More of our Christmas Kitchen
Hope you are having fun decorating your home. I am
finding decorations that I forgot that I
had....but having fun setting up our house.
Our kitchen only looks this tidy when I am taking pictures!
Sure wish I could figure out how to keep it tidy all
the time.
I think it has something to do with my 'family'
and my disorganization! :)
A tea set from my grandma :)
Love it all polished up and shiny.

Christmas in the Kitchen
As you can see my kitchen is extremely
dark. We have grown to love the dark
wood of the cupboards but I try to add as much light
and sparkle as I can just to lighten the feel of the space.
Haha here's my old yellow kitchen.. ;)
Its a fun kitchen to work in, and even more fun to decorate.
Greenery, bows, balls, even the tinsel from last year..lol
Even this sweet bird doesn't get spared.

The House In the Roses
Let it Snow
I think I start to decorate earlier and earlier
each year. With all the gorgeous blogs out there I love
to linger over, I get so much inspiration! By the
time the boxes come up from the basement I
am just about bursting with ideas of what I
would like to try.
This is a terra cotta pot that I repainted
with chalkboard paint, it always get a seasonal message.
The heart on the mirror was in a package of 4 and
they were about $3.00 from V.V.s !!! Just a good clean
and a satin ribbon .
And more paper whites. :) ...I don't think that they will last
through Christmas, I might need some ideas to fill
there spots. :/

Our Paper White Mantle
I think that this is the first time that I have actually been really happy
with our mantle. My husband ...ok me too..loves to watch
TV...so it sits center stage in our living room.

I seem to be using a lot more white this year, and yes I know I am really last year with the paper whites but....I love them! Super easy and soooo pretty...and cheap! Perfect. 
I thought they would take about 4 weeks before they bloomed.
I planted them Nov. 11th and they are starting to bloom already! So
about 2 maybe 3 weeks! WOW!
They seem to work well with my large candle holders.
Ok so maybe the TV is an eyesore still but this is our home and
we really live in it so out comes the ugly truth! hahah!
A heart that is nestled in the greenery.
Happy decorating!

Our Witches Cottage
Over the years, like every other season, I have slowly been
adding to my Halloween decorations and without even thinking
about it I usually buy or make something geared to the witch theme...:/
Not something ...until recently..that I have done deliberately.
I think she is trying too hard to be nice! hahaha
Sitting at the front entrance waiting for trick or treaters.
This was a frame I bought a long time ago and finally have a
use for it...holds a super good spell.
and a spider or two.
This is in our dining area, you know, the regular stuff..
spell book, spiders, eyeballs, rats ...
My daughter thought this should be the "sorting hat"
I would have to agree.
Our newest pet! He's pretty tattered but he's cute.
I have found this beautiful source of inspiration!
and I am linking up for her Inspiration Friday
she has beautiful stuff and so do her guests!
Hope you enjoyed the pictures of our witches cottage,
and have a super day!

Working on Our Backyard
We bought our house a year ago, and everyday ...everyday I
have missed our yard that we had in Summerland. It was lush
and private..so private I could sit in my pjs blog surfing all day and no one
would ever be the wiser....maybe a little lazy but really inspirational I loved those
days. There were large mature trees, fruit trees and a huge
hedge that went all across the back. Well, our home here is a new
build so there was no garden, no grass ,trees or anything...on the up
side we got to do whatever we wanted (with in a budget) and make it ours.
This summer my husband and I, our daughters, friends and willing victims
got busy with us...thank-you sooo much ...we couldn't have done
it with out everyones help.
got busy with us...thank-you sooo much ...we couldn't have done
it with out everyones help.
We knew that we had to plant a large tree in front
of the deck off the back of the house. Hopefully in a few years
it will give us shade and privacy.
We actually had to build a gabien wall along that far fence you
see in this picture and raise the level of soil up about
3 feet. These fence panels were from Rona on sale and
my daughter and I stained them tudor. Then we rolled
out a ton of sod and a few plants were planted.
Here are a few fall pictures..
Have a super day
