Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah from the Blue Cottage!
Landon loves all of his gifts — more LEGOs, more Quixels, an orca sleeping bag, a brainy game, and a few other things — and I love mine!
Don bought me a Starbucks gift card, thick socks, and Joanna and Chip Gaines’ book The Magnolia Story.
That was a surprise because Don usually buys me clothes or jewelry. I don’t think in 12 years he’s ever bought me a book, but this choice shows he knows me well.

Our living room fireplace is massive, and I’m having a lot of fun decorating it for every season.
This year I just used Christmas decorations I already had. Except for those accent pillows from Target and Country Antiques.
I’m so glad I held on to this little empty toy gumball machine — I turned it into a gumball machine snow globe!

But I have a hard time throwing out anything I might be able to use or reuse or repurpose at some point.

I turned the gumball machine into a snow globe with just a few supplies, and in literally 5 minutes! [Read more…]
This rustic cake stand just had to come home with me to add to the farmhouse decor in my house.
