last bits of christmas

i have packed away the last of the decorations.

this santa candle was a "secret santa" gift in 2nd grade {circa 1977}.
the silver dish is from mary ~ i love how it works for every season.
and, of course i must have books.

wreath inspiration from dawn.

it takes me longer than most people to

sufficiently "recover" from christmas.

{or recover from anything, for that matter...}

here's hoping all this clean-up

equals a more productive week.
