MAKEUP FOR MATURE SKIN

Are you all most ready For Christmas? I finally finished my baking and wrapping yesterday. Last night we got together with my husbands family. It was nice seeing everyone,unfortunately we only see them once or twice a year if we are lucky. I am looking forward to spending time with more friends and family. I will be sharing a few new posts. And then looking back at the best of for this past year. I have lots planned for the coming year,and some exciting news to share along the way. I want to thank each and everyone of you for following White Lace Cottage. Through this blog I have met many amazing friends. And many I have never met I still consider my friends. I invite you into my home and life,as I would with any friend. So I want to wish you and your family a Merry ... View Post

Today I am sharing my holiday master bedroom as part of the home for the holidays tour. Since I am a part of so many tours this year I have been sharing a room with each tour. For the past few years I have wanted a white tree in our bedroom. I found the perfect tree at Walmart! My vintage shabby ornaments look perfect on this white tree,and the lights are so pretty. They have a soft pastel color. Do you wrap your presents in a special spot of your home? I wrap gifts in our bedroom,I don't know why but I always have. I guess it's the only spot in our house where I can close the door and really have privacy. And you need privacy when wrapping gifts for your family :-) I kept my old garden gate on this wall,it makes the perfect backdrop for my tree. I made my tree skirt this ... View Post

I know I was listing what's new in the shop on Thursdays but I am a little off schedule because of the holiday. I will get back on schedule after Christmas. The shop will be closing on December 19th until after the 1st of the new year, so if you see something you like grab it now. First up is this lovely set of dishes,I have had these for many years and swore I would never part with them. But they have been sitting tucked away in a cabinet not really being enjoyed. This lovely set screams Shabby Chic with the perfect shade of pink and that gorgeous rose. One of the things I fell for with this set was the cups. I have never seen a shape like that,and the handle too! I am selling this all as a set because I am sure who ever purchases this set will want the whole set. I ... View Post

Ever since I started blogging and sharing my home via holiday tour I have linked up to Jennifer Rizzo's house walk. I am a part of many home tours this year so many of you have probably seen my home. But I also know that many of you may not have and I am sharing another room today. This year I decided to many of my ornaments starting with this tree. Stars were traced using a cookie cutter on a sheet of silver poster board,and sprinkled with German glass glitter. I also made the paper tree garland,and no sew tree skirt. You will notice on my holiday home decor is pretty simple. My tree's are the main attraction,then I add fresh wreaths and greens into the mix too! I don't like rearranging and putting my favorite pieces away,instead I add key pieces to my decor. This vintage ... View Post

I am thrilled to be a part of the holiday mantle tour. Our fireplace mantel in the family room is our main focus. It is off to the side but it still makes quite a statement when you walk into the room. I love the smell of fresh greens in my home this time of the year. We do have artificial trees,but I splurge a little of fresh greens. This year I collaborated with Lynch Creek Farms and was given this amazing garland. My mantel is quite small so I can't go crazy with too many pieces on it. But it's okay because I really do like to keep things pretty simple. And I don't like changing everything in my home either just for the holiday season. I just changed my mantle a few months ago and still love the mirror and gate. So instead of taking everything down I decided to keep those ... View Post
