MERRY CHRISTMAS!

It’s Christmas Eve! My very favorite day of the year! And before I sign off for a couple days with my family there are a few things I want to tell you…

First of all, THANK YOU for being part of the amazing StoneGable family! I am so so grateful for you!

You are wonderful! And so kind! Thank you for all the oh, so nice comments and emails and Instagram comments and Facebook ones too! You make my heart so full!

We have the sweetest community of friends, here at StoneGable! Your encouragement has meant more to me than you will ever know!

I get to do what I LOVE to do because of you! And this blog and all the other things that go along with it are because of you!

This year as I celebrate Christmas with my family I’ll be thinking of and praying for all of you!

May the Author of Christmas fill your hearts with peace that surpasses all understanding and joy that rises above any circumstance!

May your home be filled with light and life and hope and love! But mostly love!

Merry Christmas, my dear much-loved friends!

  49. Hi Vyonne! I put together a winter wonderland tablescape similar to yours with snow as a table runner. How long do you usually leave this type of tablescape displayed. My kitchen is my only dining area as we plan to purchase a bigger home as we are empty nesters. Should I leave it displayed until new years or put my round tray back on the table with the lantern, frosty tree and white dishes? Please give me some advise. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!.
