On a brighter note, the Christmas decor has once again brought back some wonderful memories of Christmas's past. We have sorted through lots of boxes and now have the larger items ready to pass on to our daughters. Spreading the memories around.
The porch has had a simple quilt thrown(creatively placed) over the chair and a few artistic touches to make it look Wintery.
The bedroom has a small tree in the window and is resplendent in all its red glory. Bringing some much needed colour into the dreary days of Winter.
Looking a little top heavy with the enormous topper from a much larger tree last year but cheerful in its own way. There are some treasured baubles amidst the gaiety of the ribbons and poinsettias.
Not one of my best displays I will be honest but it has given us the opportunity to sort all things Christmas out and spread the cheer. Our little cottage is not big enough or suitable for some of the oversized finery from our previous home.
We haven't bothered with the bedding either just a top eiderdown and pillowcases.
Once again I do thank you for visit, your comments and emails. I must also thank and welcome a new follower. I do hope you enjoy my little adventures through life.
See you soon.
Your cottage looks very festive indeed, such lovely decor.
ReplyDeleteI hope your shoulder improves with doing the exercise.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful decorations, I particularly love the one with the angels.
Your cottage looks absolutely wonderful. Each post you write makes me regret more that we never met up when you lived in this area.
ReplyDeleteLove the red tree!
ReplyDeleteAnd the candy castle!
This wonderful season really is all about sharing and reflecting back on all those "precious memories that flood our souls." Your cottage looks so lovely...cozy and warm and festive too.
ReplyDeleteI do hope your shoulder gets better before you spend time with family, and enjoy that time together. That's what it all comes down to. Love and Family.
ReplyDeleteYour little abode is looking very festive! Hope the shoulder is on the mend soon! I had a frozen shoulder a couples of years ago which I got over but I'm having some issues with it again!
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of sharing/passing down the old décor and ornaments with the family. There is nothing quite like nostalgia at Christmastime! Have a blessed week!
ReplyDeleteBeing new here, I don't know what problem you had with your shoulder. But do hope the home exercises help. And that you can get the shot, which sounds as if, it is very helpful...
ReplyDeleteLovely decorations!!!!! I do love red! :-)
Your throw and eiderdown are gorgeous, and I love the red decorations.
ReplyDeleteStunning decorations! I made a crochet stocking this year! :)
ReplyDeleteEverything looks so festive!
ReplyDeleteI really like the tree in the window. Passing down beloved Christmas items keep the memories alive for future generations. I hope your shoulder continues to get better before your trip. ♥
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of a small tree in the bedroom. We will put up a real tree in the living room, so perhaps an artificial one in the bedroom would be fun. I hope your shoulder soon improves. It's all looking festive at your place.
ReplyDeleteI'm scaling down this year too, not a smaller house, just less energy. I like your tree.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Christmas decorations at your cottage. Hope your shoulder is feeling better after the physio and you will have a wonderful trip and holiday!
ReplyDeleteThe bedroom tree is cute and the quilt is very very lovely.
ReplyDeleteI hope your shoulder gets better very soon!
Nice decor and I like the quilt as well! Glad you had a less treacherous travel to your appt for your shoulder. Glad the therapy is helping a bit and soon much better. Take care!
ReplyDeleteIt looks to me that you have some very cozy and cheerful decorations around your croft. When do you leave to the mainland for your holidays with family? ((hugs)), Teresa :-)
ReplyDeleteThat looks wonderfully festive. I adore your eiderdown... I feel Saturday might be a quilting day for me.
ReplyDeleteVery festive 🎄🎄🎄
ReplyDeleteI love the quilt on the chair.
ReplyDeleteI hope you get your scan and injections before you go away.
Hugs-x-
Beautiful! I love that bed quilt too. I hope to share another tree on my blog soon.
ReplyDeleteI wonder what surprise I will find when I will unpack our Christmas decoration ! The last Christmas we had always celebrated in Amsterdam ! Your deco is beautiful ! Hard to think of Christmas when you are laying on the beach with 25° in the shade !
ReplyDeleteHoping your trip will be smooth sailing. Your Christmas bedding looks great with the rest of your Christmas decor.
ReplyDeleteSafe trip and enjoy xxx
ReplyDeleteI hope your shoulder improves for you …
ReplyDeleteI think your home looks very festive :)
All the best Jan
The sharing of the downsizing process can be so satisfying to both giver and receiver. Isn't amazing to realize how much stuff we can gather over time? You and Gerard are in my prayers. xx
ReplyDeleteYour little cottage looks so festive and inviting! I hope you can get your injection before your trip.
