Hope your holiday season was like mine…fairly peaceful, lots of good food and wine, family, laughs, interspersed with, ummm…disagreements, about what would and would NOT fit into a car as we headed south . I may have mentioned before that I travel in the non-light fashion. I carry my house with me…it’s sad, I know, but there are things I just NEED for Christmas!
And the seat in the picture is the front passenger seat….the rest of the car: fully packed. What’s in the white bakery box?
Yep…even a buche de noel made it down. And it arrived, miraculously, in one chocolatey, yummy piece. It is the season of miracles after all.
See? This was from Sugarbaker’s in Catonsville…it was soooo good…..chocolate and raspberry….
Let’s face it….things that go pop and have people wearing funny hats at dinner, is just plain old fun.
Found a great furniture store in Ashville(such a cool town)…called Dwellings.
I could literally have spent all day here..happily.
Fell in love with a vintage dresser there….the orange is adorable!
NO, this did not come home with me…it wouldn’t fit in the car. Alas.
Also really loved this lamp….very tall. No, it’s still at the store too! I think)….
But this little guy did come home with me…Jonathon Seagull!
Love this little guy…..
I must have liked this a lot…took a picture of it…..
And this…..snap. Can one have too many mirrors?
Saw this handsome fellow outside an antique shop in Cashiers, NC….great little town with some amazing shops!
- I realized that, once again, I packed badly when it came to my own clothing…these I found at a shop in Highlands NC…they saved the day, and my ears!
My fav ornament this year…Harry the hedgehog. Isn’t he a cutie?
I could see the Christmas tree from my bedroom window…. it was a nice feeling.
Hung out at a coffee shop in Cashiers called Buck’s Coffee…actually I could move in there and be pretty doggone happy.
Never get tired of a mountain view like that….
Made a killer batch of pimiento cheese(and by killer, I don’t mean people got sick after they ate it!)….
And this was a new recipe I tried…Hoppin’John Risotto with greens, sausage and Parm…..it was truly….amazing.
I want some right now! And how was your holiday??
