I'd love to live in the woods.

What an enchanting entrance! I found this house @ The Catalyst.

I'm inspired.

Wh....How....What the ??! Christmas is over????

I can't believe it. The day we've been building up over two months for is over just like that. Poof.

It was a very sweet time though. As this year, the first of many to come, there were no post-Christmas blues, just the memories of an exceptionally cool, magical Christmas with family. And SodaCat's first Noel with us.

Which of these should I be getting?

Apothecary necklaces by Alternate History at Etsy.

Black and Beautiful Part V

Just stumbled upon these outrageous masks by Tom Banwell from Penn Valley, California. Forget the garden variety feather and sparkle masquerade ones. These are what I'll be wearing to the ball.

Rabbit Mask: to my mother's CNY party.

Black Raven Mask: to the industry awards party

Rhino Gas Mask: to a family wedding

Tom's beauties can be purchased from his etsy shop here.

Whoooops

We just missed Thanksgiving, not knowing that this year it falls on the 25th of November which was yesterday. We took the mumster to a local pantomime and had a great birthday night with her. Thankfully, we were together as a family so that was Thanksgiving enough.

Till next year I'll be dreaming of a white Christmas in Strasbourg and all the family around a fireplace.

The Most Terrifying Bunny in the World

Is one that looks like a cat, barks like a dog and charges like a bull. You frighten me Sammy, but I love you.

November Rain

When sunny doesn't get the Monday blues, she fills her Sundays with ice-cold blueberries, gold-tinsel frankincense and a furry friend. December weather is officially upon us and IT IS GLORIOUS.
