A Country French New Year

It’s almost New Year’s Eve and the end of another strange year. Like many of you, my plans are small but I will be celebrating the end of 2021 for sure! There will be no elaborate dinner...just immediate family. Sooo... I decided to share my New Year's tablescape from several years ago instead. It's one of my favorite posts from my Country French design series and it definitely has a French accent! It's rustic and simple and stars lots of texture with a generous helping of frenchiness!

Merry Christmas from My Home to Yours

So I want to thank each of you for your love and support and send my best wishes for a wonderful holiday full of peace, love and joy spent with your loved ones!

From our home to yours…wishing a very merry Christmas and the happiest of holiday seasons to you and your family!
