Post Covid Vaccine Oregon Coast Road Trip

I'm finally getting around to posting some photos of a trip I took with my husband last spring. We signed up early for our Covid vaccines last February and once they were effective, we were in the car and on the road to visit the Oregon Coast.

We were so happy to be out and about and on the road again after spending a year cooped up at home in Idaho. We missed the ocean so much, and being on the coast during a gale force storm was a fun and exciting experience for us.

A Tiny Cabin Christmas

Happy Holidays and welcome to our tiny cabin! 

Today, I'm bringing you some snowy cheer and sharing our holiday decor. 


Our downtown McCall holiday tree.








We bought our inexpensive little fake tree and some shiny ornaments a few years ago at our local drugstore. It's become a tradition for us to only use these decorations here because they don't take up much room and they fit snugly in one cardboard box for storage in our tiny cabin shed. 

And, somehow, they just seem to be suitable for our little 1950's retro cabin!





Our primitive hand carved bear bookends are from a local antique shop.


















Last summer we made a mantle for our fireplace. We love the coziness! 















I sewed our red flannel reindeer pillows with handmade pom poms years and years ago. They seemed to fit right in at our little cabin.



We look forward to making our bed with these snuggly Pottery Barn sheets from a few years ago each winter when it snows. 



This cute bear block print is a treasured gift made by my daughter when she was in college.













We're so glad you came to visit today, and we hope the rest of your winter is cozy and warm!
