Mr. and Mrs. Gingerbread

Unisex cookie cutters, the decorations determine their gender. I love the tartan plate and I would welcome a swig of that eggnog right now. Adorable holiday cookies found here.

Fox Door Handle

Someone should start reproducing this wonderful hand-wrought figural door handle so I can have one. via

Mother Nature did a great job of adding the finishing touch of snow. So lovely. via

Blue and White Breakfast Room Love

There no words for this charming decor. Every detail is perfect. I'm especially fond of the fabric used on the Roman shade. I'm quite sure I have this identical table cloth and now I want to look for it. The sun is out today and I'm feeling a little better. Thanks for all of your well wishes. xo

My First Cold in Years and Years

I've been so proud of myself for longer than I can remember, keeping the cold germs from penetrating my good health. All that went out the window on Sunday night when I started going hoarse and felt a tightening in my chest. The sore throat part started on Tuesday. It's sort of a backward cold and I am treating it with the Neti pot, various gargles wuth salt, Bragg's Cider Vinegar, and anything else I can think of, all to no avail. This was the best image I could find on Google to illustrate my condition. I even broke down and bought Nyquil yesterday and it wasn't all that effective but I do feel rested this morning. I am hoping for a whole day without having to leave the house on this rainy day. Cross your fingers for me. Not complaining, just explaining. I know it's been at least 6 years since my last cold, maybe longer. Darn!

Fabulous Early American Dining Room

This must be a wonderful room to feed and entertain family and friends before the open fire. Don't you love the beautiful stonework inside the firebox? I wish I could see more. via
