it's all about the hospitable home
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.
All I have to say is better late than never!
It seems like I had been working on many Christmas trees this year,
that I did not have much time to decorate the porch.
Early in December, I placed the wreaths on the door.
I finally put the finishing touches on the porch, making sure not to overdo it!
So for my last post of this Christmas season, I present, The Christmas Porch.
How do you decorate a porch in the South? You use Magnolia leaves!
My inspiration for the Christmas porch theme this year
were these beautiful fresh wreaths from Lynch Creek Farm
that were embellished with magnolia leaves.
Welcome to my Southern Magnolia Christmas Porch.
When I begin to decorate my home for Christmas,
I look back on the year’s past Christmas tour to see how I can use my current Christmas
decor in a different way that I had in the past.
While referencing last year’s Christmas tour, I thought that I would present it again
to you and for those who are new to my blog, a chance to see what I did last year.
Decorations once used in the kitchen has landed in my great room this year.
I am dancing to the Christmas Shuffle.
Welcome to my 2015 Christmas Home Tour.
Welcome to my home!
It was supposed to be a birthday and Valentine’s Day gift,
an outdoor rug that I saw in the Frontgate catalog
that I fell in love with!
I ordered it and they said it was on back order.
OK . . . I can wait, but it took 9 months! . . . . But have to say, it was worth the wait.
Twas the Night Before Christmas . . .
When all through the house . . . . not a creature was stirring . . . not even a mouse!
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care . . .
In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there.
I can finally say that all my gifts are wrapped and under the tree…
…..I am going to be settling in “for a long winter’s nap” soon.
The evening was most wonderful having dinner at my son’s home…
…..to be able to experience the joy in a child (my granddaughter)…
……….the excitement of the morning to come…after Santa has paid his visit.
I wish you all a very Merry Christmas…making sweet memories with your loved ones.
So I end my Christmas postings with my front porch…
…..during the day … and into the night….
And in the dark of night……
Merry Christmas to all…..
and to all a good night!!!!
