I haven’t posted much in the house-lover category lately. In a way I feel like there isn’t an inch of this house you haven’t already seen. Still, when I heard my sister was doing a mantel linky at her place today, it felt like a great springy thing to do. So even though most of you have seen this mantel countless times, here it is again.

For more mantel inspiration, visit my sister at Nesting Place.

I love home. I would (almost always) rather stay home than go out. For a few weeks, I wanted to document glimpses of this place where we do life and would love for you to join me. It’s not about sharing our decor with each other, though I’m sure that will come out. The point is to keep it short, take a photo of a detail that says home to you, and share your glimpse. That is all.

I wasn’t going to have a linky but then my sister told me about this image linky that works the same way as the others and thought it might be fun to try it out. So I’m taking a risk at being that girl with all the linkys this week. Still, I look forward to seeing what home is for you.

I love the idea of doing a 365 project where you take a photo everyday. Maybe next year I’ll discipline myself to do that. One thing I’ve been doing in place of that is to take snapshots of home, of the familiar corners and quiet spaces that make up these walls where we do life. The memories captured and framed out on shelves, the faded pillow fabrics and even the overflowing toy baskets all make up this place where our souls to breathe, and its rhythm and pulse changes as we do. I don’t want to forget what it is now, so I plan to post glimpses of home on Fridays. Want to join me?
