The old timber cottage in the snow.
I honestly feel cooler just looking at this photo of an old cabin in the snow. I hope it's cooler at your house than it is at mine. Have a great fun weekend.
A Wall of Starfish Prints
I've always loved natural history prints. This collection of starfish antiquarian prints is very pleasing and so nicely arranged. I love the old pharmacy lamp too. I have one that is very similar only mine is for a desktop. Have a great weekend. I hope you find a starfish or two if you are doing any beachcombing.
