Home

a quick view


I am joining in a lovely Monday Celebration of our homes, our cottages
hosted by ~ The House In The Roses. "Show off your cottage Mondays"

Home for me has been a very important word and place for me. As I have
raised my family I have tried to create a place that is rejuvenating, safe...
a place where the batteries can be re-charged form busy, fun, exciting and
challenging days. Even during renovation and up-keep projects that my
husband and I do often together.

Where even with a busy family there is always someone to say goodbye
and hello to you :)

A place for me to find some quiet time for reading.

A home that is filled with all of our love in so many
different ways.

I wish you a very wonderful, loving Monday.

Hugs,
Mary

Mary, I loved this! It's obvious to me that your home is a haven. I love everything from your kitty in the window (so cute) to your reading chair and environs with the soft palette.

Happy Cottage Monday...

From one Mary to another, I want to tell you that I can feel that love you share in your beautiful home, coming right through the computer. No doubt, your family finds great comfort in living in such a beautiful and giving home, because of what you desire for them and for their surroundings. Your post touched me...I will visit again!

God bless,
Mary

I so agree with you, Mary. Home needs to be your "soft place to fall." Thank you for the wonderful photos. I just love the Halloween garland on the mantle. :)

I loved seeing photos of your beautiful home.
I agree with you, a home should be a safe and happy place to come home to.
