It started, as it usually does, with the first snow.

| Central Park - NYC snow last winter |
Early Sunday morning as I walked hand in mittened hand with Court to grab my morning coffee, the snow flakes started to fall.
We woke up in a downtown Toronto hotel and mommy desperately needed a Starbucks red cup. I had been to the Canadian Design Bloggers Meetup the previous night and there had been some wine.
I had the red, thank you very much.
Jennifer did a fabulous job, as usual, summing up the night. There were so many talented, thoughtful women! I'm still feeling a little overwhelmed to have been a part of it.

If your fall mums are looking like this...
but you aren't quite ready...
or perhaps you lack the time, energy, and drive to do this...
do this...

Ah, I wish I could do that...all I would see is heaping piles of snow on top of that lovely little planter. I love the greenery...and the pine cones...love em both.

ReplyDeleteIt was so wonderful to see you again Tara! You looked so lovely in your dress. I hope the family enjoyed the night in the big city.
ReplyDeleteMy mums look like that except covered in a foot of snow! haha. I love the idea of the pinecones!
ReplyDeleteSaturday was so much fun! It was great to meet so many wonderful ladies at the party :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm still not feeling too much Christmas spirit - it usually kicks in around December 1st. Thanks for the inspiration pics - I like the planter with the greenery & birch branches, but I'm more likely to do the pine cones. Lack of time & skill!
