Tis The Season Christmas Home Tour

I am so excited to be participating with a wonderful group of blogger's today for a Christmas Home Tour. I would love for you to step into my cottage and have a nice slice of coffee cake and a lovely cup of coffee or tea. We are very casual here at the cottage but we hope you can feel the warmth and love as we welcome you here today.
My very special thanks to our hostess for the tour

Welcome To Miz Helen's Country Cottage
Tis The Season!


The Christmas Tree Is Sitting In An Antique Crock
An Antique Print Is Reflected In Back Of The Tree
One Of My Favorite Antique Wing Back Chairs Is Next To The Tree.

You Are Right It Is A Screen Door With A Number On Top
All Of Our Bedrooms Are Numbered So If You Are A Guest,
 You Can Remember Where You Sleep.
We Love Our Screen Doors!



Our Family Coffee Table Is Over 35 years Old and
Our Kids Grew Up Around This Table.
 It Was An Antique Farm Table That We Cut Down To Make A Coffee Table.

The Table Is Large Enough To Display Some Of The Christmas Bells,
Some Of My Favorite Christmas Books From Our Collection,
Topped By A Christmas Tea Pot.
The Paper Whites In The Wooden Planter Box
Will Be Blooming Just In Time For Christmas Day.





We Love Reading These Books Every Christmas Season.
