I'm Keeping The Wreath. . .and. . .

Christmas is over for another year. . .The decorations are coming down. . .BUT. . .I'm keeping the wreath.

Everyone who knows me, knows that I absolutely, positively LOVE RED for pops of color. . .and I've loved this wreath from the first time I saw it. . .I've used it for Christmas a couple of years now. . .in various places around the house. . .and I often store it as the Winter season ends. . .Not this time. . .Nope. . .This time, it's staying on the living room wall. . .where I can enjoy it everyday. . .
(Note: My apologies for the photographs. They did not upload as they look in my folder. I used a new editing program. . .that I certainly won't used again! I will try to change them out soon!)
And below it, I put a press-on with some inspirational words directly on the wall. . .
Words I need to see everyday, too. .

I'm changing up the living room a little. . .I can't show you the entire result, yet, because I'm still working on it. . .Still adding and subtracting. . .
I did find this old crate in storage for a table. .a quick clean-up was all it needed. . .I may use it in front of the couch. . .
While I was at it, I brought in part of my crock collection from the back porch. . .putting them at the fireplace to dry after a good soak in the tub. . I think some of the larger ones might be nice in the living room, too. . .Crocks are great anywhere in a farmhouse. . .
My little helper. . .Mr. B J LaShay. . .has been there with me every step of the way. . .Getting into EVERYTHING. . .

But. . .He IS CUTE. . .isn't he. . .in his red Christmas bow tie?
I kind of like having him around. . .

So. . .although I haven't made any New Year's resolutions, yet. . .I HAVE made a New Year's decision. . .I have two "keepers". . .the WREATH. . .AND the CAT. . because. . .Both make me SMILE. . .

Keeping the red wreath will keep the spirits up during the rest of the dull, gray winter. I'm glad you decided to keep Mr. LaShay, too. lol

You go girl, keep the wreath! I'm very much a red girl too. As I was putting my Christmas away, I decided to keep all the red berry picks and sprays out for winter. Once I finish putting all the snowmen and winter decor out, I may not like the red berries mixed with it but for now, I'm still enjoying them... and there is lots of them! =]

What an awesome crate that is. I think it looks perfect in front of the couch. And the crocks... yes, get those babies inside so you can enjoy their beauty during winter.

Have a delightful weekend~

Absolutely keep the wreath. A pop of red adds a little happiness to any room. The kitty is a keeper too. :)

Thanks for all your wonderful comments--even with the horrible photos! I do appreciate you all!

Avoid make ups with any oil in them, and sparingly use moisturizers, foundations, eye makeup, and blushes labeled oil free. Also look for non-comedogenic products, which do not encourage the closure of pores.
