HOME



Winter is the time for comfort - it is the time for home. ~ Edith Sitwell


Hello and welcome to my HOME where you are invited to share anything and everything HOME related. Recipes, antiquing, artwork, baking, cooking, collections, floral arranging, tea time, tablescapes, thrifting, DIYs, etc.

Hope you're all having a good week. Today's party almost didn't get underway because I have been extremely busy with a lot of different matters. Indeed, my plate is overloaded at the moment and we'll see how things go in the next few weeks.

I shared this beautiful Royal Albert Lady Carlyle teacup at my tea party this week. Isn't she lovely?


She's displayed with some beautiful pink tulips.



Here are some wonderful posts which caught my eye last week....

Bella @ Bella's Rose Cottage shared some lovely posies after her Christmas. I love the roses drying from her chandelier!



Carol @ Art and Sand shared the table top that her hubby built from reclaimed wood. A little rustic and just plain perfect!

Di @  Cottage Wishes shared her wonderful collection of white ironstone; love it!


Deborah @ the beautiful matters shared her wonderful winter tablescape using one of my favourite china patterns, JB Friendly Village.


And Jann @ Have a Daily Cup of Mrs. Olson shared her fabulous heart wreath created  with Christmas ornaments; just in time for Valentine's Day.

Do you have something you would like to share? Simply link up below and I will be happy to come and visit you. Have a fabulous week everyone!

Lord, this humble house we'd keep
Sweet with play and calm with sleep.
Help us so that we may give
Beauty to the lives we live.
Let Thy beauty and Thy grace
Shine upon our dwelling place. ~ Edgar A. Guest

    Your pretty and dainty teacup and saucer echo the powdery pastel of the featured roses, drying from that lovely chandelier. Such subtle and soft hues, very feminine and very appreciated in this cold and grey month that is January!

    Thanks so much for hosting, Sandi and have a lovely week!

    all these pictures are beautiful Sandi...nice to see in the harshness of winter. I've decided, I'm definitely not a fan of winter. Wishing you a gentle weekend......
