Fern Creek Cottage: December 2009

my favorite thing

My favorite Christmas present this year was this metal cloche my son Grant gave me. I just love the rustic brown color and the leaves at the top. I love the pedestal and that it's metal. For now I've stuck a silk herb plant underneath, but I am open for suggestions. Let me know what you think would look cute inside.

Grant also gave me this great rooster tray. I guess I've been a good girl this year!!!

Edited to add: For those of you who have been asking Grant got the cloche from Homegoods.

shiny and new

Look up. Look up. Look up.
Look at my beautiful new blog header!!! My wonderful friend Sarah put this together for me. Didn't she do an awesome job!! She used photos that I took on a trip to England seven years ago and a font from www.kevinandamanda.com/fonts
Boy, am I blessed to have this girl as my friend!
Thank-you Sarah!!!!!
