whoa snow yay!

i was so giddy when i woke up this morning to see

a slight dusting of snow had fallen.

i took oliver to the front window as soon as he popped out of bed.

"whoa. snow. YAYYYYY" and then he went straight for his boots.

we took advantage of the fun dusting of snow.

 he was very much enjoying the snow too.  we heart barkley.

are my fingers crossed for more snow tonight?

(little helper w/ his 1st official camera.  taken w/ my iphone. we are into all kinds of photography equipment around here).

we are getting a giant head start on decor for the 2012 holiday season.  fell in love with this super lovely, fancy anthro tree skirt... and wouldn't ya know it... my sweet as can be mother-in-law came up to spend a couple of days with us... and she brought with her: a basket of colorful yarn, some crochet hooks, and a whole lot of energy and ambiton (trying to teach moi to crochet something like this... takes ambition).

she is the sweetest. really.

i am a very lucky girl. and i am going to have one lucky, vintage-modern and fashion forward tree this year.

xoxo.
