i really love the snow. i love the smell, i love the clean blanket it wraps the world in. all i need is some ugg boots and i'll brave any snowy outside chore, no matter how scantily clothed i otherwise am.
grant and i were talking today about how we want to live deep in the woods. we debated whether we'd be happier in tahoe type evergreen forests or pacific northwest goonies type forests.
i don't care which as long as there is snow.
but this picture cheered me up a little bit.
now i am getting in bed with egg nog, my knitting, and julie and julia in the dvd player. i think that will cheer me the rest of the way up.
good night.
yes, i am selling a complete christmas forest. (only one).
check out all of the coziness here.
i will ship any purchases immediately by priority mail. thank you, as always, for your kind support.
i cut up some old wool sweaters and vintage christmas fabrics (i LOVE those dears) and sewed them into wonky cones for a forest display in the entry.
it delights me!
ps- shop update in the morning- just a few cozy things.
today i waited in the world's longest drive thru line (this picture was snapped after i had done most of the waiting). oh boy, it was so worth it. grant didn't want to go until the novelty of the first utah county in n out wore off and it wouldn't take an hour to get a burger, but i disagreed. and i needed one today.
i know so many utahns, (etc.) don't get the in n out thing. they hear californians brag that it's the best hamburger place in the world for years, then they try one and are like, "huh?" but allow me to explain what an in n out burger tastes like to me:
it tastes like home.
it tastes like my family all getting along and happy.
it tastes like my mom having a moment of true joy.
it tastes like cleanliness and freshness.
it tastes like a sunshine-y day.
it tastes like my dad singing along to k earth 101.
it tastes like real food, but fast.
it tastes like california.
it tastes like it's worth any wait.
