Welcome

Welcome to our old farmhouse. Over the past year I have learned so much history of this house and the people who lived here. Ninety six years of love, loss, hopes and dreams. Preservation continues and there is always a repair to be done. We are trying to be purest in our preservation as much as we possibly can. I hope you follow along and each week I will try to give you a little history of the house as well as the first owners of the house. I've been lucky enough to find a journal from a Granddaughter who talks about the house as well as her Grandparents. So come follow along and learn about this old house as well as the occupants, old and new.

Whites At Christmas

A huge "Thank You" to Susan at
for hosting this event. Be sure to visit
Susan and all the other participants
for this weeks "Deck The Halls". Tonight I am showing you a little of the
decorating I have in my family room.
Here is the mantle, I loved the contrast of
the white against the rock wall.
This was my first attempt at making a rag
garland.
White dried hydrangeas.
Magnolias on the wreath.
My tree in this room is just a small one.
It sits on a table covered in white lace, is
decorated with white lights, dried white
hydrangeas and of course all the decorations
are white.
This is my tree topper, a little unconventional
I know. It's just a little white frosted globe
with roses on it, I just thought it worked with
the tree.
I hope you enjoyed your short visit.
Be sure to let me know what you think,
I love hearing from everyone.
See you Thursday!
Bye For Now,
Sandy
