{the first snowfall & a little romance}

. . . there is just something about this time of year that makes everyday feel even more romantic -- perhaps it is the millions of tiny twinkling lights, or the champagne, or catching of one's breath at the sight of the first snowfall, each floating snowflake drifting soundlessly and beautifully against the window pane, whatever it may be, somehow, everything feels tinged with a little romance . . .

{p.s.} and to p., meet me under the mistletoe x

{mid-week musings & oceanside dreams}

. . . one of those impossibly busy weeks were the lists are a million miles long and inboxes are over over-flowing, but also, a feeling of excitement uncontained for new adventures to come -- so much so, that one must stop to catch a breath, and with recent talk of oceanview cottages and afternoons at the beach, in all this golden summer sunshine, one can not help but let thoughts drift, if only for a moment, to blue summer skies and open waters . . .

{a brand new month}

. . . an entire thirty-three days of the new year has already come and gone, and so far, things are off to a beautiful start -- have somehow, someway, managed to keep all resolutions, and for some long-forgotten {sentimental, perhaps, romantic, for certain} reason, february has always been one of my very favourite months . . .

happy brand new month! hope it is filled with endless love & possibilities,
xo
