Happy New Year’s Eve and welcome to Thursday Favorite Things! I am thrilled to be joining Katherine at Katherine’s Corner and wonderful group of bloggers in celebrating the beginning of my fourth year as a co-hostess for this fantastic weekly link party for bloggers and blog readers too!

If you are looking to grow your blog, make new friends, and or simply to be inspired each week, this is the place to be! *Bloggers: If you would like a chance to be featured, please leave a comment with the number of your link up. We can’t wait to see what you have to share this week! (If you missed the last party and the AMAZING features, you can find it here.) To get the party started, let’s take a look at what I have been up to recently:

A Surprise White Christmas: Snowy Views Around Our Home and Garden

Despite all the trials of the past year, this Christmas was one of the very best! It turned out to be a beautiful “Surprise White Christmas!

On Christmas Eve I shared a look at my Belsnickel collection on the piano in the music room in my post, Merry Christmas Eve from the Belsnickels (and me!)

Vintage Advent Angels and Sacred Vintage Christmas Vignettes

Since we didn’t have TFT last week you might have missed the post I shared for the “Celebrating Advent” Blog Hop. It was truly a beautiful hop full of ideas for decorating for advent and reflections on the true meaning of CHRISTmas.

It’s the last day to enter the Winter Wonderland $100 Giveaway! After partying here today you can head over to this post to enter to win. Good luck!
