Christmas Home Tour 2014

Christmas Home Tour 2014-

Thursday Favorite Things blog hop 169I didn’t go ” all in” with the Christmas decorating this year. I was fighting a losing battle with a terrible cold right after Thanksgiving. I just never quite “had my ducks in a row”. But, I thought it would be fun to share what I did manage to have the energy to decorate. Since I can’t have you all over for a cup of tea or cocoa, I hope this simple Christmas Home Tour 2014 will make you smile. Most of all I want to let you know, I love sharing the Christmas spirit with you all. I shared a peek at our Christmas tree yesterday at the hop ( you can still link up today  too).

  Welcome to our home

We have outside lights on the first floor only. I love the twinkling lights and the reindeer.

Oops, look the door wreath is crooked, I”l fix that…

Just a little adjustment and it’s right back where it belongs. The cute Christmas tree sign on the right of the door was my birthday gift this year (made by our grandchildren). ♥ “may your days be merry and bright”.

 I added some teal touches to the Christmas tree this year.

I also tied a pretty teal heart with a ribbon and placed it in the tree top angel’s hand.

 The mantel is always one of the first things I decorate. What do you decorate first?

 Hmmm, which stocking is Izzy’s? giggle

 The buffet had a change this year too. I usually display the European Santa collection here. This year I wanted to add the poinsettia art I created. If you missed the diy please click HERE. I might make one for the spring that looks like a big Gerber daisy:-)

I added a few Christmas touches to the kitchen. I plan to buy some little rolling pins this year ( I planned to last year, wink) to add to the kitchen Christmas tree. I think I’ll paint them with some fun colors and maybe add polka dots.

I added some fresh carnations to the reindeer centerpiece.

    Oh, my. I am so in love with your Teal tree! I love the Angels where did you get them? I’m so sorry to hear that you were/are ill. I have been very ill myself. I have not been able to make the presents yet. I have been really heartbroken since we lost my father – in-law Pa Bear along with our upstairs neighbor Rod. I am praying for a better year in the coming year.. Also, could you please pray for me as I may be getting diagnosed with Young Onset Parkinson Disease.

      Hello Karen, thank you, I have been collecting angels for many years. I don’t remember where all of them came from. But some were purchased at a lovely store in Utah called rainbow gardens. I am truly sorry for your loss and hope the holiday season and the new year bring only good things your way. I pray you will not be diagnosed with early onset Parkinsons. I had tremors for years ( still have a head shakes now and then) I know how awful they can be. Big Hugs!

    **Merry Christmas Katherine**, I love the tree your grandkids made, it is darling, your not old enough for grandchildren!!! You did well with decorating, some years are like that, I have not been in the decorating mood this year, at all, so little has been done.

    Oh, Katherine, your Christmas decorations are beautiful! I hope you are feeling better. Our whole family came down with a cold also. We have been out of commission over a week, so I was very late trying to get the house ready. You did a beautiful job! Merry Christmas to you and yours, dear friend.

This yummy recipe had nearly 30,000 pins on Pinterest, Then my blog went down and the IP address was changed when they fixed it. So all pins from Katherines Corner were no longer linked and Pinterest deleted them because the pins didn't go anywhere.When you make this pie I hope you'll pin it too. I was so proud of this accomplishment. xo
