We plan on keeping things simple.

Bonjour! Enjoy your time decorating and getting ready for Christmas. I took a copy of your postcard, I love the message, I may use it on my own blog. Happy decorating!
I already love what you have shown of your simple Christmas. I look forward to more.
Hugs!

those are sooo neat!!
I am loving those ornaments ~ I cannot wait to see them on your tree.
What a beautiful card. I haven't pulled out near as much as I should (even if it's to give some away!)

We also decided to take the simpler approach to our Christmas decor.
Already, there is a sense of Holiday Peace in our tiny home.
I hope the same happens for you.

Well have a ball putting up the tree and getting into the Christmas spirit! Love this time of year, doesn't last long enough for me...xoxo~Kathy @ Sweey Up-North Mornings...
I hope to put up our tree this week. Your blog and photo's are lovely!
I long to do simple and always start out that way, but then I get glitter in my eyes and it's whoa Nelly!

Pretties! Come and see me sometime!
Hi, Laura ... doesn't seem like my comment "took" ... lol! was just trying to tell you that I think the card is wonderful ... and will probably be made into a gift tag for my MIL. Also love the straw ornaments .... anyone in your family Scandinavian?
hugs and have a super week!

Isn't this just one of the best parts of Christmas, Laura. I love decorating the tree and the house. I like to keep things simple too. I love your vintage Christmas card. I have a few. Why is it that the things from the past hold so much magic ?
Have fun decorating your tree. XXXX
Thanks for the post card scan! I love old postcards, especially the Christmas ones!
Thank you for that lovely picture, which I hope to use on our family's Christmas website! What a kind gift.
Hello Laura
Putting up the Christmas tree is something that I always look forward to but this year we are going away to stay with family so no tree in our house this year...
Have fun decorating!
Warm wishes

Dearest Laura, I also like this kind of tree-decoration, it reminds me to my childhood when we tinkered straw-stars! And thank you very much for your vintage poscard - I think I will decorate a matchbox with this design! Hugs, Traude
Have fun decorating this weekend. Simple is my mantra this year as well. I plan on decorating enough to "say" Christmas but not too much that it drives me crazy getting everything out (and then knowing I have to put it all away!)

"Avec peu on peut vivre le présent à l'infini.".. it's one of my favourites; We too are doing simple this year. Even my wreath is pared down. It feels peaceful... MY TREE CAME! and now I can decorate it tonight to the gleeful caroling of my wee three! Tis the season to be jolly...
Pretty, pretty, Laura! It's always so peaceful here at your site! I really appreciate it, esp. during this hectic time. Although I do love decorating for the holidays.
I've got an award for you and 52 Flea, hope you'll stop by to accept it.
Have a great weekend.

Happy Holidays

I can't wait to see what you do! We are going to be pretty simple here to.
