Inspired by Jeanne d'arc.......

Did not take me long to do the mantle....

got all the inspiration I needed from my Jeanne d'arc Christmas book.....

page after page of beautiful photos that warm the heart.....

just like the wonderful , kindhearted notes you leave me......thanks from the bottom of my heart!!! x0x0

Blissful simplicity.......

An understated,natural Christmas........

means you can start early....

and add touches to every room in the house......

without spending anything at all & you can enjoy it longer.....

no glitz no glam here......and I wouldn't have it any other way.

Have a lovely day.....think I am going to go do a Christmas mantle.....you'll be sick of me in no time......x0x0

Paperwhites and cedar....

I can't help myself.......

I love Christmas sooooooooooo much.....

so while I wait for my paperwhites to bloom...

I thought a bit of cedar would look pretty...

tucked in here and there.....

and everywhere!!!! Thank you for coming by....hope everyone has a wonerful week! ~Chrissy~

And so it goes....

The trees are all but bare.....the air is crisp and fresh...

another season is upon us....wishing you a beautiful November.......xoxo

Bits and pieces...

Farm ladders and french tea towels...

harvest table vignette...crisp white napkins & warm candle light...

and a bit of framed burlap.....just a few changes I made on the weekend.....cause its fun...don't you think? x0x0

The Garden Bench....

An old garden bench brings new life to the dining room....

so does an antique ironing board turned into a shelf.....it was in our basement....

lots of soft french pillows and some re-arranging of furniture .....and in three hours I once again love my dining room....

without spending a cent!! Thanks for coming to see my latest attempt at keeping this old house fresh,your an amazing lot of ladies!!! x0x0

Is it possible...

Can I take my least favorite(but well used)rarely posted room and turn into something pretty...can I do it quickly and without spending...dare I say...ANY MONEY..ahhhhhh...am I mad?!?!? Well I am going to try it by golly....if it works I will be back on Thursday morning to show you....till then ! Chrissy
