♡I wouldn't change a thing.♡
How was this photo taken?
The room looks small and it would have been quite a challenge for the photographer or the camera on a tripod to keep from getting in the photo. Good job!

Vintage Ice Skates and Some History
I wish they still made ice skates like this that attached to some sturdy shoes or boots. I was never very good but enjoyed my early days of venturing out on the ice. Don't you love this illustration?
I enjoyed the article where I found it and learned a lot I never knew about The History of Ice and Figure Skating.
Thomas Heeremans, 1641–1694.
A winter landscape with figures skating and sledging on a frozen moat by a fortified town.
Enjoy. xo

Fine Woodworking: Wonderful Hall Closet
This hall closet is stunning. I would love to open the doors and see how the interiors are fitted. The far left door probably has shelves and the double doors have the hanging space and storage above which would probably require a ladder because of the high ceiling. It's interesting that the crown moulding was not extended around the rest of the hallway. I love fine woodworking and it's hard to find a carpenter with these skills. xo

Mark Edwards: Waiting for The Key
The contemporary paintings of British artist Mark Edwards are so mysterious and I find them quite fascinating and surreal.
This one is called Waiting for the key.
I found one website that has many articles about this artist.
Another website shows current art for sale and sold works too.
Enjoy the first Sunday of 2022. xo

Flourless Muffins and A 1945 Movie
I used my last banana this morning in a smoothie but when I go to the market again I will definitely make these muffins. I need carrots too.
It has been overcast with gray skies for days here.
Yesterday I decided to look for
A TREE GROWS IN BROOKLYN
movie to watch and found it on YouTube. I have always thought of this as a Christmas Movie but that must be a well-kept secret because you never see it offered anywhere. I streamed it from my laptop to my TV using Chromecast but I would have been just as happy watching it on my computer.
It was free had had no commercials.
Here's the link:
Bookmark it if you want to watch later.
ENJOY!

Scandinavian Christmas DIY Ideas for Next Year
I love the simplicity of these architectural gingerbread cookies in a skyline arrangement.
Who wouldn't love a gingerbread house hanging on the rim of a cup filled with hot cocoa?
You wouldn't even need a pattern for this A-Frame gingerbread house! Start looking for a large heart-shaped cookie cutter. You could do the triangles from a paper pattern in the scale of the hearts ending with rounded ones at the entrance. More ideas here.
If you leave your Christmas decorations up until
12th night, you might still want to keep
baking and making! xo

I learned so many things I did not know about Shakespeare's family life. When he married Anne Hathaway in 1582, he was 18 and she was 26!
Read more about his early life in this article.
Enjoy!
