Today we’re celebrating my sweet husband’s 34th birthday. There’s not much time for chatting here, because there’s a couple of filet mignons on the grille, sweet potatoes baking in the oven, and a bottle of wine to polish off. I’m sure you understand :-)

Happy birthday, lovie. You’re the very best thing that ever was.

Rainy days and Mondays always get me down

Okay, not really. I quite enjoy rainy afternoons, and Mondays aren’t so bad either. But when they follow a holiday weekend that leaves me in a carbohydrate and tryptophan coma, they just make me want to crawl into bed with a steamy cup of tea and a good book.

I hope you all enjoyed your Thanksgiving! Ours was lovely. We spent lots of quality time with family that we don’t see nearly often enough, had a successful Black Friday at the shop, and spent all day yesterday eating leftovers and lounging around the house.

And now begins the crazy spiral toward Christmas. So much to do and so little time! Beginning with decorating the shop for the holiday, including two huge window displays (Pinterest inspiration, anyone?). I hear a legit cold front is heading our way this week, which always helps me get in the holiday spirit. {There’s something so wrong about trimming a tree in a sundress and flip-flops.}
