Show Off Your Cottage Monday

What makes you happy? My home makes me happy... I love being in it, decorating it and, looking after it. Embellishing my home is one of my favorite pastimes ever... it truly makes me happy... as happy as a leprechaun romping through a field of shamrocks ;)

Dining with family is always a pleasure no matter how fancy or simple the meal... finding things that help me create simple romantic tablescapes is truly a joy...

The fun and the magic is contagious...
 
Those little enjoyable moments at home... doing just what I love... happy moments... moments that fill my world and make me want to hold onto them forever... What makes you happy? Please share your thoughts... and don't forget to link back to The house in the roses, this way other can come here and enjoy our party too! Thank You.

  2. I feel exactly the same way. Your photos always inspire me. I too would rather be home than anywhere else in the world.

  4. Oh- I love your home and visitng you! I always, always smile.

    I have to tell you-I just read your post below about the man you met..and shaking his hand...the Moon People. I think you know I work in a large hospital..and when it is a full moon we always have extra people in the ER AND in the psych ward. Strange, but true..xo Diana

  12. I always want to just walk right thru the computer screen and plop myself down in your beautiful settings.

    Hooray for people who love their homes, and all that dwell within them!

  15. You've created a very lovely table vignette, Cielo.

    The simple pleasures of life are among my favorites - spending time with loved ones, sitting by an open fire while stargazing, etc.

    Thanks for hosting!
