We've been waiting for the temperatures to go below zero and the picturesque snow to fall so we can have some good photo opportunities while picking out our Christmas tree, but I don't think it's going to happen. We'll be navigating the mud as we pick out the perfect tree this weekend. Do you have your tree up?
Doing your best to eat your vegetables?
Me too, but I also wanted to show you this antique paisley tablecloth which I bought from
Ellie's Shop.

Care to see the drapes we installed in the foyer?

| Here they are open. |

| Here they are closed. |
I look like a green puffa marshmallow in my wool stuffed vest but I don't mind. It's from The Rose, a UK shop that sadly has closed.

Back in town I've been wearing my JCrew blazers from years past.
I'm a fan of houndstooth with leopard how about you?

We went to the country for a weekend of hiking in the mud (that had originally been planned for skiing- but never mind).
 |
| The food was decidedly vegetable-free. |
Having trouble sleeping? Me too, even with cozy flannel and all of the darkness typical for this time of year.
 |
| Insomnia, even with flannel coziness. Oh well. |
Cleaning like a maniac before your Christmas festivities begin? That's par for the course but I could really use an extra pair of hands... fortunately the Rascal Uni kids are finished with exams soon.
How do you store your tablecloths? I like this system of labelling the hangers with the size and then hanging them in my laundry cupboard:

| Ironed and ready to go. |
I hope your Christmas preparations are going well and that you are feeling festive.
I was feeling extremely disorganized until I made a list which was like taking a valium: very calming. That's the power of list-making.
Put your feet up and relax awhile (maybe with a Brandy Alexander), and whatever you do avoid the malls.
Cheers Darling Tooties,
