Our Christmas *hOmE*….Part 1

I just finished an EPIC post on our home for a Holiday

Home Tour I am participating in on Wednesday so I am 

short on words but had many photos so thought I would

share some of our family room/dining room today…..

Plus, I can't miss out on participating in the Nester's holiday

link-up, right?  

I feel like I have so much blog content right now - 

the computer crash of last week was not timed well

{are they ever?}…..but I will devote a future post

to my new dining table pictured above.  My dear dad

made it for me for Christmas!  It is special and I love it.

Details to come….'cause I know you are all going to 

want to get your dad to make you one too.

This is a favorite spot in my house - made all the better

by our natural Christmas tree, new gingham cushion and 

handmade table - enough said.

My living room is festooned {don't you love that word?} with

these mini-cypress trees from my Safeway grocery store -

the Ikea pots make them classier, right?

I am loving this new Pottery Barn pillow cover - go get

yourself one, they are on sale RIGHT NOW!

Chalk pens - they aren't just for chalkboards, you know!

My busy mantle…..

More new table love….

 Did anyone else see the cute monogram letters for

stockings at Target?  I think they are the perfect addition

to our grain sack stockings!

NINE days till Christmas people!  Ackkkkkkkk!
