Cozy Snow Day

It was wonderful spending the ENTIRE day Monday sitting by the fire in the library reading my favorite blogs. I have fantasized about having a day to do nothing but be cozy indoors while the weather roared on outdoors....and I must say, it was as amazing as I had imagined! (We got a couple inches of snow on Sunday.)

Here is a picture of my fireplace in the library with the fire blazing. I converted my mantle to "winter" from Christmas with just a few easy adjustments. I bought the snow covered fruit and white pearl picks at Micheals at the after Christmas sales. I used them in my New Year's Eve tablescape. (I will also post a picture of it.) I found the adorable skates last year at TJ Maxx after Christmas, but never quite got them to work with my Christmas decorations, so I was super pleased they worked for my winterscape.

I apologize ahead of time for not being very "blog savvy" so how the pictures get uploaded and controlling where they go in relation to text is still new to me. I will also post a closeup picture of my mantle so you can see the cute little birdies I also got on clearance at Micheals. So, I will now post this and then go and pull the other pictures and continue my post with them....
