. thinking of blooms .

... the tinsel and wrapping and trimming have barely been

hidden away and am already thinking of blooms and the lightest of hues.

not quite sure what it is about the beginning of each year...

it just seems that only growth and change is present.

hope you are having a lovely start to your new year!

♥

. happy new year .

sincerely hope you kicked up your heels this

holiday season and are having the most

fabulous new year...

there has been a certain beautiful shade of blue box,

and delightful layered dish, and the most inspiring

colors as the vision of 2013.

much to share...but for today,

 Happy New Year!!

♥

. two lovely weeks .

... quite hard to believe that christmas eve is exactly two weeks 

away, with nearly all gifts to buy...

it is going to be a whirlwind of shopping, ribbons, bows,

and tags. hope you are on the tail end and can

enjoy these last lovely weeks of magic.

happy monday!

. a feast for kings * copper .

as the week of thanksgiving is here... (the loveliest of holidays)!!

time to prepare for a feast of turkey, and sweet potatoes, and mother's

famous dressing, and lemon meringue pie, and more...

or shall we just say a feast for kings.

♥

. monday, monday * bonjour .

...hello, and after some busy busy days, in the need of a little 

fashion inspiration.  with temperatures dipping into the teens this

weekend, it is time to think of cashmere, wool, chunky knit,

and one of my true loves... fur.

let's see what beautiful things can be found this year...

. weekend weekend * chocolate & comfort .

 ...and friday rolls along again, a weekend at home

sounds entirely lovely.  most definately a fire to linger by and

savoring homemade hot chocolate... in the most wonderful 

jade-ite mugs hidden away in the cupboard.

happy weekend.
