Hello, I'm Katie
I'm Katie. Welcome to my blog. I am an empty nester meandering through my midlife years one page at a time. We sold our antique home on the South Shore of Massachusetts in October 2020 and relocated to the Dallas suburbs and our forever home.
I love to write about books, movies, TV, celebrities, shopping, decorating, Bravo, and weekend adventures. My favorite writing material, however, is derived from my family: the Mister, my girls, #1 and #2, my favorite son-in-law, and my new little mischief-maker, thoroughly darling Millie. I love hearing from my wonderful readers.

Pretty, pretty. I'm actually happy this food festival holiday is over, and ready to begin preparation for Christmas (including diet and exercise!) Nice inspiration.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! I love Williamsburg.....so elegant. This post reminds me that I need to get seriously busy with my Christmas decorations...I feel very behind looking at how many are DONE!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! I've kept all my Victoria Magazines and the Christmas issues are my favourite ones to reread. It never goes out of style.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely LOVE Williamsburg at Christmas...the Williamsburg Inn knows how to do it up right and it looks like this homeowner does as well. I am such a traditionalist - this is MY kind of home! Enjoy your day, my dear! xoxo
ReplyDeleteWilliamsburg brings so many thoughts of a historical holiday! Love seeing the clove studded oranges and lemons on display! Have a great week Katie!

Christmas is twice as nice in Williamsburg!
ReplyDeleteWhen I first opened the post, I just knew it was going to be your house all decorated - feeling less stressed that it was in a magazine. I just love Williamsburg - so beautiful! I'm finding myself looking more and more like the last image…
ReplyDeleteOh, love Williamsburg, very, very close to my birthplace, Newport News. Have family in Williamsburg and always love to go there. I love to see decorations like this but it just doesn't look like it can be "lived in" to me, so it will never happen at our house. :o)) Lovely post!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous...I love visiting Colonial Williamsburg, but have never been at Christmas. This is the next best thing...thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI love Williamsburg, especially at Christmas! We have been to the Grand Illuminations a couple of times. If you ever get the chance it's worth the trip down. And, Seasons is a lovely shop. Sounds like your Thanksgiving was a success! Have a great week Katie!
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful images you have selected Katie. I haven't been to Williamsburg in many years but it was impressive. I love the citrus studded with clove. I make those every year. Speaking of shopping, I have a great giveaway going on at Stylemindchic Lifestyle this week. A $50 gift card giveaway and one of the super luxurious satin pillowcases from Savvy Sleepers (Dale Janee). I met Dale last week when she visited from Switzerland. I hope you get a chance to stop by. Happy December to you my friend.

Now thats classic Christmas decor, love it! xo K
ReplyDeleteI love Christmas in Willismsburg too. Some of my favorite memories are of staying in a historic house in the village and touring the houses in December. Thanks for the beautiful house tour. I'll have to look for that magazine.
ReplyDeleteBonjour chère Katie! I would like to make the same beautiful pomanders but it is too difficult. I couldn't comment your Thanksgiving post yesterday but your pictures with your daughters, your dogs and the snow are very nice. We spent the weekend with our children and I understand what you mean about sad goodbyes. But we are very blessed to have such families! Here in Paris it is cold and grey. I haven't brought any coat... Bonne journée, à bientôt!
ReplyDeleteI am drooling over all of that. Our family spent Christmas in Williamsburg several years ago and I have very fond memories! Victoria magazine is one of my favorites, the photographs are always amazing.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty and festive katie! I never see Victoria Magazine anymore. . I need to visit them via your link!
ReplyDeleteThat home gave me the same effect as well. The beauty of the decor is truly captivating, adding to the natural colonial elegance of the home. I love the four-poster bed! Thank you so much for sharing another wonderful post! All the best!
