Music Monday - Ella Fitzgerald and Tom Jones

This is perfect, not too much more I can say. Words sort of fail me here.

The Meadow Lark

Love, love, love all these gorgeous prints from The Meadowlark (run by Becky Filip, lead singer of the wonderful band The Honey Trees). My favorite is the Fiona Print, so beautiful.

Just because it's beautiful.

Rags and Tatters

I have seriously fallen in love with the blog Rags and Tatters. It's gorgeous! It's like, if Anne Shirley ever had a blog, this would be it. Filled with all kinds of magical and fairy tale like stuff which I tend to adore and just all sorts of beautiful, beautiful things. Definitely a blog to check out.

Music Monday - Oren Lavie

I think that this beautiful stop-motion music video by Oren Lavie is one of my new favorites of all time. I can't believe I hadn't viewed it before today. I had heard of it before but never had the time to sit down and watch it. So glad I finally did. A must-see.

My Corner of the World in December

Well I'd say that like my 2010 my December was quite a success, how about yours? During the month we brought home a giant white pine tree that almost reached the ceiling (had no idea it would be that tall), dried oranges, went to see my friends in The Nutcracker, strung popcorn and cranberries, lit candles, had hot apple cider in Williamsburg, made wreaths, saw very many pretty houses, made Mary Jane Eggs and got three lovely snow storms (one that started Christmas evening!)

Happy New Year!

Here's to a new year that's going to be better then all the ones behind combined. A year of surprises, laughs, new friends, goals being met, new wisdom being acquired and lots of happiness and love. Thanks to all of you who followed and left such sweet comments this year, you guys are amazing. Happy new year!
