Good Morning Friends & Folk ~ a very Merry Yule and a beautiful Winter Solstice to us all.... 'tis the shortest day of the year... the wheel turns slightly once again to bring us more sun each day! This old farmhouse holds many memories of Christmas' past, not only for our family but of those who lived here before... each year as we cozy up the house, I can envision those-before us doing the same and it brings me a great sense of peace and welcoming. it will be a cold Christmas here in our parts of Virginia, the woodpiles are stocked and the homefires are burning bright ~ tea kettles and soup-pots are bubbling and the scents of orange, cloves and pine wafts through the air ~ the halls are decked and the bells are jingling! ....and we will welcome home our daughter to spend the Holiday at home.... merriment, comfort food and cozy slippers await us as we hunker down for the rest of this year, ~ readying ourselves to ring in a sparkling-fresh 2023. {all photos found on Pinterest} Blessings from the Farm ~ Lori

Hello everyone, Today I thought I would share some of my past tablescape favorites with you. The one above is a romantic afternoon tea during lilac season in our garden. A summer brunch on the porch where our daughter and granddaughter are checking out the choices. A Sunday morning breakfast with two of my grandsons after a sleepover. A summer afternoon tea with my good friend Heather(on the left). A beach picnic near our home. Another family brunch day. Afternoon tea for my girls and the little ones on the veranda. Tea with lilacs. The three little cousins are having tea last summer.. It was a good year as 3 new grandchildren 5 years ago. now. Lemonade in the garden anyone? or maybe breakfast in the sunroom? Afternoon tea with guests. or how about a romantic candlelight dinner? Can't forget Christmas by candle light. or you could laze around in the hammock with a tall glass of pink lemonade. Autumn snack in the garden. I do look forward to those lazy beach days again,don't you? .I did enjoy this white tea in the little garden cottage though too. Hm! not sure which one is my favorite-what about you-do you have a favorite? I did enjoy a look at some past favorites and I hope you did too! I am joining Tablescape Thursday at Between Naps on the Porch today.Thank you Susan for hosting this popular party-check it out if you haven't already. Thank you for visiting! Take care, Carolyn

Hello everyone, I hope you enjoyed your weekend. I enjoyed a lovely afternoon on Saturday going to the Christmas House Tours and then out to supper with my daughters. On Sunday we hosted our annual family pizza party for 30 and the grandchildren exchanged gifts adding to the fun. I love this casual party.

You can see my collection of Friendly Village china has made it's way back out to the cupboard for the Christmas/Winter season. Father Christmas stands watch in the corner.

Well, let's start with the fact that you will most likely be meeting some weird relatives that you only see once a year, the other more obvious thing is that people tend to relax from all the worries at this time, and, inspired by the Christmas spirit, let themselves a bit loose. And that is where the best memes come from.
