I Hear It's Almost Winter

Wintertime is right around the corner. It (FINALLY) feels cold in Houston.  Today I wore a thick sweater and still got the chills- that doesn't happen often down here. With the cooler months comes a few things I just love.

Sipping hot tea and primping for holiday soirees...

Faux furs, darkly-rimmed eyelids and tossled hair...

All-black ensembles with more fur...

Staying in bed too long on weekend mornings while lazily reading...

And beautiful Christmas tablescapes, of course...

Finally, another reason I love the winter months is because of the eclectic decor I seem to accumulate.  I have less of a tendency to keep my tabletops and counters tidy- with Christmas cards, holiday party invitations, small trinkets,wreaths, etc- my decor takes on an even more collected look, which I love.

As I type this I'm sitting with a cup of hot chocolate wrapped up in a scarf.  Even though the sun's going down at 5 pm these days, I'm not complaining about it just yet. :)  I hope you're embracing the changing season along with me!
