Happy NEW YEAR and welcome to TFT! This is now my SEVENTH year co-hosting this fabulous weekly link party for bloggers and blog readers with Katherine of Katherine’s Corner and a fantastic group of bloggers!
Happy winter friends! Yes, winter can be happy when you appreciate the opportunities for slowing down, reflecting on the year ahead and endulging in all things cozy and comforting! I have been nesting around the house during all the snow days we had, and I am particularly loving the winter vibes in our dining room. Today I am excited to be sharing the dining room as part of a Vintage Cottage Weekend with my friend Debra of Common Ground! This post contains affiliate links.
After the beauty and excitement of the holidays with festive colors and twinkling lights I like to continue to keep our home looking cozy and magical for winter using greenery and garlands. Today I am excited to share a preview of our nearly finished sunroom and how I am cozied it up for the winter with a beautiful pre-lit Dandan Pine Garland from Seasonal LLC. *I received this garland for review from Seasonal LLC. All opinons are my own.
An unexpected snow day on Monday has turned into an unexpected snow week, extending the holiday break and allowing me to rest mentally and physically, but also to do some winter cleaning and decorating (things I truly enjoy) at a leisurely pace. Few things in life bring me such joy as an unexpected snow day, and I am nearly giddy about having the rest of the week off. To clarify, I do love teaching, but with the busy-ness of my holiday choir performance schedules from November right up until the day of break, two weeks just wasn’t enough for me to rest and rejuvenate with all the family parties and Christmas celebrations too and I was dreading going back to work. My body and mind really needed this extra time to reset and I truly feel this has been a gift from God for me personally.

Merry Christmas everyone! We are celebrating our second Christmas here in on our 1926 red brick home, but it is still feeling very new to us as we continue to renovate and finish up details in every room. Today I am sharing a preview of how I am creating my signature vintage-traditional and classic, cozy cottage Chrismtas style in our dining room and kitchen. For extra fun, I am adding some before and after pictures so you can see how far things have come in the two years since we began renovations and the year we have lived here.

DIY Shabby-Vintage Valentine Hearts (Using Scrapbooking and Craft Stash Supplies)
Happy February my friends! Today I am sharing some adorable shabby Vintage DIY Valentine Hearts that I made using scrapbooking materials from my craft stash. On Sunday I was in a crafty mood, and I started out with the intention of just making a simple cardboard moss heart. However, when I began gathering my supplies I came across some beautiful vintage style scrapbook papers, Tim Holtz “Paper Dolls” and a few other scrapbooking items that inspired me to make several different shabby-vintage style hearts. *This post contains affiliate links.
