FEATHERED NEST FRIDAY ~ HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

It's a crazy busy time of year and the blogs are fairly quiet but

I am putting up Feathered Nest Friday early for any of you who would like to join in

and share and be inspired

The theme around blogland is

Year in Review!

So this week feel free to link up

anything and everything related to feathering your nest

& also your year in review posts if you have done them!

Sharing just a few photos of the beautiful peonies I found at Raleys.

I love their pretty ruffly pink against the weathered gray of the old bistro chairs

and the elegant curves of the little French clock.

I also shared a post of Favorite Before & Afters

Link away and have a Happy and safe New Years Eve!!

FEATHERED NEST FRIDAY

Twas the Thursday before Christmas

when all through the house

not a creature was stirring...

except the wild crazy woman trying to finish everything up

AT THE LAST MINUTE!!

:-/

Are your gifts all wrapped? The halls decked?

The cookies and pies baked?

Aye...

Not here.

Not even close.

I think I have wrapped 3 presents so far and they were small.

So I am sharing these gorgeous peonies

They are pretty, calm, sweet and serene

and they are blooming away in the kitchen.

Janet over at Shabbyfufu shared her peonies about a week ago

and I had BIG TIME peony envy.

I didn't think that they would have any here in California in December...

but thought I would check.

and low and behold...

they had just a few special random bunches of these beauties!

I love to add a bit of pink with the Holiday decorations

and these are perfect with the little cypress tree and boxwood

and a favorite vintage statue.

I know so many of my friends are out of town or busy with family this week-

but I am putting up the link party as usual for those of you who would like to join in.

If you are like me...

you didn't get HALF the Holiday posts done this year.

So...

this weeks Feathered Nest Friday party link will be extra long

and stay open through Wednesday!!

So come back over and share all your Christmas and Holiday posts,

recaps, house tours, etc.!

MERRY CHRISTMAS and HAPPY HOLIDAYS

to ALL of my blog friends out there!!

Wishing you all the blessings of the Season,

Peace and wonderful times with family and friends.

Onto the Recap from last week!

Vintage French Hen shared her holiday bedroom

FEATHERED NEST FRIDAY

I love these little faux sapling trees.

They are so tiny that you can tuck them anywhere for a bit of nature.

Originally this old drawer came from a local hardware store

The hardware store used it (and several others) for holding bits, screws,

washers, knobs, etc.

I thought those little trees might fit perfectly inside it...

Love it.

I feel like I am so behind on my decorations, shopping,

wrapping presents, etc. this year!

Is anyone else not finished with everything yet?

I am working in finishing up my Christmas decor in the kitchen

and as well...

I have 2 SUPER exciting giveaways coming your way!!

Oh my goodness...

I think you will love them both!

I am so excited!

(Click the photo to see the post)

So this week, I shared my bedroom dressed for Christmas

and I wanted to say Thank You for all your comments and love!

I appreciate them so much!

Last weeks edition of Feathered Nest Friday was all about Holiday Vignettes!

So many inspiring ideas!!

You guys have made me want to redecorate

EVERYTHING in my house like 50 times over!!

So much talent out there-

it was hard to pick just a few to highlight (as usual!)

and I am adding a couple extras this week!

Shabby Sweet Cottage shared this beautiful cloche

Dwellings- the heart of your home shared a vintage Christmas vignette.

Love Shabby French Cottage Christmas Cloche post!

Fishtail Cottage shared a darling little birdie in a nest.

It's Overflowing shared this gorgeous table setting

Shabby Fufu shared beautiful serene decorations

Prior shared this darling banner.
