it's all about the hospitable home
Hello Dear Readers!
It’s been a while since I promised a peek of the sunroom at the Berry Patch House.
When we were moving in, all things that were in the category of
“I do not know where I am going to put this” …. went into the sunroom.
This room is a collection of things that do not have it’s “own home,” however,
it will different once we move into the “right-sized” house.
Please come in and see the Sunroom Reveal at the Berry Patch House.
Hello Dear Readers!
I hope you all had a most Merry weekend. Our weekend was a special one
as we had our very first snow of the season. It was a Winter Wonderland of Snow.
About 6 to 8 inches of snow fell pretty much overnight,
and by the late afternoon it started melting due to the freezing rain.
Just hope it doesn’t turn to ice!
I have a couple of “snow photos” for you to see and
today, it is all about the Magnolia Foyer and a winner.
The foyer in the Berry Patch house is not large,
so simple Christmas decor is all it needs.
It has been a most fabulous Inaugural Tour with my Monday Morning Blooms friends
Lidy, Mary, Pam, and our newest member Yvonne.
All week long there has been some truly amazing inspiration for decorating your home
with fresh evergreen wreaths, fresh evergreen arrangements, and more!
It is not too late to be able to WIN A BEAUTIFUL FRESH EVERGREEN WREATH
offered by each of the Monday Morning Blooms members.
The deadline is Midnight, Saturday, December 8th, 2018.
The details for each Giveaway are in their respective blog posts.
Links to their posts (and mine) are highlighted below their images.
So here is the Monday Morning Blooms Tour Round Up and Giveaways.
Giveaway courtesy of the wonderful people of Lynch Creek Farm.
Mary of Home Is Where the Boat Is, kicked off our tour on Monday
with a beautiful presentation of her charming southern porch
with her beloved girls, Zoe and Gracie. They are the cutest!
Mary’s wreath, the Country Christmas Wreath, hangs on the back of her pretty porch bench,
while the Tartan Centerpiece beautifully sits on the table with the Girls looking on
and admiring just how beautifully the wreath and arrangement coordinate with the Wellies!

Hello Dear Readers!
Today, I have sneak peeks of the Christmas Great room and an announcement too;
however, let me give you the sneak peeks first.
I have been working on the Great Room at the Berry Patch House.
It is partially in conjunction to the announcement below.
Hello Dear Readers!
Today I am presenting the Christmas Master Bedroom at Berry Patch.
I fully intended to keep it simple; however, you know me . . .
it just wasn’t a Christmas bedroom without a tree!
So I went to the “Christmas storage room” and took out one of my fav trees,
the Clifton Pine from Tree Classics. As I was carting it to the room,
I had an epiphany as I passed by something in the breakfast room corner.
I love “firsts” don’t you?
Well I have a first for you today!
The Berry Patch House has a wonderful porch, perfect for decorating for the seasons.
Only one negative though ….. no electrical outlets on the porch,
so I will have to add some sparkle in other ways!
Come on in and welcome to the Berry Patch House Christmas Porch.
Hello Dear Friends,
I love Christmas and all of the wonderful things that make up the most joyful season of all.
Knowing that our time at the Berry Patch House is temporary and I was not quite certain
if we were going to set up any large trees this year. Maybe just a table top tree with
visions of how I will display and decorate trees in our future home.
However, it’s not me to put a tree on a table and call it a day!
So today, I bring you Our First Christmas Trees at the Berry Patch House.
We are celebrating with beautiful trees from the wonderful Tree Classics
and participating in their fabulous Home For the Holidays Tour.
I am joining fellow bloggers with 12 Days of amazing Christmas tree inspiration.
Links to the tour are below.
Also the complete product list links will be below too!
I did something different this year and love it.
I have done this in the past and thought why not do it again
as I have the perfect trees!
Hello Dear Readers!
Today is the 3rd Friday of the month and that means it’s a special Friday . . . Floral Friday!
I am joining my Floral Friday friends Lidy, Mary and Pam to bring you another great day
of floral inspiration. Their beautiful images and links to their posts are below.
Be sure to visit each and every one to obtain the most gorgeous floral inspiration
for you to enjoy and hope you would love to re-create for your own.
There will also be a big announcement with regard to Floral Friday
at the end of the post too!
Today’s theme is Individual Arrangements.
When I have dinner parties, I always love to create a little gift for each couple
to take home with them. My signature gift is a little “pretty” with flowers in it.
So please join me for Flowers for Friends – Floral Friday.
The winner of Nora Murphy’s Country House Style Book giveaway
will also be revealed at the end of this post.
Hello Dear Readers!
Recently, the wonderful Loi of Tone On Tone published a post
about his most gorgeous shop in Bethesda, Maryland, Tone On Tone.
A shop that he has owned for 15 years and he had made the difficult
decision to close his shop and concentrate more on his interior design business.
I was there not too long ago and as always fell in love with all of his
beautiful antiques . . . from the furniture, to the clocks, to the mirrors,
and the gorgeous accessories. Now, he has placed his beautiful items on sale.
There was one item in particular that I fell in love with.
I will show you some photos that I took (with my iPhone) when I was there last
and maybe you can guess which piece is coming home with me.
A Birthday gift from my hubby to cover the next 10 years … or more!
Let’s start with this amazing French circa 1750 marriage/wedding armoire.
