Creating A Cozy Christmas


Welcome To
~ Creating a Cozy Christmas ~

If you hopped over from my friend, Cecelia @
My Thrift Store Addiction, I know you are feeling inspired.
Cecilia always has fun vintage or thrifty finds to share, and her holiday projects using upcycled thrifty finds is a perfect example.  

This is the 3rd year of the 
Cozy At Christmas Blog Hop
Thank you to Katie @ Let's Add Sprinkles 
for organizing this hop each year.


  You can read my previous Cozy At Christmas 
posts here and here.

Cozy, the adjective
enjoying or affording warmth and ease
marked by or providing contentment or comfort

Each Christmas our tree is decorated with lots of
Courtly Check and Tartan.

A look around our home this time of year, 
yields a touch of tartan scattered about.

~ A Parade of Cozy Christmas Tartan ~
No words needed. 
 Let the piping begin!













It's almost December and time to start thinking about Christmas. 
Have you begun your holiday decorating?  How do you create a feeling of coziness during the holidays?
I'd love to hear your ideas.

Sadie and I hope you enjoyed our little parade of
Cozy Christmas Tartan
Perhaps a photo or two has inspired you to add a touch of
tartan to your own cozy holiday home?

Next up is Amber @ Follow the Yellow Brick Home.  
Amber has a natural flair for designing cozy spaces 
with vintage style on a budget. Hop on over to see 
Amber's Cozy At Christmas vignettes.

  1. Sarah, I always enjoy a parade of cozy tartan! I love seeing your curated collections, no matter what the season and I have tartan napkin ring envy whenever I see them. '-) Sweet Sadie with her tartan collar is the perfect ending to your parade. I’m ready to add some cozy touches for December but had a prelit Christmas tree malfunction so I’m off to a slow-ho-ho start.♥

  3. I love all your tartan and CC, Sarah, and of course, your sweet picture of Sadie. I LOVE the pillow with the buttons and spool of thread as the tree holder.
    I'm so enjoying the gingerbread, and shared a cottage of it with Cissy, my granddaughter, just yesterday. She loved it, too!

  13. You have so many cozy and charming Christmas decorations and I love them all. The chocolate mold display looks good enough to eat! I put up my trees this weekend, but ran out of steam before putting out all the other goodies. You've inspired me to get back at it!

  21. Love all your tartan, Sarah! So pretty and festive and cheerful!! I have that same Mary Englebreit book and it has so many good ideas in it ~ I do love her style and would love to have gone to one of her shops when they were open. I pinned a bunch of photos for you, especially Miss Sadie. She's a cutie and poses so nicely! :0)' Happy to be on the Create a Cozy Christmas blog tour with you this year.

    Happy Christmas to you,
    Hugs and blessings,

  22. Oh dear, Sarah, we could be sisters! We have so many things in common in our leanings for collections! Just catching up on unread posts after decorating most of this past week, I have several of the same items gathered and showcased in my holiday vignettes. I love all the tartans, silver and MKC items, needlepoints too. It's such a wonderful time to layer with abandon, inside and outside as well. I enjoyed your way of making cozy for Christmas!
