There's no place like home for the holidays

There's no place like home for the holidays! Our own home, our childhood home, our children's childhood home (our place)...it's wonderful to spend time with family at this time of the year.

 Trees at night...so pretty!

 Porch decor at our red front door - the red hydrangeas are from my garden, and spray-painted.

 Josey welcomes you.

 The living room

 A tabletop tree

 A better look at the mantel

 The bathroom has a bit of Christmas too.

 A tiny tree on the vanity

 In the back hallway

 Jesus is the reason for the season

 I made peanut brittle for tea time today. The peanut brittle recipe is from Sandi at Rose Chintz Cottage and you can find it here.

 I also have toffee, if you would prefer; or how about a sample of each? If you would like the recipe - it's easy - click here. Recipe is courtesy of Lynn from Happier Than a Pig in Mud.

 I had the good fortune to win a giveaway sponsored by Deborah of The Beautiful Matters.

 Deborah crocheted this festive dishcloth. Love the pretty tag she enclosed with the parcel too. :)



 Two pretty dishcloths, perfect in my Christmas kitchen.

Also, yummy Spice Plum tea - that's what I'm drinking today!
Thanks, Deborah! I feel blessed to have won your blog anniversary giveaway!
