Tuesday's Tour. . .Our '2013' Holiday Home

Thursday, December 12, 2013

With Thanksgiving just a couple days away I thought that it might be fun to spread a little Christmas cheer.

I don't know about you, but seeing others Christmas décor gets me all excited to dig in and decorate!

I have just started on this years décor so I am taking you on a 'holiday tour' of our home from last year.

I absolutely love the Christmas season and the spirit that it brings!

I am so happy to have you and I hope you enjoy our Christmas home.

I wish you ‘Plaid Tidings’

And hope you feel welcome when you first step onto my front porch

and enter into my home

I love mixing things up from year to year and it's kind of fun to look back.

Hope you enjoyed the tour!

Wishing everyone a very wonderful Thanksgiving holiday!

hugs,

Jann

I always tend to love the smallest details and I loved your book page trees, the tiny house on books and the red trucked filled with ornaments. Thank you for opening up your beautiful home and sharing with us. Hugs, Beverly; December 12, 2013 at 8:32 PM

Art and Sand said...: I am amazed at all the "Christmas" in your house.

If you invited me over, I don't think I would be very sociable. I would be lost in "looking" and taking in all the wonderful details.

Audrey said...: Everything looks so beautiful ... it would be hard for me to pick a favorite ... however, I love the red bicycle. Doubt that I could get one in my house.
Have a wonderful, blessed Christmas.

Mona said...: Hi. I was wondering if you did the redwork of the boy and girl holding a string of Christmas stockings and mittens. If so, what is the name of the pattern and/or who is the designer. I have a friend who does redwork stockings every year and I's love to do this up for her. Thank you. Mona @ peaceandquilts@gmail.com; December 21, 2013 at 11:01 PM
