The presents are opened and the cookies eaten. Our homes are decorated and we’re exhausted. But even with all we’ve had to do this season, it’s been a joyful time. Through all the busyness and chaos, this is the time of year we focus on our family and friends. And what a blessing that is. From Thanksgiving to Christmas and finally New Years I hope that your holidays have been joyful and blessed. And I’m sending happy holiday wishes your way.

I want to share a few of the views of the holidays from Pinecone Cottage Retreat. From my front porch to the porch of my garden shed and the house in-between. Here are a few of my favorite scenes. They are a mix of old and new. Old containers and ornaments blended with new items such as dishware and wall signs.
