I’m not putting out too many decorations this year, but just received these two incredibly cute bunny cutouts so it was easier to put them out than put them away.

Started these on my first day of social distancing/working from home last week and finally had a chance (and was in the mood) to finish them up.

My Best Nine of 2019

Again almost half of my top posts are from my February class at the John C Campbell Folk School with JoAnn Kelly Catsos. And two of my most liked posts are of baskets by Alice Ogden, with my most popular post being one I shared of Alice's baskets via Martha Stewart's Instagram.

I should have included this pic of the bottom of the 2019 Alice Ogden ornament basket. It’s gorgeous on its own.
