Under a Blue Moon

Decor, cooking, organization, all the pretty things

Waiting

Ozzie_294

The house is all sparkly clean, the guest rooms ready and now we’re just in that giddy, waiting for the actual guests to arrive, state.

My sister Kate, her husband Robert and my Dad are all coming up for the night.  Kate and I have plans to hit up Pottery World (local to Granite Bay, sorry rest of the world…) and feast our eyes on the Christmas displays.  This place goes over the top.  I wonder if they would let me take pictures….probably not. 

The house was smelling a bit closed up so I opened all the bedrooms windows and about ten minutes later our neighbor started burning brush and stinked up the place.  So I closed everything back up and lit candles instead.  Yankee Candle’s Country Linen is the candle you need if you want your house to smell all fresh and clean.  It’s not dryer-sheet smelling like a lot of linen scented candles.  Just nice and fresh.

There – that’s my housekeeping tip of the day.  Happy weekend everyone.

Instagram post 2340488496363792013_13069943 I ran out of day (and daylight) to take a real photo so you get a pithy saying instead.  Happy weekend! You are all dear to me. Just thought you should know that.
