January is moving right along so I thought it's time for a post. I have been trying to decorate a few corners since putting away Christmas decorations. Two antiquing finds have helped a little bit. The hatbox is storing leftover ribbon, flower corsages, and other bits and pieces for gift wrapping. The plant stand is sturdy and handy for my coffee cup.
With each new year I consider stopping my blog posts. But I find myself back at the keyboard sharing tidbits of life and photos that save memories. I have put away the Christmas decorations for 2025, but thoughts of that special time linger.
The house is very peaceful today. Tomorrow there will be others occupying our space. Our children are planning and doing the holiday meal. We get to enjoy Christmas Eve without the stress of food preparations for a large group. A few more snippets of home at Christmastime.
With Texas family here Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday the days before Christmas have really flown by. We squeezed in Starbucks, Abandoned Antiques, and Five Below on Friday afternoon. Saturday was a pizza party and Dirty Santa fun time.
Placing bits of Christmas decor here and there around the house is very satisfying to me. It probably drives my husband crazy.
