Winter Whites and Winter Days

Hello friends! 

Today we woke up to a 31-degree morning, which is pretty cold for November in NC. My heart goes out to our friends in the mid-west who have it so much worse with their early snowfall. I hope that you are all doing well!

Recently I purchased some lace fabrics and trim on Etsy, and most of them were in winter whites, so I couldn't resist pairing them with some of my vintage winter photos on burlap linen.


Do you remember when you were little and
your mom bundled you up so tightly that
you could barely walk?


But if you did as you were told,
she rewarded you with a ride on your 
sled.
Of course, she was all bundled up too!


When you grew up,
you got to skate with your friend.
You were still bundled up against
the cold.
Well, maybe not as much as 
when you were little!


Wherever you are,
enjoy the season! 
Thanks for coming by.

This week I will join Wen's Simply Neutrals Tuesday.
You can find Wen's blog here.
Thanks again Wendy.
I really appreciate all of your hard work!

    1. Hello Valerie. Husbands as babies all bundled up. A funny picture if your husband is anything like mine. I can barely get him to put on a jacket when its freezing cold outside. It must be a man thing! Hugs back!
