....all hearts go home for christmas....
.....but as you get older 'home' is not just returning to the parental nest....
.....you create your own home with your own children and family....
....but it's interesting to see how you take a little piece of those original surroundings with you....
.....and mirror them in your own way in your own home.....
.....like a comfort blanket I suppose.....
(a gorgeous vintagey quilty one perhaps......?)
......time to go home

(Don't worry mum....they are all still there!!)
Hello sweetie! What a beautiful post!!! It is wonderful you grew up around vintage pretties and have the same love your mum does! Her home is lovely and those quilts are amazing and the boxes too! Love the dreamy stitchery as well! Have a lovely day! Love and hugs, Paula xoxo
ReplyDeleteI used to always be travelling, and my heart sank when I reached home! Now I love being at home, I would still love to travel one day, but now I really appreciate home and what it means! :) x
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely looking home you've come from! Gorgeous quilts. Your mum wouldn't have missed just one would she?..

my mum didn't have quilts, but she always had tea and toast with strawberry jam, and I find in moments of crisis or cross-roads my heart goes straight back there- sitting at the table with its white cloth and willow pattern china, talking, nibbling, drinking, hugging, and realising whatever it was troubling had been shared, halved and probably solved.
ReplyDeleteThis season seems to shine a light on the gaps but "home" always remains with us one way or another

Lovely cosy photos. Im very blessed in that I now live just a couple of streets away from my darling Mum. She taught me my love of crafts and creativity, so we have a lot of shared interests.
