How amazing would it be to have a little Valentine’s Day escape to Paris? In this little daydream, I scamper all over the city with my boy and pup in tow and we eat good food and take lots and lots of photos. If plane tickets aren’t in your budget this month don’t worry because [...]
Hello friends! I’m just popping in to send best wishes for a safe and happy new year your way. My New Year’s Eve was spend quietly and wonderfully. There was baking and knitting and dozy puppy and candles. Don’t worry, the puppy left the candles alone for the most part. I did have to move [...]
New Year’s Eve is inching closer and I don’t have any plans. I secretly hope my plans will include knitting, eating something tasting, watching Midnight in Paris, and being tucked up in bed not too long after midnight. Despite sounding like a little granny, if I were planning a little New Year’s soiree this year, I would [...]
Please excuse this week’s Wednesday Love for being extra homebody-ish, but it’s been a terrifically lazy week around here. We’ve had a few trips to the movies (I still want to see The Artist, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, and Tin Tin), knitting projects, lots of reading, and lots and lots of cups of Newport Coffee’s amazing [...]
There are so many must makes for this time of year and I thought I’d share two of my favorite Christmas recipes today. Hopfully you aren’t in too much of a sugar coma from the sweets that the holidays bring! The first recipe, well, I don’t have a good name for it. Growing up we [...]
Yesterday, was Christmas and it was a truly wonderful day. We got up not too early and I made coffee and Joel read the Christmas story and Cors sniffed at the presents that smelled like rawhide bones and tasty treats. We didn’t have a white Christmas but we had lovely soft lights and a nice [...]
I hope you have been enjoying a wonderful holiday with friends and family! This year (for the first time since we got married) Joel and I had Christmas at home. It’s always wonderful to see family, but I have to admit that this holiday at home was just what we needed. After a long crazy-busy, [...]
Today is my last day of work until the New Year. So exciting! So I wanted to bring in an edible office gift. Lottie + Doof has a wonderful 12 Days of Cookies series going on and day 5 was a recipe from Matthew Rice for Gooey Butter Cookies. Gooey Butter Cake is a St. [...]
Sunday afternoon, I kept slipping into an almost relaxed state when I would jump off the couch and rush around trying to figure out what schoolwork I needed to do. Being on break is going to take some getting use to! I’ve been making a little list of all the things I want to do: [...]
There’s nothing quite like the feeling of a brand new lip balm/eye shadow/you can fill in the blank with your favorite beauty item. This week’s (belated) Favorites post is all about things for that wonderful “new beautifying things” feeling. I picked out a bunch of lovely things, perfect for filling stockings of making a little [...]
I write about things I like: knitting, fashion, books, and other cozy, lovely things. Thanks for visiting!
