I am feeling much better now that the added stress of the holidays is behind us. Prayers and blessings to you as you deal with this first year without your mom and aunt.

I would love it if you would share this post at my blog party, Every Room In The House. It's a month long party, with this month's theme room being The Kitchen. Here's the link: http://www.ajoyfulcottage.com/2014/01/every-room-in-house-party-1.html -- I hope you'll party with us. Happy New Year!

Your blue and white is perfect for a winter look. I plan to look back to see your red and brown collections. <br />I, too, am grieving this holiday season. Lost my mom on Thanksgiving morning and then two weeks later, my aunt. It's been a roller coaster of emotions, but I've found comfort in the twinkle of the lights on the tree and across the mantel. I'll be sad to pack it all away in the next day or so. I'm sorry for your loss. My mom and aunt had both lived long, full lives, but I suspect your brother was a young man. It's not easy to say goodbye no matter what the age, but the loss of a young person seems sadder. Take care………..Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01873375271470225199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7459400132166733757.post-89125914885699107802013-12-30T12:13:01.060-06:002013-12-30T12:13:01.060-06:00I really love the blue and white dishes mixed with...I really love the blue and white dishes mixed with your white everywhere else too!

The principal of my old school (I retired last June) told me that my classroom had more arrangements than any other room in the school.<br /><br />I wondered why your Christmas was sad so I read backwards. I am glad you made it through Christmas and I totally understand your sadness. My father-in-law passed away the first year we were married on Thanksgiving. My father too died on Thanksgiving 17 years ago. The next year my husband's mother died on Christmas. I told my mother I would never forgive her if she died on Christmas. The holidays are difficult in so many ways and then to add the sadness of grief makes it so hard. <br /><br />I hope 2014 proves to be a happy year for you.Art and Sandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09070124859845536964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7459400132166733757.post-45943873175209408452013-12-29T00:08:47.133-06:002013-12-29T00:08:47.133-06:00So beautiful!

I don't have nearly as much as you do, but maybe someday, I will use it again. Even before you said you said you thought it would look all cool and wintery, that's exactly what I was thinking. It looks so pretty against all of your white cabinets. I love that you can change your color scheme so easily. I am SO bad at changing anything around. But you are inspiring me Katie, to at least think about it! Wishing you peace in the new year.
