Christmas Haus 2016

Vintage, hand blown ornaments.

It’s been a busy year.  That is the introduction to my apology for not posting more frequently.  I vow to rectify that in the new year.

Although this is my second Christmas, post renovation, I felt more settled in the home this year.  More relaxed.

But I digress.  I have some holiday pictures to share.  Plus, let you know that I am posting on Instagram.  As of this moment,  I have 13 organic followers.  And I am proud of each one of those.

So finally, thank you for continuing to follow my blog and continuing to check back for new posts.  I hope the holiday and the new year are good to you and your family.  As for me, I am optimistic and have nothing but good, sweet thoughts.

I hope you find some inspiration.

Always,

Cindy
