Starry Night in the Woods

Starry Tent

I'd like to know how Katie did this exactly. It's so magical. How is that gauzy chiffon-like drapery hanging like that? I have made many tent efforts in my time and nothing has looked that much like a real tent. This, this is a masterpiece. And those cut out stars! and the rope lights! I will find a way to do this very soon.

Walt Disney himself couldn't have captured it better.

Trees and Musings

Isn't this a lovely day?

Yes, and it consists of eating macarons from Laduree (mind you, all of this is in my ardent imagination)

Growing a massive tree in the middle of my living room? No, that was a nap.

Castles and Christmas Trees

I bought a white artificial Christmas tree a few years ago and I love it so much I usually leave it up way beyond Christmas season. I break down sometime in March or April with the reason being, that it won't be as special for next Christmas if I leave it up so long. But this year, I'm re-thinking this scenario. Why not leave a Christmas tree up all year? I love the lamps and other decoration in my home all year long and don't get sick of them. Christmas lights and trees are very cozy to me. Hmmm... I'll keep thinking about this.

Cinderella's Castle at Disney World in Florida

Disney's Castles look very similar to Christmas trees. Maybe I could build a miniature castle out of cardboard to place around the tree this year.

Korma Sutra-- I Miss You, Westport

Korma Sutra means "sensuous cuisine" in Hindi. This top picture is from Cookie Magazine a while back. It's in Bali, Indonesia.

When I lived in Kansas City, MO, I would go to Korma Sutra in Westport every Tuesday after class at Penn Valley for Lunch (that's a mouthful). They have an amazing buffet--super cheap and visually beautiful and do I have to say, absolutely scrumptious. I miss Korma Sutra so much. I'll have to go for a visit some time soon.

The Black Apple Holiday Sweets

Some holiday sweets ideas by The Black Apple. Wondrous with a stout glass of egg nog or a warm mug of cocoa.

North Pole Breakfast

Just a thought. This is probably something the little she-elf from The Santa Clause would serve up at the North Pole for breakfast. Yes, it's official, I have the Christmas bug:)

Peppermint sticks dipped in white chocolate covered in nonpareils. Delightful.

Holiday-themed Starbucks is a bright spot in the year for me. I look forward to the unique flavors and creative packaging with kid-like giddy-ness. It's ridiculous that a coffee shop could inspire such excitement, but it does.

This pic is from elsiecake. Ahhh, iced coffee. Caffeine.

Just the thing to get this little guy out of bed:)
