Making January Merry & Bright!
I don't know about you but after the Holidays are over January leaves me feeling a bit depressed. It's still winter, cold & dreary, with know holiday to look forward to... So I decided to add some cheeriness to my home.
 
Fresh Flowers...these always brighten my day and lighten my mood no matter what season! I go these Poppies from New Season's Market...I probably should have gone for a brighter color for optimal cheeriness, but there was something about these that drew me to them!

Potted Plants or Herbs ...I needed some sage for cooking, I went for the potted variety instead...and in a small way it seems to be really lifting my mood!
 
Lighting some candles...not only is the flame warm and cheery but the fragrance lifts the spirits too!
This one is probably a bit out of season though!

In addition to these 3 things I've strung fairy lights above my bed and added a tea/coffee bar to my kitchen counter... it's gonna be winter for awhile yet, may as well enjoy it!:)
