the last couple of weeks

Have been an absolute blur... and this blog as well as my etsy updates have paid the consequences!!
I played host to some out of town friends and was able to play tourist in my own city, eat lots of yummy foods, go to neighborhood bars to listen to music and stay up way past my bed time.  
The boyfriend and I have also adopted a little rescue pup from the shelter.  We had been looking for a while, and finally found her.  She's quite the handful but loves us dearly and is going to grow up to be the most well mannered lil dog.  I can feel it.

winter light.

I'm sure you all are aware of the nor-easter (seriously, who made up that word??) that swept the north east.  It caused a great amount of havoc, and made normal daily activities almost obsolete.  But it did provide with some sleeping in, and opportunity to get lost in some good ole movie watchin.
If you're not familiar with this snowy season, you might not know that it creates some of the most beautiful light ever. Moonlit snow creates this warm glow that just radiates through your windows.  I swear every time I ventured into our bathroom I had to proclaim it's beauty.  I tried to capture some of it's majesty through our windows.

My new wreath!!

This came in the mail today and I couldn't be more excited.  I can't imagine a better home for it than in the window of my light pink bathroom.  (Poor George!!)

The find of the day...

I bought this bulletin board on High Street Market's etsy site. I love it, and cannot wait to hang it over my antique secretary desk. High Street always has amazing finds, and they're based here in the City of Brotherly love.

My George has fallen on hard times and is laid up on the couch recuperating, so I've been spending my time by keeping busy... making chili, cleaning, and doing copious amounts of laundry. This weekend I plan on making mini cherry pies and some parsnip soup mmm. There's something about Fall & Spring that just kick starts my soul.
