Thank You <3 

my best of...

I hope everyone had a chance to relax a little new years day.

I managed to catch up on a little reading of my favorite blogs .  Thought I'd chirp in with a  few of my own "Best of 2009." 

One of the things I found to be a 'best' was holiday shopping on etsy.  Oh, and a few, were gifts I received!  Awesome items from amazingly talented sellers and the personal service could not be beat.

Happy Winter Solstice ~ Thank You Giveaway

I have been wanting to get back to this long lost blog for awhile now.  Each morning, I put it on my list of must dos. Each evening, it seems that is the thing that is not checked off  (well, one of the things). I find lately there are so many thing I'd like to share with you, my mind gets cluttered with all of it.

What better day for Solsticehome to start, but the Winter Solstice. A celebration in recognition of rebirth, gatherings are valued for emotional comfort,  and having something to look forward to at the darkest time of the year.

To celebrate this rebirth and to thank you...my followers.  I'm having a winter solstice giveaway!
