Winter home tour

Our home is de-Christmas-ized, and we’re on to winter.  I wandered around the house snapping some pictures of the winter decorations and just of our somewhat disheveled home at the start of 2011.

This candle is a little Christmas gift I got for myself:)  The white fairy was Sylvia’s until she had a fit and knocked it’s head repeatedly until it fell off.  Now its mine:)

This little chickadee decoration is from my grandma.  I like it:)

Here’s our de-Christmas-tree’d living room.

I’ve been thinking that I’d like to have lights up somehow again.  Maybe hanging them around the ceiling like in college.  I just miss the sweet glow of our Christmas tree!

Bryan got me this collage for Christmas a few years ago.  Last month I filled it with pictures from Christmases past.

My mom made this cross-stitch, and it was hanging at my grandma’s house.  Last fall, my uncle Kirk and I found it in Mum’s storage locker.  So happy to have it in my house.  It makes me happy.

  1. I loved seeing your Mom's cross stitch and the home you've made for your family! Thanks for sharing, Althea

  2. Hi Donna, I love those frames too! They are from Red Envelope. Bryan got them for me for Christmas a couple years back.

  3. Looks like the home of a very loving family! Maybe it's because I know the family! 😉
