Ten Things That Make Me Happy

Please stop by Caitlin's beautiful blog Sacramento Street where I'm sharing ten things that make me happy!

Après Ski

I was scrolling through my inspiration folder when I stumbled upon this cozy winter escape. The wood ceiling recreates the feel of a stylish ski lodge while black walls balance out the abundant natural light. Task lighting draws attention to a well-curated book collection that would be delightful to thumb through on a chilly December day. Comfy upholstered furniture, pretty piles of firewood, and plenty of blankets and pillows make it the ideal place to curl up with a good read. By the way, do I spy a window seat? Now I'm really in love.

Countdown To Christmas

I am home for the holidays and needless to say getting a very late start on Christmas preparations! I'll be spending the weekend holed up indoors to escape the bitter cold and hopefully to get a little online shopping done. This game plan calls for lots of vanilla latté drinking, puppy cuddling, and perhaps a little seasonal baking!

P.S. Those of you who follow me on Twitter know that one of our puppies, Fenway, has been a very sick little guy for the past week. Thanks to your well wishes, he is now back from the ICU and making a slow but steady recovery in the comfort of our home. I truly cannot thank you enough. Have a wonderful weekend!
