Friday’s Favs…when the Christmas decorations are put away, then what?

I usually have the Christmas décor all put away and the house put back in order before we ring in the New Year.

This year we were out of town until the Friday after New Year’s, so I was later than usual doing that big job.

Of course, I can't leave well enough alone with just taking down the tree and putting the decorations away.

One thing leads to another and before you know it I’m cleaning, rearranging

and fluffing this and that around our little nest.

The fireplace mantel is all decked out in white with a few felt snowflakes mixed in…

(I’m kind of hoping for some snow this year).

The old wooden ladder holds a bucket of baby’s breath

as well as a vintage grain sack and some french linens.

I changed my “drying rack photo display” from Christmas photos,

replacing them with some old black and whites photos of Mama when she was young,

as well as the Hubs and I when we were little.

Candles in some old bottles sit atop the antique library table.

A wooden caddy sits on the vintage trunk that serves as our coffee table.

An old photo of Mama’s grade school class nestles on top of some old books.

The shelf above the couch hold a bit of this and that.

The old blue dresser is still one of my favorite things…

here it holds a wire basket filled with colorful kitchen linens.

Thanks for stopping by my place!

HAPPY, HAPPY FRIDAY EVERYONE and HAVE A BLESSED WEEKEND!
