Five Star Frou-Frou #32...A Simple Life...

 

 

Hello dear friends, and Merry Christmas!

 

This will be the last Five Star Frou-Frou for the year, as we will be celebrating with family and taking a well earned rest until mid January. So, I will be leaving this linkup here, open ended, for you to add to as often as you like, visiting friends and spreading good cheer, until we return.

 

Tell me honestly...do you sometimes look at the homes of other bloggers, especially at this time of the year, and just feel overwhelmed? I know I do. I mean, I admire it and all, but not only do I not aspire to that sort of over the top décor, but it's not practical for a regular family. Or not my family at least!

 

I've been focusing on a simpler time this Christmas, as you would know if you've been following along on my Orchids on your Budget series. So in line with those thoughts, my features this week, really are all about simplicity.

 

Above we have another gorgeous post from Meg at My Vintage Life. Meg always strikes the right note between lavish and homespun, in much the same way that my good friend Annabel does over at The Bluebirds are Nesting. Funnily enough, Meg and Annabel live not far from one another! Check out Megs post and take note that her décor and festive decorations are simple, yet warm, welcoming and beautiful....

 

   Nellie at Nellies Cozy Place always humbles me with her Thankful Posts, and this one is no exception. She's sharing some of her past Christmas table settings, and they're all so elegant and well...doable, that I couldn't resist sharing them.     And finally, Mary at In the Boondocks, likewise shows us a sensible, earthy, family oriented Christmas décor that just oozes warmth and tranquility.   I want to thank you all for your support, love and good wishes this year. I am so appreciative, and wish you all a Blessed and Peaceful Christmas and a new year filled with love and surprises of the best kind....Mimi xxx
