cozy and natural...

this is what i see when i am watching hallmark christmas movies in front of the fireplace. i love the glow of the lites on top of the fireplace. the lites stay on thru some of our darker winter days. our fireplace room is a rather small and cozy room; my very favorite room in the house! it's my favorite because it has the fireplace in it and there is nooooooothing better than being in front of the fireplace for me! i can look out onto our deck and see birds feeding or watch the snow falling and i'm next to the kitchen when i want something yummy to eat or a hot cup of coffee or cocoa! life is good in the fireplace room!

i love greenery and i love pinecones, and because this room has a natural feel to it, they fit in beautifully and naturally.

my"friendy" made this wonderful arrangement on an old shutter. she is incredibly talented and i love, love. love her and this arrangement. the clear, sparkly glitter gives it the look of icy frost on a cold winter morning! it is beautiful! again, just like friendy!
