Hello sweet friends. Can you believe February 1st is one week from today? I have heard from many readers that January and February are their least favorite months. However, February is one of my favorites because I love Valentine’s Day, and best of all…Renaissance Man and I celebrate our anniversary in February!

“And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony.”
‭‭Colossians‬ ‭3:14‬ ‭

I am joining nineteen table stylists to bring you a Valentine’s Day Tablescape Blog Hop hosted by my talented friend, Rita from Panoply. You will find the links for all the beautiful Valentine’s Day table settings at the bottom of this post.

Sunshine Cottage has been reserved for a romantic table for two. I didn’t have any trouble getting reservations. We have a special chef for the evening, can you guess who? In case you are new here and might be wondering where is this cottage! Sunshine Cottage is my adult play house that I share with my two little granddaughters who love to play dolls, read books, have tea parties and spend the night parties. My sweetheart husband had it built for me in the summer of 2020. It has been a wonderful blessing for our girls and me.READ MORE

Happy Thursday sweet friends. I hope the first week of the new year is off to a good start. Several have asked if we received snow on Monday. There was snow accumulation all around us, even in our county, but we received zero. I was hoping because it is a big deal to see the white stuff in Alabama.

“Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good! Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him!”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭34:8‬

Merry greetings sweet friends. Have you finished decking the halls? I only have a little tweaking and I will be ready to enjoy the most wonderful time of the year.

If you are like me, I love fresh greenery during the Christmas season. My Renaissance Man has been cutting fresh pine and hand-making garland to surround our exterior doors for years. In case you missed the Sunshine Cottage dressed in its beautiful garland, you can see it here. He also cuts fresh Leyland Cypress for vignettes and our dining room chandelier.

However, I have never been able to talk RM into making a fresh centerpiece. No need to fret, Lynch Creek Farm to the rescue!
