Friday Happiness

The sun put in an appearance yesterday afternoon, so I took a few pictures around our house. It's feeling really Christmas-y in here, these days.

We don't have enough space in the livingroom for the tree, but I like this better: we can see it from every room downstairs.

That's a deep fryer basket there, a gift from Stephanie last Christmas. I love the way the perforations give the illusion of a floral pattern. Candlelight spills out through all of those little holes. Come to think of it, the little vintage globe is from Pretty Funny, too.

The girls learned to make these incredible snowflakes in seventh grade math. Is this what they mean by the new math?

The piano, or, my makeshift mantel. Notice no more candycanes out in the dotty jar. I wised up, fast.

Looks like a drunken sailor hung the lights, huh? I like them this way.

We are off this morning to race a snowstorm up to New Paltz, for a few days of (computer-free)bliss: Fun, rest, and foodfoodfood. I wouldn't trade it for anything. Although I will say, I'll miss curling up in our little house during the first real snow of the winter.

I'm sure I'll get another chance, soon enough.

Enjoy your weekend. Thanks for reading.
