Farmhouse 5540

So I wanted to share with you the other hand made presents that I received for Christmas this year. One of them being the wooden caddy/tote that Neal made me seen on the kitchen table. He always does such a great job of paying attention to what I have been favoriting on Etsy and pinning on Pinterest. This year he saw that I had favorited some tool carrier type totes and decided he would just make me one instead of buying it. I have a couple store bought carriers like this but nothing beats…

I know I say it all of the time but keeping it simple is priority number one, this time of year of is so busy for us and I love having a cozy uncluttered farmhouse to come home to.
