Downton Abbey Premiere

What a fun night!  I had some friends over to watch the premier of Downton Abbey.  It was great to watch the show as a group.  Of course, Scott was there too. He is another fan of the show.  I've been trying to get over my fear of hosting people at our home.  I used to do it more often but not so much lately. The house is usually in a state of flux and mess...one area gets cleaned up and the other is a shambles.  I cook but I'm not someone who considers themselves a fab cook either which can cause some doubt in hosting.  But I got over it and had so much fun. Even though we were in sweats, I thought it would be fun to use our china and create an inviting set up to go with a Downton premiere.  No cucumber sandwiches though.

I've always considered my home my haven away from the rest of the world.  But I also realize that sharing it with others brings its own blessings too.  In its simplicity, I am thankful for my home.
