the snow fell through the night and as morning broke the day seemed to slow down before we even knew it.
we had quite a day ahead of us filled with commitments.
one by one those things were cancelled and a day playing in the snow and snuggling by the fire took their place.
the fire was started early this morning and will stay lit probably until bedtime.
many times as i stoke it i am reminded of how a fire place was one of the only things (other than a kitchen that could fit a cozy nook with a chair in it) that i required when buying a house.
after the settlement of our house 12 years ago this past december, we walked into our new home empty and full of promise, started a fire and ate a pizza on the bare hardwood floor.
a few things…
first i would like to thank kate from the bottom of my heart for a stellar job on this space here.
big hugs for all of your help and for knowing just what i like. xo
also i would like to say a hi to all of you.
thanks for stopping by and don’t be shy, i would love to hear from you.
although there is still a little work to be done, i now have a space that i truly love and am feeling more motivated and inspired to come here daily. i hope you will too.
thursdays are always a nice relaxing day of doing whatever comes next.
