Show Off Your Cottage Monday

Hello to you! And welcome to another "SHOW OFF YOUR COTTAGE MONDAY", a blog party I host at the beginning of each week to celebrate the things we love about our homes and how we live. If you're new here, thanks for stopping by and if you've visited before, thanks for returning!
The House in the Roses
Now’s the time to find joy in the little things. Dash outdoors to count the seasons’ first snowflakes. Decorate your Christmas tree. Sip cocoa. Bake cookies. And breathe in the aromas of cinnamon and cloves and evergreen boughs. This is December at its best. Have you decorated your nest for the holidays yet? Need some ideas? Well, here is some inspiration from last year! Can't wait to see what you have this year! Enjoy!

Christmas tree from Kathy, at A Delightsome Life

Christmas tree from dear Gayla, at Oatmeal and Whimsy

Christmas tree from Wendy (doesn't have a blog).

Christmas tree from Kit, at A mountain life

Christmas tree from Paulette, at Summerland Cottage

Christmas tree from Ricki Jill

Christmas tree from Brenda, at Cozy little house Christmas tree from Sandra, at The veranda house

Christmas tree from Sheila, at Note Songs Christmas tree, from Cathy at Acorn hollow
And of course, I too had to show you around my house! We don't decorate much for Christmas and our tree is small, but we're never too grownup to feel a thrill as we light our small Christmas tree!
Can't wait to see what you've been doing this week! Last week was another fantastic party! I am enjoying seeing all the creative ideas and projects you are sharing!

Rules: Link your post, not the main page of your blog. Please include a link to the party or the party's button in your post. Celebrate life and see how others celebrate theirs by visiting!

You have so well expressed the best of this time of the year - there is great joy filled with sights, sounds and smells! I am going to cherish each moment! Thank you for hosting and being the Delightsome Lady you are!

    Beautiful images here. I went to visit a couple of new blogs! I hope you are having a blessed season so far. We are very busy with new baby, a two year old, and a recovering Mom at our house for a few weeks. Busy- but happy- xo Diana

    Hi I love seeing the trees and thanks for hosting. Your decorations are very pretty.

    I am having trouble making your link on my blog work -- I have done it about six times, but I keep getting an error message. It is exactly right, so I don't know what the problem is. I will check it again after I throw in another load of laundry!
