I thought I'd go through my phone and post photos that came out ok. There's a little bit of everything here. Even a heart shaped puddle. Thank you all for sticking with me even when I wasn't here. Wishing you all a healthy and peaceful new year!

ReplyDeleteSuch great photos Janet. Love seeing you- your style always classic and classy.
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful it all is. It is always a pleasure to see your gorgeous home and your unique personal style. Happy New Year.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful treat, thank you for these lovely photos. I always love your fashion photos as I often gain so much inspiration. The heart puddle is so sweet and the striped ruffle pillow looks so fresh. I often read through your blog when insomnia strikes as it has such a calming effect on me. Wishing you a joyous and peaceful happy new year!
ReplyDeleteI love your style, both in clothing and decorating. You really do inspire me!
ReplyDeleteHi Janet, you look as stylish as ever! I do miss your fashion/style posts, but it looks like you are still in the game. :0) Your photos are always a delight to see. Hope you had a lovely Christmas with the family, wishing you a very Happy New Year!

ReplyDeleteWonderful pictures! Beautiful human & home!
ReplyDeleteHow lovely to see this post today! Happy New Year! I always enjoy the outfit posts and your home is so calm and peaceful. the bread looks delicious! Darby
ReplyDeleteA lovely collection of images! I love the wallpaper in your bedroom. Blue and white are found almost everywhere in my home. Happy New Year to you, Janet.
ReplyDeleteFirst off, you are looking just beautiful! I think your Style Words should be Gentlewoman Classic Retro Preppy. Some mix of those. You have the best casual elegance, very natural yet put together. Thanks for sharing photos of your look; like others I always enjoyed your fashion posts. Actually, you could have done a post for every photo here, just the photo plus a bit of the story behind your things. I love your wallpapers, and how fresh you manage to make your home each season, with just a few changes. "Maurice" ended up in the bathroom! I like it. Long ago we had a vintage picture of the Queen above our toilet. No disrespect; she just looked really good there :-)
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year Janet!

ReplyDeleteSo glad to see all these photos! Your bedroom is beautiful as is all of your house and gardens! Love seeing your style, both fashion and decorating. I agree with another commenter that you could write a post for each of the photos. Thank you for posting and best wishes in the new year.
ReplyDeleteAnother post so soon?!? What a treat! So many beautiful photos....Thank you, Janet!
ReplyDeleteSo happy to see your post with these lovely photos. Would love to know about your facial and body skincare. Are you still using olive or avocado oil? Would also love to see your recipes and fashion and always more home and garden!
ReplyDeletethank you! i currently use coconut oil for my facial moisturizer!
DeleteJanet, Thank you for the post of beautiful and calming photos. I love the blue and white bedroom wallpaper. Your home is so pretty and seems to be a refuge for you. I had lost touch with your site and am very glad to find it again. You inspired me to shop vintage clothing and while I am not as stylish as you I have a great time thrifting. Sherry B
ReplyDeleteNice to see you and I really like the outfits you put together. I am a big fan of white cotton nightgowns. I have even managed to find a full length/long sleeved version for winter.
ReplyDeleteI was thinking of you recently. It is lovely to have you back. Wishing you a bright, healthy and tranquil 2025.
ReplyDeleteI follow your guidance annually and look to pass along or discard 100 items at the beginning of each year that doesn't serve my needs or goals any longer. Its nice to refine the items that help me and remove the clutter that often distracts. Its a nice lesson to my young son too on the importance of sharing and passing along quality items. Happy New Year.
ReplyDeleteYou look beautiful in every photo, Janet. And as always, your bedroom inspires me to do a little decluttering.
ReplyDeleteA Happy New Year, Janet. I wish you good health and contentment.
ReplyDeleteYour post is inspirational as usual. I love the photos of your home and they suggest changes I can make to mine. Thank you. Looking forward to reading more about how you live your simplified lifestyle.
Have a Well New Year, Janet. Think of you a lot in your calm little paradise. x

ReplyDeleteGreetings from up the coast in Santa Cruz. I join in with the hoorays, so happy to see you posting. My friends have a saying about specific houses (Nancy Meyers .... ;c) "I could move right in". I feel that way about yours, every little thing is just perfecto. Hope 2025 is off to a good start for you.
ReplyDeletewhat a lovely compliment! xo
DeleteJust went to your blog and saw this post! Happy New Year! Hope we see more of your inspiring posts in 2025!
