Ah, the weekend!

Here's where I'll be on Saturday if you'd like to join me.  I love Alice and her wonderland and cannot wait to see it dance in front of me.  

"If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn't. And contrary wise, what is, it wouldn't be. And what it wouldn't be, it would. You see?" -Alice

If I lived in the city...

...I would be able to justify buying this fantastic, fabulous, fashionista of a coat by Mackage.
Alas, I do not so I will dream of it all day instead.

Discovered via All Things Lovely and available to purchase (for me) from S|SENSE

Aye, 'tis time!

Happy St. Pat's! I'll certainly be celebrating the 25% of my heritage that's Irish and dreaming of our trip to Ireland next year.

Welcoming a weekend of whimsy.

The work week is wrapping itself up and the weekend is winking at me from the shadows. I will wander out tonight to share wine and wavelengths with my warmhearted friends, then weave my way to a well-warranted rest on wrinkled white sheets and welcome Sunday with a bit of wandering the winter terrain. Warm thoughts and wishes for your weekend!

Winter Wind Web Wares

I hear it. I hear you people on the East coast and in the Midwest and well, pretty much anywhere south of me saying "Spring is here!" I must ask that you have a little consideration for those of us in the mountain regions who, while we are experiencing lovely lovely sunny days, are still feeling the winter.

As the days grow longer and the air warms slightly, I am digging into my season transition wardrobe. Warmer but less bulkier pieces, something to snuggle into but that doesn't make me look like Randy from A Christmas Story. Imagine my delight when I came across LittleHouses Clothing on Etsy.

I love the asymmetry, the up-the-side buttons, the cotton/poly blend and of course, those lovely loose collars. LittleHouses is promising a soon-to-be released spring collection and I am biting at the bit.

Feelin' good!

I am completely addicted to this video. It touches on my love of Nina, Typography and graphics.

It's what I've been up to.

I miss blogging. I miss it dearly! It has been nearly 2 mos. since I last wrote, posted a pic or shared a link.

I've been a busy girl with a new job...

new adventures...

and lots of new snow to play in...

However, I cannot neglect the only (personal) creative outlet I currently have. So, I'm back and if you don't like it that's just too bad! :)

One thing that hasn't changed is my addiction to We Heart It which is where I located these images

Addition to our Tahoe family

Our extended Tahoe family grew by one (wee little one) a week ago today. The Hyams-Scarton(i) family blessed us all with a new baby boy to love. And the little guy must have been eager to meet us as he arrived a couple weeks early (and in barely enough time to make it to the hospital).

I introduce the sweetest thing to come out of the Truckee in the past two years:

Mason Milton Hyams
Born January 06, 2009
7lbs. 12oz and 21 inches long

He was welcomed into the world by his parents, Robyn & Milt and joins his big brother, Keelan.

Congratulations to the Hyams' & Scartons on your newest little wonder.

Old year, new year

It's been a busy break from blogging and I'm gearing myself up to hop back in. In the meantime, here's what we've been up to:

Celebrating the season

My friends, knowing me so well, bought me some fantastic gifts. The first one below is my most treasured as I raved about Tim a few blogs back.

Cooking

Our Italian New Year included homemade ravioli

Seafood Saturday with oysters and an unbelievably delicious Scallop Gratin

4 days on the slopes, some jackpot shopping trips and the arrival of my new entertainment center have rounded out the time.

Tomorrow I'll dedicate a post to our Winter Wonderland and all it's frosty glory...

Happy Holidays!

It's been an action-packed few weeks with the Santa Crawl, holiday shopping, the Clear Cap Winter Wonderland, shoveling and Christmas Eve arriving tomorrow. Not much time in there to blog. So, I shall wish you a happy holiday season and I'll see you in 2009.

Psst...you know what I love? Early Christmas presents to/for myself. Thanks for these, Meesh:

Stadium-cloth Shipley coat from J.Crew

Born Shilo Shearling boot

Happy Happy Happy...

...1 year anniversary, CBD crew!

You need a picture that shows Kristi too like this one...
