Season’s greetings friends! I simply can’t believe Christmas is two days away, there is still so much to do! Presents to wrap, family to visit, and cookies to bake for Santa. Here are a few lovely images that will get you in the mood to enjoy the weekend!
Words simply cannot express my gratitude to all of you who visit here every now and then. You inspire me so much! Thank you all for your kind words of encouragement through comments, emails and tweets. I’m so excited for all the promise the New Year brings, and even more creative projects and opportunities that await.
Signing off for the weekend wishing you all a very
Merry Christmas!
See you next week!

Merry Christmas to you and yours, Kate! :) Thank YOU for fabulous posts filled with beautiful photos and wonderful reading.
Oh I love the little snowman in the hot chocolate! See you next year!
Kate,
I’ve been enjoying your blog for most of 2010 and I just wanted to say “Thank You” for sharing your decorating inspirations, your amazing photos of your home, your holiday traditions, DIY projects, thrifting fun, paint colors, reply emails to me, and so much more… but also thank you making me laugh. You know, I’m leaving on vacation and I really want to take my laptop with me so that I don’t miss anything (I KNOW I’m on the naughty list now!) *smiles*
My heartfelt wishes go out to you and your family for a blessed Christmas and a happy and healthy New Year.

Have a lovely Christmas, and thanks for sharing your great blog with all of us.Just has to laugh so much when you were telling in your other previous post about the lady who told you all her trade secrets about upholstering as you ” always talk to everyone ” you sound such a fun person!! Have a great great Christmas !!!
Merry Christmas to you and your family!
I love the snowman in the chabby chic tea cup. That is so pretty!
Can I live in your blog?
You are on my naughty list today because, after seeing your beautiful glass stone wreath, I’ve been contemplating a trip to Michael’s, AC Moore or WalMart ALL day to do a small one in aqua for myself.
(So far I’ve resisted, but it’s only 5:00 here!)
I canNOT spend any money on myself two days before Christmas, it’s just not right lol.
Love your pictures, and I potted some paperwhites a few weeks ago in the hopes that they’d bloom by Christmas day – i might get my wish – they’re all sprouted up and two already have green leaves poking through.
I wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas!! I’m grateful to have found your blog this year. You are a true inspiration!
Merry Christmas Kate, have a fabulous Christmas Day and thanks for a very inspirational year.

Merry Christmas Kate! I love these beautiful photos of Christmas decor. I’ve enjoyed your blog so much this year. I think you’re the one who had those amazing velvet pumpkins. I saved my stems from Halloween & I’m going to thy making my own this coming year. You’re amazing!

Merry Christmas Kate. Hope you will actually sit and rest, no projects? Thanks for featuring me and my humble silver dresser. You have such an amazing blog and your energy and creativity never cease to amaze me:)
Have a Merry Christmas {since you live in California my guess you won’t be having a white Christmas – glad I am not the only one, but you will most likely get sun, we get rain}
Hugs,Barbara
Merry Christmas!

Kate – thank you so much for a wonderful year of inspiration and ideas. I didn’t discover your blog until a few months ago but have become a devoted follower. I look forward to what you have in store for your readers each day. I am in the process of making over my master bedroom incorporating many of your ideas and projects as I go. You have been my catalyst and motivator! I am looking forward to what you come up with in 2011!!
