Christmas eve eve...

 

It is really here and I am finally all the way ready... I think..

Just a bit of shopping for all of the baking that we have planned and a little bit of shipping and off we go.  I am not sure how much time I will have to visit the blog over the next few days so I wanted to make sure that I wish you a very happy and wonderful holiday!  I hope you have time to spend with everyone you hold dear!

Merry Christmas eve eve!

Winter...

 

Welcome to Winter!  How amazing to run down a chilly tree lined path... or ski on vintage skis.  

I hope you are having a wonderful weekend... relax and enjoy as much as possible.

Masculine winter...

 

This space makes me want to start up that fire and pour a glass of wine.  I love that it has an air of mystery, what is up above?  How tall are the ceilings really?  It is pretty amazing!

Has fall turned cold finally for you?  We are finally starting to feel it here in California and I am glad for the change.
