Home for the Holidays Tour

Welcome

&

Please come in and have a look around as I am joining Rhoda at Southern Hospitality for her Home for the Holidays tour.

These photos are a mix of last years and this years pictures of our home decorated for Christmas.

Our little Christmas Cottage



I hope you enjoyed your tour of our home and please help yourself to some cookies and hot apple cider in the kitchen. I know you are busy as there are so many other lovely homes to visit over at Rhoda's Southern Hospitality.

Thank you for visiting me and thank you Rhoda for hosting this big event!

Today I am also joining in with Julia at Hooked on Houses Holiday Home tour. Thank you Julia for hosting this great event also.

  1. Oooh, Carolyn! I'm not very far into all the wonderful posts tonight but I couldnt resist skipping to the end when I saw that you had joined the party. SO pretty!!!!
    (I love your kitchen window every bit as much as mine)
    It looks like the inside of your home is every bit as beautiful as the outside(the gardens), which always is so pleasing to visit.
    Thanks so much for sharing.

  22. At this busy time of year, a visit to your home tour was a peaceful and delightful break from the fast pace we are all moving at. I sat here sipping my coffee and enjoying every last beautiful photo. The warmth and coziness that you have created in your home is such a treat for the eye. I do believe that your home should be featured in Victoria magazine.
    Thank you for sharing it with us.
