While it's always wonderful and exciting to celebrate the holidays and special events of my life, it also feels good to get back to ordinary life. My home is slowly getting back to normal. All the holiday decor is packed away for another year. I have been dusting and polishing and setting up the bits and pieces that bring me pleasure as they are settled back into their appointed places.
I have a new favorite piece..this lovely picture which was a gift from our daughter. It makes an attractive grouping in our entry hall, as well as an expressive symbol of our faith.
I have also been taking it easy with a couple of old favorite books.
Adieu!
I enjoyed the peek into your home. It looks very serene and calm.
ReplyDeleteMaeve Binchy and Rosamunde Pilcher are old favourites of mine too.
Thank you. There is still much to be done in the other spaces of the house but at least our main living area is reflecting some calm.
DeleteHow nice to get your home back to the everyday normal adding some new gifts where they fit best. Glad you had time to take it easy. Hope 2025 is a good year with old and new things to enjoy.

Thank you Ellen. May it be the same for you.
It's nice, after the busyness of the Christmas season and all that entails, to settle back into a more leisurely pace again. It's the perfect time of year too, cold days and dark evenings, to spend time at home pottering and enjoying our hobbies.
