a wish for you this winter

On my 4th snow day this year…

I wish you cozy thoughts, wool socks, a down coat, and warm and fuzzy boots as you trudge through all the snow this winter. I can’t believe the amount of snow we’ve had, and we’re only at February 1st. It’s crazy!!!!

Happy shoveling. I’ll be right there with ya.

a winter photo

Here’s a pic me and Han from this weekend’s get together. We didn’t get a chance to take any winter Maine beach photos because of the dreary weather, but we did get this one of the two of us while out for a drink with some Y-town friends. It was a quickly snapped photo, but it’s got a great winter feel to it. Cozy in Maine with a glass of wine.

Thanks for a great weekend, friend! See you in two weeks!

Hannah’s kitchen

Visiting Maine this weekend was terrific. I love how I can decide to go on short notice and it takes me no time at all to arrive in vacationland. My friends Hannah and Todd live in Portland, which is such a fun place to be. Of course there is a lot to see and do around Portland, but I also love just catching up at Han’s apartment. I especially love the simplicity of Hannah and Todd’s kitchen. I love the old sink and the bright yellow walls. I get such a cheery feeling every time I visit, which is probably more because I’m with my friend than the color of the walls, but I’m pretty sure the yellow’s got something to do with it too.

Also, check out the kitchen chairs she upholstered herself:

Adorable!!!!

I just found out about this sweet and delicious online magazine, Sweet Paul, via the twitter world. I am beginning to love online publications and this is another quality online magazine I can add to my list. Sweet Paul is all about the sweet things in life. They have a lot of sweet and tasty food recipes, but also have articles on other “sweet” things, such as crafts and decorating. I’ve currently been browsing the Holiday issue, but the spring issue should be coming out in the next few months. I’m looking forward to what they have in store!
