Linky Party 4 Winter Ideas to Cozy Up Your Home & Wardrobe

Hello friends! It’s been pretty quiet around the Kottage lately, as I’ve just finished packing up all my Christmas decorations. I don’t really have any great tips on packing it all away—other than taking photos of what I packed inside each container. This helps me next year when I’m looking for that certain box of Christmas goodies. As much as I would love to organize everything into matching, labeled bins, after all these years, I’ve come to accept my mismatched storage system. Who knows, maybe one day I’ll tackle it, but for now, I make do.

Let’s take one more look at how cozy the house looked when it was all decked out for the holidays before moving on to the fun stuff—this week’s highlights!
