Paper cuts

Remember making snowflakes in grade school? Folding the paper up super small. Cutting circles, squares, triangles, and lines at whim into the folded paper? Unfolding the paper always revealed a unique and beautiful design. I loved making snowflakes. These are way better than snowflakes. *from Tina Tarnoff* I only discovered paper cutting this Christmas. Isn't is charming?

Home on the . . . farm?

Awhile back, I mentioned I wanted a new kitchen table. It wasn't that I didn't like Chris' kitchen table. It was more that I REALLY didn't like Chris' kitchen table. He felt the same about mine. I also mentioned that I wanted a farm table. I have a minor obsession. Well, we found one we both love. It's perfect. It fits perfectly in our little nook and look amazing with our new woven/wooden chairs. The table is from an antique show. The chairs are from friends. At some point, we'll clean up the paint a little and seal it. The chairs will be painted black or a rich chocolate brown. We both think it's a good compromise.

Happy holidays!

And, a white Christmas? Chris and I are snowed in. I took these pictures yesterday afternoon. Today I can barely see my car. And yes, if you look closely, the entire side is covered with ice. This is our back entrance. About 8 inches of snow covered in a half inch of ice. Fun. It is beautiful though.
