Winter Calm

I always love the after Christmas feel of the house. It always seems like I magically gain space…until I rush to fill it back up in a few weeks. It always evokes a sense of calm for my eyes and mind after the Merry and Bright of the holiday season. Keeping a few elements of greenery and berries keeps it from appearing too sparse. It is also time to celebrate the quiet beauty of snow…and hopefully we actually get some this year! I hope you find some peace this week. Hopefully my home brings that peace a little closer.

Berries and pine cones bathed in morning light…what could be more striking

I know, Willow Tree doesn’t seem my style, most were gifts. The simple beauty captured my heart…I don’t need any more, however.

We need some snow around here…we have an unused sled just waiting for action…for two years!

An antique Japanese tea basket gives rustic beauty in the foyer

There is still some room for a little Christmas joy
