...more bits of Christmas


Fresh greens, pomegranates and pewter adorn our simple mantle this year.


My hooking chair...




From the sunroom...a peek into the family room.

More red Shiny Brites...



This early 1800's child's dress hangs on our laundry room door. It is circa 1830...wool challis...red and black...and is one of my very favorite things.


...and back to the sunroom

Sheep...


Hope you all are enjoying this special season. It was grey and gloomy here yesterday. Annie and I fired up the candles...put in our James Taylor Christmas CD and decorated the tree...and yes, there was dancing...lots of dancing.

Enjoy the day,
Robyn

    Oh Robyn your home is so serene...it's so nicely stated, not overdone and one can see all the beauty because it's not all gopped up...it's sooooo perfect.
    Goodness can you imagine a child wearing a wool dress - but they did. Beautiful piece, I can see why it's a favorite.

    Thanks for sharing.

    ...You & Annie dancing to Christmas music, you can't put that in a package and wrap it - priceless! :o)

    ...Each and every one of your photos are worthy of a country decor' magazine. Really. And that child's dress hanging on your laundry room door? *swoons* :o)

    ...It seems that the Christmas spirit is alive and well in the Mugwump Homestead. Thank you so much for sharing!

    ..."Merry Christmas!" *<:o{

    ...Blessings. :o)

    You, my friend, just do it all so right. Sigh. Your home, your decor, your taste, is positively enchanting and exquisite. What I wouldn't have given to be a speck on the wall watching you Annie dance.... :o) Smiles & Hugs ~ Robin

    Hi Robin! I found your blog when I was searching the web for "putz sheeps", and boy, do you have them - and how wonderful they are! <3
    I would be EVER so happy if you contacted me in case you would consider selling one or more, it would bring me over the moon! Please write me anyway, so I know you have read this; my email is bluebunnyblushing@gmail.com
    Best wishes,
