What now?

This seems to happen every year.   I take down all of my Christmas stuff and I cannot remember what I had where.  It seems like all of the accessories have disappeared over the holidays and I’m left with bare tables.  I know things have wandered to other parts of the house, so I’m left looking at my living and dining rooms and I’m at a loss.  Does anyone else have this problem?

 So, I just grabbed a few things and put them out until I can really work on it.

 

 

Yawn.  I’m definitely not a minimalist, so this doesn’t work for me.

 

 

…and I have a big hole where the Christmas tree was in my living room.

 

 

Nice cords.  I moved the desk that was there previously into my family room and I love it there, so I need to find something new for the living room.  I almost feel like I want to rearrange everything.

 

 

Am I alone in this?

One last thing.  Lorene Halfmann is the winner of the Wuslu tray and Mary (merryhenke) is the winner of the Wuslu candle holder.  Congratulations, ladies!

four things | seventy seven

This week started with the loss of power from a storm.  It wasn’t really the storm that knocked out the power, but the wall of wind that came right before the rain.  It took out trees, limbs, power poles, and made a general mess of our yard and pool.  Jeff
