Even though I utterly cannot stand the cold ~ there is something about January that just warms my heart. Maybe its the quiet stillness after the snow storms, or the soft fading sunlight shadows or just the fact that life's hectic pace slows down ever so slightly. I know for sure that I am practically giddy at putting away all the Holiday glitz and getting a clean slate back.
I literally just put the last of the Christmas decor boxes into the basement and did a little jig as I finished. Then, I whistled as I polished the bare wood dining room table that I haven't seen in 50 days or more. At some point during the course of the year, piles will build up, I will bring home way to many cute things from the flea and scatter them about empty tables and shelves and dust bunnies will run rampant. But just for now, I will savor the soft January filtered sunlight spilling across my lemony scented not so cluttered spaces.

ReplyDeleteHi Adrianne!! I am so sorry we haven't called you guys. I feel like I am adrift and need an anchor tied to my feet so I can stop. Happy belated to Pearson. we hope his day was special. Did you get my email? love you.
ReplyDeleteI know the feeling of having stuff cluttered around when you just come home from a fleamarket, auction, or antique shop. I guess it goes along with the biz! Your table and displays are great.
