Christmas 2008: Country Home

At Christmastime, I always look forward to seeing this magazine hit the newsstands. I'm not a fan of "straight up country", but they usually have some feature in December that makes the issue more than worth purchasing.

This year, they've done a marvelous spread on a vintage theme, incorporating my perennial favorite -- polka dots! The combination of the festive red with the light aqua green background is interesting, too.

Call me inspired.

And what would Christmas be without a pup in the stocking? Why, it wouldn't be Christmas at all. Not in my book.
