It looks very good BTW. I followed them too and I got all the way to adding them onto my blog and then it all fell apart. She said that if I added a gadget under my old blog header I could just flip them and then delete the old one. I tried that but it just puts the new one AND the old one on at the same time. Do you have to delete the old one before you can put the new one in it's place? It's been driving me crazy..Thanks in advance..Happy Wednesday..JudyJudy at GoldCountryCottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10282585980012016892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271182300590181890.post-29120050654977243622013-02-26T23:00:09.380-05:002013-02-26T23:00:09.380-05:00Your home looks perfectly cozy for winter.

We are one degree above freezing so we are getting some rain now on top of the snow. Think I'll just stay in. Also loved the pic of your fire, I certainly wouldn't mind sitting in front of it for a while.

So happy the tutorial was of some help to you. I had to chuckle because we too have a 1970's house and fireplace so I feel your pain with rgard to the mantel. Our original mantel was nothing more than a thin piece of board. I wanted something more substantial so just this week my hubby is finishing up our new mantel and surround for the fireplace. Will be revealing it by the week's end. <br />Have a great day and enjoy your beautiful fireplace!<br />XO BarbaraBarbara @ 21 Rosemary Lanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01023629832665991534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271182300590181890.post-87067456366811691852013-02-26T13:06:46.825-05:002013-02-26T13:06:46.825-05:00Love your fireplace.

I did however purchase a electric/heater fireplace that I put into my little den and I love to be snuggled with a throw, with the fireplace on and watching TV. However it really doesn't get below 45 here in So CA., just chilly at night.<br />Love all you nutcrackers they look great.<br />I'm a new follower and have enjoyed your blog.<br />Regards,<br />MaryMary@mydogsmygardenandmaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03265174897498950754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271182300590181890.post-81751445737346232622013-02-26T12:52:18.810-05:002013-02-26T12:52:18.810-05:00I just love Seagrove.

My dad, my papaw and my niece went with me and we had a great time. And then this past Christmas I bought 2 more pottery mugs from them at the Christmas Show. They match and one is small. Just perfect for Tristan to have hot chocolate. I'd love to visit again and check out Westmoore Pottery. It looks like a neat place.Mandi @ Southern Gnomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05425705398173661625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271182300590181890.post-55751409663793340852013-02-26T12:50:44.704-05:002013-02-26T12:50:44.704-05:00Must be because it's cold that I just want to ...Must be because it's cold that I just want to curl up next to the fireplace.

Honestly, we don't usually have much for cold weather. This year has been an exception, but we've been to tuckered out to enjoy a fire. We just hit the hay.<br /><br />I love your mantel, no matter what the supposed best dressed mantels are wearing this season. (You make me laugh!) In fact, you make me want to go in the living room and play with my mantel now.

Would love to have a hot piece of cornbread! I like you love a fire but understand and feel the same way you do that it is messy and takes work.<br /><br />I love your winter mantel. Your nutcracker collection is impressive. They really have personality. I am afraid my mantel stays the same all year except at Christmas. I should try to turn over a new leaf.<br /><br />Your pottery pieces make a special statement and that you bought several pieces recently with your Christmas money tells me you really enjoy them. The workmanship and talent is so evident. Great that you have such good pottery shops nearby. <br />Collecting pottery could get expensive! I always enjoy your posts and learn something from each post.<br /><br /> It is supposed to stop raining by tomorrow. YEAH!!!!!!

I...What a lovely warm welcome to your blog Denise! I feel warmer already.<br />Great mantles too. We used to have an open fire but moved to gas when it eventually arrived in our village. I doubt if it's been burned more than 50 hours in total over the last 17 years (other than when it's serviced each year) as the heating is enough to keep warm by. We have discussed having a log-burner though as I really miss how cosy it used to be.<br />Have a great week - stay warm and well!<br />Rose H<br />xxRose H (UK)https://www.blogger.com/profile/03502158211136467582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271182300590181890.post-35036316887578423742013-02-25T15:49:05.032-05:002013-02-25T15:49:05.032-05:00Love your fire you have going!
