Where the Fires Crackle & Hiss

Where the Fires Crackle & Hiss

It hasn't been snowing this Christmas where I am but it's been bitterly cold and we've all been snuggled up with hot water bottles in our Christmas sweaters with big Santa socks on to keep our feet warm. I simply love this time of year when everything is cold and chilled. It's so much more [...]

Christmas Time in the Morning

Christmas Time in the Morning

We've sort of had our Christmas morning early. This weekend we both received our gifts irl from each other and as the saying goes, great minds think alike, fools seldom differ! We both sent each other the same present...a rather nice bottle of Sloe Gin each! I'm saving some of mine to make Prosecco and [...]

The Nutcracker

The Nutcracker

I have been wanting to do a photo with this gorgeous ballerina set from Dead Doll since the moment I saw it....in fact I've done a couple because I wore it for the cover of one of my Advent Calendar vlogs that I have been doing with my friend Maria.  https://youtu.be/leIjNWcplLU Then yesterday I decided [...]

The Best Revenge is No Revenge

The Best Revenge is No Revenge

I have not watched the current season of The Crown...yet. I probably will but I think the recent death of The Queen has somewhat put me off diving into the most torrid and depressing time of British Royal History. At my grand old age I remember it all. It doesn't feel like long-ago history. I [...]

Tannenbaum opened today and there's lots of great decor and seasonal goodness to stop by and grab. Featured today are offerings from Nutmeg and Spruce from Tannenbaum [...]

Crisp Days with a Warm Friend

Crisp Days with a Warm Friend

I did a post earlier in the week about the gorgeous Christmas Memories region created by our friends Roxy and Cody Chronitis. I couldn't wait to go back there this weekend and take another photo! I think my new found joy of the season is part inspired by the confirmation that my daughter, my new [...]
