As this Christmas season approached, I grew anxious. Our beautiful daughter just got married in early November, then it was Thanksgiving and now…WOW it’s here!

A Wintery Rustic Christmas Centerpiece
Baby it’s cold outside… We can finally say that here in Texas but I really thought it would never get here. It’s been a really warm December.

a bit of equality in my Christmas decor…

a new perspective
This is my favorite bowl. I found it when I cleaned off the top of the amoire in our den this past weekend. I find it once a year when I remove it from the safest place in the house. It sits inside an old crate, that is sitting up on it’s end so itContinue reading “a new perspective”
