Holiday Cheer

Happy holidays!

It's really starting to feel like Christmas around here:). Though I couldn't get a decent photo of our tree, here are a few photos of our home, dressed for the holidays. 

I don't go overboard with Christmas decorations, but having a few splashes of red and dashes of glitter here and there really makes me happy.

(plus, with the 24/7 Christmas music that started in late October, we really don't need to go too crazy with the decorations, do we? It already feels like we have elves in the house:))

I do want to add some greenery to the railing in our living room (above). I'll post some photos of the tree as soon as I can get some decent photos of it, as I have some very special ornaments that I'd like to share with you:).

And this is the best snapshot I was able to take of our 2011 Christmas card. This photo was taken while we were at Cape Cod in September. I liked it so much that I decided to use it as our holiday card:).  I also fell in love with the vintage-y floral card design that I found on Shutterfly.

This weekend we're going to a local tree lighting and doing some last-minute outdoor prep for the winter. It's finally starting to feel like winter around here.... we may have a white Christmas after all... :). You?

Enjoy the weekend:)

Happy March!

We're home from Vermont. We had such a lovely, quiet and relaxing weekend up north, though it is always nice to be back home. I will be uploading some photos of picturesque Vermont soon but I couldn't resist posting about springtime, as we've finally made it through February!! I don't know about you, but to me it seemed as though this February was never going to end. I realize that we're not quite through with winter yet, but hopefully the worst is behind us.

With March comes spring cleaning, re-organization, fresh blooms, indoor seed growing, sunnier skies, pastels, slightly warmer and longer days, lighter moods. Life seems to slowly start to wake up again. I've already rearranged my office, pulled my silver tea set from the basement to clean, and loaded the house with fresh flowers. It feels like we've waited forever, but soon we'll be able to open the windows and let the fresh air fill the house:).

~Happy March to you all~
