JOYS OF THE SEASON.....

CANDLES WRAPPED IN TORN PAGES......

BIRDS UNDER GLASS.....

OLD SILVER & THE SMELL OF CEDAR...SIMPLE JOYS OF THE SEASON....

Everything must come to end.......

On a recent & rare trip up to the attic John found this old grate....covered with old newspapers and years of dust.Now its on our kitchen counter,he assures me there are no more treasures in this house.....but he has told me that before !! Thanks for stopping in, Chrissy

Something old,something new.....

White dishes and old lace....a set of vintage salt & pepper shakers...on a tiny shelf made from an old board off our roof....nothing fancy or expensive,but pretty none the less......going to be a bright and sunny Monday here,great way to start the week! Till next time,all the best~Chrissy~

Christmas bling....

A tiny collection of things I love.....the salt & pepper shakers are from Ireland,they are so pretty! A wee bird,some old silver and of course some cedar....can't believe how close Christmas is,where does the time go??? Have a lovely day my friends & thank you for coming by ~Chrissy~

The magic of winter...

Love the warmth of winter decor,the flicker of a candle and some greenery....its not a new look but it is one of my favorites!A heartfelt thank you for your response to my bathroom....so many kind words.... means the world to me!! All the best~Chrissy~

Former Glory...

For twenty years now our little bathroom has been the "forgotten" room....after some heavy rain and water damage the time had come to give the old gal a much needed face lift.One hard working husband,new floor,nantucket style wall treatment,baseboards(for the first time).....soft white and a pale shade of grey on the walls.....I could not be happier with it,hope you like it too,thanks so much for coming by ~Chrissy~

Season of change....

A tray was the perfect home for some tiny treasures...candle light,a bit of cedar & a few torn pages....just a hint of the changing season....oh so much to look forward to!!! Thanks for coming by love to hear from you ~Chrissy~
