We brought the Christmas tree up from the basement on Saturday. It's not trimmed yet but the soft white lights are bringing me lots of joy. It's the first thing I do each morning before the sun comes up :: plug in the tree and watch it sparkle.
The tree sits in front of our Great Room window and replaces a table that usually calls that space home. The table was moved to the dining room where it will live during the Christmas season. There was a bench in the dining room where the table now sits. The bench found a new home at the dining room table. I had to move two chairs in order for the bench to fit in. All this excitement inspired me to play with the fireplace mantle. An old thrifted suitcase and a featherweight sewing machine seemed like a good fit for now. Decorating's just like piecing a puzzle, isn't it? One thing leads to another.........
