Thanks for stopping by. I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and wish you all Blessings in the New Year!

    Emily, I felt as if I'd were there for a visit. Your home is lovely any time of year, but it truly is special to see how you decorated for the Christmas season. The 12 Days of Christmas pieces are gorgeous. Who makes this set? One of my stocking gifts was a set of the 12 Days of Christmas place card holders that William Sonoma produced for this year. Now I need to have a dinner party for 12 next Christmas. Ha! I'd have to move all the furniture out of our living room to host a table of 12. But who knows.......we just might do that for the fun of it.
    Thanks for opening your home for us............Hugs ~ Sarah

    Your home looks so warm and inviting for Christmas, Emily--I love the blue and silver decorations, and the little face inside the pointsettia! Your tree is spectacular all lit up at night--gorgeous. It's always lovely to hear from you, and excited to see your new ideas for your blog come to fruition--I'll be following along with you! Happy New Year to you!

    An absolute STUNNING post, dear Emily.
    Thanks so much for sharing your beautiful home, all dressed for Christmas.
    I just finished putting our decorations away for another year. The house always takes on a "pitiful Pearl" look, once all the sparkle and shine is removed. :(

    Just beautiful. The whole decor, the colours and the collections are wonderful. So much to look at.
    I must come back and look again. I have several of the Christmas books that I got for Tristen. I am thinking I should put them away for next year, they will only get lost in the pile otherwise.

    A lovely home filled with sweet treasures. I enjoyed seeing the dolls and elves lounging here and there with their legs hanging down. Though I don't usually enjoy music, I very much enjoyed listening here. Happy New Year!

    Every detail is delightful, Emily. Loved catching up today. Seems like this past holiday season passed me by, but then I look at our new house (even though it's temporary while we look for our dream house) and I'm so grateful.
    My favorites are your beautiful buffet and of course, your kitchen hutch. Of course, my heart's fixated on that red door you know. Can't wait for our dream house, hopefully this year and not next. First thing I'm going to do is paint the door red. ;)
    XOXO's,
    Marcia
