I really wanted to write a new post today.  But I got so distracted...

First I was captured by vintage artsy Italian liqueur ads...as I drank my nutmeg cappuccino.

 Then...I decided that the guest bathroom needed cleaning and realized that SHE had not put away along with the other Holiday decor:

I then wandered into the living room and pondered the idea that my plants are STILL alive.  It's a miracle. Although my Rosemary Tree could use some help..I better look up the "care & maintenance of..." quick!

Then I noticed that I am not the only one in the house who thinks this is the coziest, 'snuggle-up-on-the-sofa' blanket...

Speaking of cozy...even after I had a couple cups of hot cappy,

I was pretty chilly.  So decided I need a HOT bath and some moisturizing was in order...

After which I put on my favorite:
    

    Ah,  it IS the simple things in life.

                                        

THEN...

                                 

I came back upstairs just in time to  enjoy the gloaming....

what a pretty sight from my kitchen window.  I wish the camera would have captured the smoke coming out the chimney of that little, snow covered house......

 When I came out of the spell of the twilight...I spotted a recent vintage gift that came to me this winter...and decided it has not been used enough. Oh the possibilities... I will put it to good use...but not today...

 

 Because the BLANKET is free!!

and now it's time for this:

Yeah, I really wanted to post today.  But what a full day it was...

Oh well...there's always tomorrow.
