Winter Mantel with Buffalo Print Plates


Hello everyone,
We are continuing our tour of My Cozy Corner.
January is whisking by and I want to move into the living room for a look
at the mantel decorated for the Winter months... The last time you
stopped by I shared with you my favorite room.  Go Here.
Our living room is where we live most of time.
 Our home has four bedrooms and two baths.
 We have a large country kitchen and dining room combination
with windows to see all the outside acitivity.
Now that El Nino has hit Northern California it has been raining for
most of January. We are enjoying watching the football playoffs
and of course Downton Abby on Sunday night.
Now to share my Winter Mantel.
During 2015 I used decorative plates on my mantel.
During Christmas I had a pair of adorable deer plates on the mantel Go Here 
 I am going to continue the decorative plate theme this year.
I plan to have these red and black buffalo print plates until March.
I think they will work for the month of February.
The red ribbon on the wreath and the red bands
around the fir trees looks very festive.
WISHES OR DREAMS?
I dream about taking a trip and dream about the summer garden. 
I wish my family and friends good health, happiness  and prosperity. 
 Today I am so blessed to have a wonderful hobby of blogging. 
The boxwood wreath is my January wreath. I added a new red bow this year.
About a week after Christmas I went shopping and found some great deals.
All the holiday things were on sale at Pier 1.
I found two faux fir trees in the cans for 50% off. 
The buffalo plates were on sale at Rite Aid for $2.00 dollars each.
 I love when I have an idea and it falls into place.
I have some vignettes and pillows to share
with you in a few days.  I hope you come back
 and see my cute pillow I received as a gift
from my granddaughters.  They helped G'pa buy gifts this year.
 I scored.

I hope you come back soon.
Joyously,
Betty

Tea Time in the Guest Room


Hello everyone,
Our home is back together after the December decorating frenzy.
I love having our house more cozy starting the New Year.
I showed you my Winter Wreath HERE.
And now let's move into the the house and take
 a look at the guest room. (you know my favorite room).
 You ask why is this my favorite room?  Well,
 every afternoon at four o'clock I come into my favorite
 room to read or rest for a hour before I start dinner.
 I bring my tea cup and saucer and my newest favorite book.
 As you know my husband and I are retired.
 In our living room it's very cozy with a fireplace and a
 BIG chair for my husband to recline and watch TV.  I love my time
 alone to reflect, read or dream for an hour a day.
I moved the bed and added a new comforter and shams.
To see before GO HERE I added a little table to
put my tea cup and saucer and a place for my tea pot
 or my book and glasses. I found this vintage tea cup at the
thrift store. The little flowers in the tea cup are beautiful.
The blue lace handkerchief was my mothers.
 I can't remember where I found the  blue and yellow tea cozy.
While I was taking the photos I was dreaming of painting this room.
 It needs to painted and new carpet installed.
I might get to this room sometime this fall.
I put the comforter over the bedspread and added a neck pillow
and my little lamb from Williamsburg, Virginia.
The comforter and shams I found at the thrift shop for $12.00 dollars.
Do you like the comforter completely covering the bed or 
the comforter at the bottom of the bed?
Shelley Tea Cup and Saucer
My romantic guest room in the afternoon.
The vintage mirror with the candles on it
 was my paternal grandmother's keepsake...
I found the 'Lenten Rose' blooms and two daffodils in the garden.
It is pouring rain and I looked out and saw two lonely yellow daffodils
standing in a wet and soggy flower bed.

Thank you for visiting My Cozy Corner and
I hope you have a wonderful weekend.
Joyously,
Betty

A New Year's Wreath


Hello everyone,
Happy New Year to you all. Today is the 7th day of January and I have
taken all the Christmas decorations down. Now I will store them
away in the garage for another year.

2015 was an exciting and interesting year at
My Cozy Corner
I know 2016 will bring more interesting and joyful things too.
Today it has been raining all day...I am so grateful to see the rain pouring down the gutters, washing down the streets and soaking my flower garden  
Here in Northern California we can use every drop we get.
I designed this Winter wreath with the the stormy weather in mind.
Sometimes the wind blows so hard I might go outside one morning
and my wreath blown down the street. 
This Winter wreath is simple and expresses the stark look of winter.
A simple bow 
And a few pinecones.


Wired ribbon wrapped around a metal wreath frame. 
Some grape vines tied to the wreath. 
Hopefully it will safe on the porch for a month or so.

I am ready to get this blogging year started.
The front porch is decorated so now I'll go into the
the house and start creating a cozy home for
 Sweetheart and me.
Please stay warm and cozy.
Joyously,
Betty
