WINTER'S RENEWAL AND REFRESH FOR BODY, MIND AND SPIRIT

Good Morning Loves.....
The cold winds doth blow....
I hear the trees sway and bend through the night hours..
what leaves are remaining swirl about the lawns
and much of the country is laden with snow..
beautiful, but oh so cold....
currently our favorite dairy farm in Maine
looks picture perfect in the photo below..... 

I remember this so very well....those long winter months.....

My friend in North Carolina shared this photo of her home...
I do so love the look of winter.....

I have purchased a few little items to embrace the season
and chose tiny changes to brighten our spirits....

A new wax warmer along with a lovely Citrus and Balsam candle...
scents of Graciousness.....

I added this beautiful sage pillow to brighten up this space...
I am really loving the shades of green right now.....

It's time for pulling out the coziest of throw blankets.....
and I am so loving shopping at our HEB...

I picked up these amazing natural bath soaps the other day...
I am a soap fanatic and these scents are just so very lovely.....
I like to have the bathrooms feel like a visit to a spa......

WINTER'S COMFORT FOOD

I feel the need to create a festive escape from the cold air
and welcome our loved ones home to a warm gathering....

For breakfast, a delicious puff pastry wrapped with
a cream cheese filling and fresh blueberries....

We often find reasons to put out a beautiful charcuterie
for the cocktail hour....

An evening of a shrimp and smoked sausage linguine
brings comfort to the table....

And one must remember a favorite Southern vintage
No Peek Chicken and Rice.....

I left the little tree on display in the kitchen window....
As the temperature drops and the nights grow longer,
how delightful to wrap yourself in the aromas of
a winter meal and know the twinkling lights will always guide you toward home......
