Click here to watch a cute little “video” of snapshots of how to make a terrarium from Snug Harbor Farm. I finally found where I put my glass jars so I will definitely try making some again this spring. I definitely want those cute little mushrooms for mine!

Check out this simple but gorgeous bouquet of daffodils on Project Wedding by frolic’s Chelsea Fuss. Makes me so excited for spring to see these in my garden!

Found a new (to me) letterpress studio: Low Country Press (via simple + pretty). Lots of cute stuff! Excited to see what’s to come.

Some of the recent visitors to the feeder this week. This pair have been coming together every time.

Just some of the recent updates to Emerson Merrick’s Flowers Flickr set. Such gorgeous arrangements and colors, especially compared to the same-old dozen red Valentine’s roses. Drool-worthy, indeed.

This gorgeous cloche is making me so excited for spring! It could also be the weekly blizzards, nor’easters, and storms that keep dumping snow on us… so this looks very tempting to purchase indeed!

We stayed in Vermont for our 5 year anniversary (as a couple, not being married) and 5 years later, we returned. It better not be another 5 years before we go back again! This was our only Christmas gift to each other this past holiday: a quick getaway somewhere in New England during the winter and this place was absolutely perfect. As much as I love B&B’s, I really wanted to go away and be completely alone: alone with my husband and alone in the woods. We both needed major “downtime” and we definitely were able to do just that. We brought all our own food and cooked all our meals, read books and magazines, rested and slept in, watched movies, relaxed and sat around listening to music, and I even worked a little (yes, it’s crazy but I was desperate for no wifi and no distractions to get some work done!). It was heaven on earth and I felt like I was living in White Christmas. It proved to be too cold for us to really venture out (we had plans to try snowshoeing), but I just couldn’t get past the subzero temperatures. Now I can say I really know what -15 F feels like! Thankfully, our cozy little log cabin was warm and comfortable the entire time. I realized it really is possible to completely, truly relax (even a “type A person” like me can, something I didn’t think possible)… although it all goes away when you get back home. It pains me to think it’s over and past already, I really wish we had spent longer up in our home-away-from-home. I’m so thankful though that we had the chance to go.

I won’t be back in this space till next Wednesday when I return from a few nights away in Vermont with my husband. We decided to forgo Christmas gifts for each other this past holiday and instead do a weekend away together in January or February instead. We found a good deal on a little log cabin and we’re going to squirrel ourselves away in the snow. We might try snowshoeing for the first time, but the weather is suppose to be frigid… On one of the days the high will be -2 F (the low will be -14!) so I’m not sure how much we’ll get out. I’m just so excited to get away from the norm for a few days and sit by a fire!
See you next Wednesday and happy weekend.

Hooray! It took a while but finally found out this afternoon that I won’t be going into work at all. Thank goodness for snow days! I feel like a kid again. I haven’t had a real one in quite some time.
Here’s some images what I woke up to this morning. The woods is absolutely breathtaking after a big snow storm and I love the stillness.
We’re going to be getting a Nor’easter tomorrow with 12-15 inches and 40-60 mph winds and I’m crossing my fingers and toes for a snow day! It would be lovely to stay home with my husband, have a yummy breakfast, stay in my pj’s all day, go for a walk in the new snow, and get some work done. Praying to the snow day gods…
