Country Whites Weekend

Hello everyone!  The Country Farm Home  and Old Time Farmhouse are jointly hosting their first ‘Country Whites Weekend’ party and I thought I would share a few of my country whites starting in the dining room.    

 

A white collection of this and that in the kitchen….. 

….in the hallway

…..the powder room

and a white swing on our front porch.

I hope you enjoyed your visit viewing a few country whites dressed for Christmas in my home. 

Wishing you all a wonderful and Blessed Merry Christmas.

Gail

P.S,  Thanks Dru and Cindy for hosting.  I’m looking forward to this new party as I have lots more whites to share. 

The Christmas Tree

Hello Everyone!  In keeping with the rustic feeling on the mantel shelf in our family room this year……  

…….I carried it over to the Christmas tree. 

 

 

 

All the shopping is done, gifts are wrapped and the baking is done..now it is time to enjoy this beautiful time of year. 

Wishing all of you all the happy things this very special holiday brings and I hope you all have a wonderful and Blessed Merry Christmas.

Our Front Porch at Christmas

Hello everyone and welcome to our front porch at Christmas.  

 

I made the Christmas urns you see using twig grapevine wreaths, Christmas garland, large ornament balls and white lights. 

With temperatures above normal here the last few weeks, I have actually been able to sneak a few minutes and enjoy a cup of coffee swinging on my swing.   

For Christmas, I removed my fall pillows and replaced them with some new ones I made.  I used Christmas placemats that I found at Ross to make the pillows. 

The other side of the porch. 

Some early morning shots with the porch lit up. 

 

 

As always, thanks for stopping by and I hope you all are having a Blessed week.

Christmas Vignettes

Hello Everyone!  It’s so hard to believe that Christmas is only one week away.  I would like to share with you a few Christmas vignettes that I have around my home.  This is a post of pictures with very few words.  Some you may have already seen. 

I placed an electric candle with faux Christmas greens and burlap bows in each window downstairs.   

 

My newest addition to my galvanized pitcher collection.

As always, thanks for stopping by.
