Brown, silver and grey

Hello, everyone!  I really missed you all over the holiday.......I hope you had a lovely together time with your loved ones and lots of yummy turkey and all the other traditional foods, too!  We were away for a little over a week visiting family.  Loved being with them, but I'm glad to get back to normal.  We arrived last night with a few neighbors' Christmas lights to welcome us home, and I was instantly switched over to Christmas mode!  So I've changed my blog a bit to reflect that.  This week we will put up our tree, decorate a bit inside, and put our Christmas candles in all the windows - love the welcoming feel they give at this time of year.

The Play Date Cafe challenge has given us another challenging set of colors: brown, grey and silver.  I almost didn't try, but I'm glad I did......once again, I really like the results once I played a little with these colors; they are so calming together, and I hope I chose the right theme to reflect this.  Here is my submission for this week:
