AFTER THE GLITTER!

 It has been three full days since Christmas, and I think I have all of the decorations down and put away.  Plus, possibly 80% of the glitter has found a new home in the vacuum.  I know that in two months time there will still be a piece of glitter sparkle up at me!!!

I took some time today to change out the dish rack in the dining room into something for the winter season.

 Brown transferware, brown bottles, pinecones --

 and feathers.

 I realize, of course, that it will be time before I know it to get out the Valentines for another glitter-filled holiday!

I'm joining the following:

Rattlebridge Farm for Foodie Friday and Everything Else

Coastal Charm for Tuesday Show and Share

A Stroll Thru Life for Inspire Me Tuesday
Have a Daily Cup for Share Your Cup Thursday

A START ON CHRISTMAS

I'm finally getting a slow start on the Christmas decorating.  I couldn't decide which direction to go; so by default, I'm continuing last year's theme:  Tradition, Plaid, Nature, and some Vintage Farmstyle thrown in!

 I doubt my amaryllis blooms will last until Christmas, but they are so pretty with the pine cones and feathers.

 The red bucket is one of several wooden buckets I've accumulated over the years.  It usually holds my clothespins for transport to the clothesline.  The candle holder is a disc spacer from the farm equipment salvage yard.

I'm joining the following parties - please, check them out for a lot of inspiration for your Christmas decorating.
