It's been a week since the holiday finery came down, and it is usually an all day process. And after all is packed away, and then deep cleaned, the place feels so much better and refreshed, although I do miss the glitter of the holidays just a bit. But then that's why I end up spray glittering the Lad!!! As you will see I can't stand vases, clocks, or mirrors! And the Mother even gave me two gorgeous tapestry pillows with peacocks on them. I do love myself some......never mind.
My weakness for wooden animals and hand molded pottery.......
My love for sea shells...collected in Rehoboth......
What's left of the tree, redesigned and thinned out.......
The Dame Courtney for Christmas gave me a beautiful collection of vintage bow ties, as she knows I love to wear them. So, I mixed some up with rolled ties in a bell jar, and some others in a shadow bow and mixed in with some photos of the Lad, family and friends.
Of course warm puppies always make at home warmer no? Buster is here with the Mother's dog Lady, and my Aunt's corgi, Lizabeth.
As much as the place looks empty now after the holiday finery came down, it's nice to have the place all re-arranged and back to normal.
Beautiful, all of it. Can I move in please?
