Christmas Touches and Day 4 of the 'Tis the Season Christmas Home Tour

Hello World!  I thought I would show you a little of my Christmas decor that will not be on the tour.  Also, next week, I will be sharing the upstairs Playroom tree and the Village.  

 I've decided to leave our Christmas dishes out on the table.  Easy to get to and they're pretty.  

 Mr.  Rooster is making another appearance deck out with some Christmas finery.  How do you like my festive pail filled with Christmas napkins and dishes?  

 I love the happy accident of the sun spot on the above picture.  

 Christmas Tree candle flanked by Santa and Snowman salt and pepper shakers. 

 My pretty lamp sitting on and end table sharing its light.  

 Rustic wooden tree and snowman.  

 Pinecones, ornaments and greenery make a petty display.  

 Some of my favorite colors. 

 The entryway china hutch garland.  

 There's a peek of the dining room Christmas tree.  

 Looking through the china hutch at more Christmas decor that you will see up close on the Christmas Home tour on Saturday.  

 The blue and white wreath that resides on the pantry door.  

Look at that bad cat!  Nothing got broken...thank goodness.  But, it was funny.  This is Misty.  Yes, she is a new cat.  I think we have become a home for wayward cats.  Misty and the kitten Cozette have become great friends.  Camille was not too excited to have another cat in the house.  But, all are adjusting.  Now for some sad news.  We are still at three cats.  Colette, the mama cat is no longer with us.  After she had weaned the kittens, we took her in to get her spayed.  She did fine through the surgery and a week after her surgery she went outside several times to explore.  I believe she was an inside/outside cat prior to coming to our house and was an inside/outside cat while she was pregnant.  After she gave birth we kept her inside since she had gone back into heat.  The day I let her out she came back three different times.  On the fourth time, she never came back.  We were so sad for little Cozette.  But, then Misty showed up.  So crazy.  It's been a couple of months since Colette left us.  I still look for her when I'm out in the neighborhood.  Hopefully, if she had a home prior to coming to our house, she went back there.  

Oh, and despite little Misty's romp through the Christmas tree, she is the sweetest cat.  She has adopted Mr. Dedicated as her human.  

Alright, enough of the home for wayward cats.  Let's get to the Christmas Home tour for today. 

For the 4th Stop on the 'Tis the Season head on over to:

Cozy Little House

Thank you, my loves for the visit!  Anything Blue Friday will be live tomorrow morning!  Have a grand day and remember to be kind to one another!  Fear Not!

Toodles,
Kathryn
