christmas parlor...the present

the halls are decked...
today I'll invite you into the dining room and parlor.  








 Can you tell, I love my piano?







And the parlor
It has been so sunny here...not a bit of snow...
not so Christmas-ey 
but 
so very bright and cheery.
So you get bright and cheery 
pictures
instead of  warm and cozy ones.














I'll be back tomorrow with another room
I have to go exercise  now
too much carmelcorn going on here

  42. Your Christmas display is just beautiful. So many things that make me smile. I saw your piano at Vintage Inspiration Friday, and I had to come say hi. We just acquired a vintage piano last year with the same stool! :) I see a lot of other similar items floating around my house as you have in yours. Thanks so much for sharing!
