Goodness and Light
COULDN’T WE ALL USE MORE GOODNESS AND LIGHT IN OUR LIVES? It may not be possible to control the state of the world at large, but we can influence the ambience within our four walls, and Christmas time is the perfect time to bring in goodness and light.
We traveled the country to peek inside homes glimmering with gorgeous décor, from snow-laced homes in Connecticut and Massachusetts, to sunny California, the plains of Kansas and the heart of Dixie, Alabama. These ladies sure know how to make a welcoming, festive home, and we know you’ll find ideas to try in your own home.
We also loaded up our shopping guide for all the guys and gals on your list along with the couples in your life and those who love the sea. (page 24) Peek inside Liz Marie Galvan’s new book, Cozy White Cottage Seasons: 100
Ways to Be Cozy All Year Long, (page 120), and save the recipes for yummy sugar cookies and buttercream frosting from baker Emily Hutchinson in our In Season story (page 19). And don’t miss the reveal of our 2021 Project House studio bathroom, outdoor patio area and super charming potting shed. (page 110)
And last, but not at all least, feast your eyes on the gorgeous Christmas tree of our 2021 Brand Ambassador, Toni Mogensen, in the final column of her ambassador tenure (page 10). She also shares her sparkly dining room tablescape, including free printables that you can download from our website. (page 106)
Toni has been an absolute dream as our first-ever Ambassador, and we are deeply grateful for her tireless and enthusiastic dedication to the role. Don’t be surprised if you see her in special assignments on our pages in the future. Thank you, sweet Toni!
And stay tuned, as our 2022 Brand Ambassador, Kara Williams, will be introduced in our February/March issue.
We hope you have a cozy, light-filled holiday season full of the goodness you so deserve.
Cheers and blessings,
