Are you looking for warmth lately?  Our weather has actually been very nice for January.  I have heard that will end soon.  We shall see.  We don’t get to control the weather do we?  Anyway…I just wanted to share a little warmth with you today, farmhouse style.

I happened upon a beautiful wooden tray at Kirkland’s last weekend.  It just said “farmhousey” to me.  It was over on the clearance side…which was a huge plus to me.  The Mr. gave his okay…and that always makes me feel good about a purchase.  The Mr. and I are a team, in every way, so I like for us to be on the same page, especially with purchases.  Lands sakes….how did I get off on a Dave Ramseyish rabbit trail?  Any….way……..I loved the wooden tray.

Yesterday was a hard day.  Several things came up and I decided while I was in the grocery store…to buy myself some flowers.  I thought that a bit of cheer at the Farmhouse was definitely in order.  I love yellow all year, but especially in the middle of winter.  Sometimes you just have to make your own sunshine and create your own warmth.

I also picked up a couple of new candles at TJ Maxx last weekend.  If you don’t already know this….that is an amazing place to find candles.  I wound up with two of these Paddywax candles for the price that you would normally just pay for one.  They are soy….which I adore…and they smell amazing.  As you already know, candles are a great way to add warmth to your home.  I love the ambiance that they bring.

The light was so good in the dining room this morning. ( I am such a newbie in the photography department…but it’s on my list for this year.)  I tried to not doctor these up too much…so that you could feel what I felt.  The warmth was incredible.

I hope that wherever you are today, sweet Dirt Roaders, that you feel warmth.  Warmth…especially in the times of winter, is a very good thing.

Love from the dirt road,
