage Ethan Allen secretary desk I purchased from Facebook Marketplace. I like to style it with old books about Kentucky as well my collection of vintage pocket Bibles. For Christmas, I've displayed some antique as well as some vintage inspired Christmas items. Hope you enjoy this cozy little corner! Thanks for stopping by, Join me at a link party or two:  Tuesday Turnabout ,  Karin's Kottage ,  Fluster Bus
