I was reminded today that there are just 3 weeks until Christmas so it's time to decorate, if that's your thing. There are many really beautiful homes dressed for Christmas being shown on blogs - and the most spectacular has to be sweet Pat's at Back Porch Musings.
Pat's gorgeous home has been chosen for the Old Painted Cottage 'Cottage of the Month' award - go here to see it. If ever a warm and loving home deserved this award, Pat's certainly does.
The runners up are wonderful too - be sure to visit and view them following Pat's pictures - perhaps they won't mind if we borrow some decorating ideas!

ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your beautiful touches of gold. So many of us bloggers seem to be singing 'Deck the Halls...' this year on our blogs. I am still plugging away on mine. Are you finished now? Have you put up a tree?
ReplyDeleteI am off to look at the link you have provided and then it is going to be an early night's sleep for me.

Wow, I certainly got behind in reading here. I adore every single one of your touches of gold. I think your home could be featured in a shelter magazine.
