From our house to yours
Hi everyone! We’ve made it to the end of one of the hardest years in memory. I’ll be closing down the blog to rest until after the new year, but first I wanted to take a minute to thank you all for sticking with the writers in your life, and for continuing to make books a part of the lives of children and families. Here are a few shots from our house in Virginia, which I’ve been decorating with mostly found, simple things. In case you’re interested, I also got ideas from DIY sites like this one and this one to make the candyland display. Nothing says holidays like a three-foot lollipop…
- Found pinecones and some old ornaments were perfect
- A mix of natural and silk plants to bling up the doorway
- Dollar Store materials for a giant Candyland
- The finished result along the side of our house
- Remembering my mother-in-law who made all those wreaths more than 20 years ago.
Wishing you and your family a new year that is filled with peace and health and, above all, one that is free from want and anxiety.
Cariños siempre,
Meg
