It is so cold here, and we have so much snow. I’m jumping straight to spring decorating! Already packing away the heavy winter linens and breaking out the light, airy ones.

I think pine cones are totally transitional after Christmas!! At least mine are still out!

Kimba – I love the candle in the window idea. Not many people do that here in NW but my peeps in the South do. Every year DH and I argue over when he takes the Christmas lights down. If I had my way he’d leave them up until Easter but he’s afraid people will talk. I just love how warm & cheerful it is to drive up and have the house lit up ~ especially during a Seattle winter where it rains for weeks on end.

I’m going right out to get electric candles and timers. This way DH can take down the lights and I can come home to a cozy looking little house. Thanks for the great idea(s)!

Holy Cow. I love those twine snowmen. I don’t have twine, but as a knitter I have tons of yarn. Hmmm, wonder what I can make today to keep a little wintery in my house>

I just packed up Christmas as well, but am considering pulling some red berries out.

I want to use pinecones… but I can’t find any! Where can a gal get some pinecones?

Since my Sound Man wanted ALL of the Christmas stuff down last year (including the snowmen…what’s up with that?) after Christmas, I didn’t even try to decorate, except one wooden snowflake that I demanded (okay, asked nicely) if it could stay out. It’s very pretty. And makes the little table it sits on very winter-y. -y. : )

Gonna miss you at Blissdom but can’t WAIT for Relevant! Woo hoo!

I filled my 3 apothecary jars with 3 different kinds of fake snow/ mini styrofoam balls and added a mini pine tree (from the Christmas village) for a little snow scene.
I also added my mini stocking caps (yesterday’s DIY link) and some silver snowflakes to my white painted tree limbs for my winter mantle. Hmm… I think I need to do a post on this.

For winter I always leave up my garlands on my mantel and piano…plus the kids small trees. Then I bring out snowflakes, a “snow” glittered letters banner and some blue and silver items to mix it. I like to save all the snowman themed stuff and snowflakes for the time between Christmas and Valentines day. So in a nutshell, lots of silver, blue, white and sparkle with some winter greens thrown in.

I recycled some of my Christmas items for a winter centerpiece including pinecones. Everything else is gone, gone, gone!

I usually pull out the snow/snowmen things after Christmas but since we just moved at Thanksgiving, I decided to pull down Christmas and try to get the regular “stuff” put up. But I have to admit that right now it looks like hurricane season here!!

Thank you so much! I appreciate your help. I was testing out a new plug-in for my blog and I couldn’t figure out if it was working.

Hi there! I saw your post on twitter and am happy to help. As for the blog post, I live in So Cal where it is 75 degrees today. Snowman look odd hanging around my house.

I really love the uncluttered look after all the Christmas “stuff,” so I don’t usually decorate for Winter! (although right now the new toys are cluttering up the house)

I love the pine cones, though, and I also like to decorate with coffee beans in glass candle holders.

Mine seem to stay in place without a problem…unless the kids knock them over or something…which happens all the time.

I did, however, see something at the craft store that you wrapped around the candle and then closed in the window that held them in place. I can’t remember what they were called but they sold them with all the electric candles.
