I love all your pictures, your collections, and all the fantastic details of your home. Seasonal decorations fascinate me and I'm always finding any holiday I can to give me an excuse to decorate. I look forward to seeing more of your beautiful home and ideas.
Wow! Beautiful house! I love Dept. 56 too! What a cute idea to set them up in a cabinet.

It's gorgeous. Very unlike anything we have in Arizona. What a wonderful change for you.
Beautiful Home, I love your Village too :) It will be fun to see the Halloween Village, looking forward to that!

I am a closet Dept 56 Village collector too!! I am green with envy over your collections and your "secret" places where you keep them....GGRRR...Very lovely!!
What a pretty home Jessi!! I had to laugh when you were showing the before's and after's!! LOL So cute!! Heather
Just stunning!!! That fron entryway is incredible.
Banana nut bread! Mmmm .. what a yummy scent!
Love the secret spaces with their hidden villages! :)
First of all, the exterior of your house is GORGEOUS!! So grand!!
Secondly, I LOVE your house collection. (I have one too, but they are ones I paint, so I don't have nearly as many! :)
I just love little villages; it's like being transported into a little magical world.
I am just like you with the candles. I will probably never in my lifetime burn all the candles I have, but I am sucked into buying new with all the wonderful scents. I'm the same with bath&body lotions and such. I could open a store! LOL!!
:)
very beautiful and I love all the country style pieces. I also love keepers of the light. They are the best candles! Hugs,Angelina
Jessi your home is just gorgeous! I can smell the Bannana nut bread from my house! LOL! That is sooo cool that you collect Dept 56. I collect the Halloween villages. Your home looks sooo warm cozy and inviting. Thanks for sharing,and cant wait to meet you in person at Silver Bella!

Love your home, I am a sucker for homes with columns. So pretty. I wish I could make myself little and come to play at your little villages. We collect the dept 56 Halloween villages. I can't wait to put them up when we move in on Fri. Are you going to Silver Bella? I just got a spot and I am super excited.
Just beautiful!!!! I love smells too!!!
