As 2014 comes to a close, I like to look back at the year to see what my readers enjoyed as a sort of guideline for the upcoming year. And I found a little bit of everything...tablescapes, DIY and copy cat projects and some tips on creating that Country French look without spending a lot of money! Sooo....here they are...the top ten posts that you, my readers, loved the most!

Bonne Année...A Country French New Year
I am so excited because it’s time for our monthly share from our Country French Design group…and this time the subject is tables! I have to confess that most of the tables in my home are family antiques and are not actually French. But since it’s almost New Year’s Eve I decided to share my tablescape which definitely has a French accent! It's rustic and simple and stars lots of texture with a generous helping of frenchiness!

My Christmas Hot Cocoa Station...That Doubles as a Centerpiece!
I have to admit that I have been admiring the hot cocoa stations that I have seen on other blogs…a special spot to keep all that you need to create a wonderful cup of hot cocoa…but I have such a small home that I couldn’t find a way to fit it into my kitchen. And then it dawned on me…why not use it as a Christmas centerpiece in the breakfast room? And my little idea began to take shape!

Pewter and Plaid Christmas Tablescape...with a Fun Christmas Tree Napkin Fold!
I am continuing my classic Christmas theme this year in the dining room with my pewter and plaid tablescape…two of my favorite elements that just say it’s holiday time to me! I have to admit that I love red and green for Christmas…and add some rustic touches of texture and the patina of old pewter and I am in!

20+ Cozy Christmas Pillows
If you know me, you know I can’t let a holiday pass without making a pillow to celebrate it! Sooo... I have gone through my collection to bring you all the pillows that I have created for Christmas. There is something for everyone…those who sew and those who do not, as well as free graphics included wherever necessary! Plus…I was excited when Hometalk asked me to curate a collection of Christmas pillows from their site as well. And best of all, it’s not too late because all of these pillows are super easy to make!

We are coming down to the final few weeks before Christmas and I have to admit that I will probably be working until the last minute to accomplish everything that I have planned! I am taking lots of time to spend with my grands since this will be the first Christmas where everyone understands. How about you? Are you ready? Well...if you are looking for inspiration, you have come to the right place! I look forward every week to seeing what you have to share...and even more than ever during this holiday season!

3-in-1 No-Sew Christmas Ornament/ Utensil Pocket/ Gift Card Holder
I’m so excited because it’s time to join one of my favorite groups…the No-Sew Showcase! And this time the theme is Christmas…just in time for some fun and easy ideas for the holidays! I am sharing a great little idea that can be used as an ornament, as a utensil pocket and as a gift card holder! Yes…each one of the projects pictured can be used three different ways…and you don’t have to be able to sew a stitch! Can you get any more useful or versatile than that? And even better…they are all very inexpensive to make!

Pottery Barn Inspired Faux Magnolia Wreath
I am excited to show you what I have been working on…my Pottery Barn inspired faux magnolia wreath. I love the look of magnolias and had a huge one in my yard as a child. They just say Christmas to me…but sadly, I don’t have one, or even access to one nowadays. I do, however, have a nice collection of faux magnolia stems. Sooo…
