HOLIDAY POLL

from Country Living Magazine

When do you take your Holiday decorations down?

Right after Christmas?

Right after New Years?

After Epiphany?

or

Whenever you get around to it?

Inquiring minds want to know, and I do too ;)

Later,

LET IT SNOW, LET IT SNOW, LET IT SNOW

"Heap on more wood!

The wind is chill;
But let it whistle as it will,
We'll keep our Christmas merry still."

Sir Walter Scott

We are expecting a blizzard-type storm tonight and we are ready. Lots of flour, sugar and eggs. Many forms of chocolate and nuts. Coffee and wine. What more could you need for a day of snow with Christmas just around the corner.

Wishing a very Warm and Cheery Holiday to all my friends and their families.

PERFECT

I am slowly working on getting my kitchen/foyer/upstairs hall back in shape. I am being very, very deliberate where I place each thing as I don't want to mess up the paint. The Pensive Sky by Behr in the kitchen is absolutely beautiful, very serene and clean looking. I want to paint every room in Pensive Sky right now because it makes me so very happy to walk into the kitchen and see it. The aforementioned foyer et al is a Benjamin Moore color called Golden Tan which seemingly has no tan, but is a lovely buttery color. I would take pix, but my camera is acting up right now, so please use your imagination, OK.

Thinking of all of you, even though i haven't been leaving many comments lately. I know, bad blogger etiquette, but know I am enjoying your posts, OK?

Happy Decorating,
Janet

NEW YORK NEW YORK

Here are some photos from our quick NYC trip on November 28. Of course, I also went to NYC with Sami ( my potential DIL) on November 15, but was too busy eating, shopping the street vendors and watching the Rockettes to take pix for you. Bob was more than happy to oblige on this trip. Enjoy the randomness of these photos!

The lovely, casually elegant restaurant where Sami and I lingered over wine and dinner. Photo taken so I would remember the name of the restaurant, lol.

Window at Henri Bendel, and no, I would not look good in that outfit ( contrary to what Bob thought). He is such a keeper!

Happy Holidays.
Janet
