All your decorations look lovely! It seems quite bizarre to be decorating in such wonderful heat and sunlight – I am sure that it all looks quite different! Just grey, damp, and short days here – as you well remember, I am sure.

Hi Sarah!
Well it was just meant to be that I popped over today! I’ve been struggling with how to decorate our new home…with all of this WHITE!
In Alabama we lived in a little cottage…everything vintage…red cozy sofa…lots of black toile.
Our Christmas decorations were just lovely…so magical in that little cottage.
This past weekend I pulled them all out.
Most of the decorations are vintage…but with red and green and lots of silver and glitter.
My big decision:
Do I want to bring all of that color into my white and grey?
Or…do I want to just pack it all back up and save it.
I would really adore for the tree to just be the major sparkle…and then tie white bows onto fir branches and place vintage balls in shells and such.
I love what you are doing with your decor…collecting those little gems off the beach is just my style! I love driftwood!
Can’t wait to see it all placed!
And would love to see your tree.
I subscribed as a reader today so now I can follow you daily!
I have long loved this beautiful blog!
XXOOXX
woops…sorry so long!

I’ve been using seaside treasures from our many walks on the beaches to decorate Sea Cottage for Christmas for three years now. I think the whites of shells and driftwood give a sense of calm wintry comfort to our home…and yours too.

So a green tree? I loved your white one from last year. Do you still have it?

Hi Laura,
Thanks so much for linking to 2nd Time Around!

I love your blog…haven’t visited in awhile…everything looks so professional!

Your beach finds are wonderful, and look so ‘wintery’!

Decorating with found objects is so eco-chic. I love it. And I think your finds are gorgeous. You’re living my dream with a cottage on the ocean. Maybe someday. In the meantime, I’ll just keep living vicariously through you! Thanks for a great site.

I think you should enlarge and frame that stunning picture of the waves.

Sarah,
I love the blog today! Of course, I love it EVERYDAY! I went back to last December 1 and was reading about the Christmas thongs…I,too, grew up calling them ‘thongs’…my daughters have called them flip-flops and really think it is funny to call them ‘thongs’! The first time my girls said they were buying ‘thongs’ I wondered why they didn’t come home with shoes! Oh well, just shows my age! Have a great time decorating your cottage for Christmas…and I liked your white tree, but a green one can fit just as well in the ‘beach theme’!
Hugs across the pond,
Deb P

What a fun time to spend with the littlest kiddo. Some one on one time is perfect – making such wonderful lifelong memories.
