Precious Things of Winter

It's a snowy Sunday morning here in the Midwest and I'm listening to a little Tori Amos, thinking about all the precious things in my life. I am so thankful for everything around me. I have a wonderful family, a loving and supportive husband who is not only the love of my life but also my best friend, by far the bestest friends a girl could ever ask for. Yes, I would say that I am a very lucky girl and I try my very best to never take any of it for granted.

This morning I thought I would share some winter pictures with you and some of my favorite Christmas ornaments. A couple years ago, my mother gave me the family's antique ornaments. I know it was very hard for her to part with them and I can't thank her enough. I love and cherish every one of them. Along with my families ornaments, my dear friend Octavia was kind enough to share a couple of her Gram's ornaments with me. I hope she knows just how much I truly appreciate her thoughtful gift. I am very proud to honor her Gram on my tree this year and many years to come.

And here is the other ornament from OP. Adorable!

This year I decided to add some of my antique kitchen utensil collection to the tree.
