A 'coffee-colored Christmas'...

Image from Starbucks...

So, it has been a long, long time since I 'blogged in' - hah!

Soon, I will be posting all the good stuff that has been happening at 601 Echols - including the aptly named 'coffee colored Christmas' - which I have decided is going to be the color scheme for Christmas this year.

Rather than pull out all of the deco from storage, I grabbed some yarn from AC Moore and various other coffee-colored items and will be using that as our holiday theme for 2009. I figured that I would go simple, home-made, find-around-the-house, country (as in Pottery Barn, not fake-geese) Christmas.

I can't wait to post the pics (I suppose this would require the completion of the decorating and a whip around the house with a vacuum...hmmm).

But wait - there's more!

We bought....wait for it....hold on to your seats:

A....REAL.....CHRISTMAS.....TREE!

It actually requires water.

Oh yea...a true Christmas miracle.
