Snow Day

Is there anything better than an unexpected day off before Christmas. I for one, love that 5:00am phone call. I took these photos just as it started snowing. It's going to snow all day and we're expecting 

up to 6 inches. Brian and I spent the morning finishing up our outdoor decor. With the exception of the window boxes, the outside has been decorated for weeks, but it's always fun to tweak it a little.

 I've been wanting window boxes and Brian made these for me this year. I couldn't wait to get out into the woods to gather greens, berries and pinecones to fill them with. 

I love to fill anything I can with evergreens. This is our cute little mudroom.

I filled this wagon haphazardly with greens. 

I'm going for that wild look.

Last Christmas, Brian made this birch star for the shed.

I love using vintage sleds, skis, snowshoes, ice skates and lanterns outside.

I found these vintage wool camp blankets a few years ago for $5 each.

Stick a tree in an old bucket and call it a decoration.

We found this old metal bucket on July 4 on one of our weekend trips to Vermont. It was a buck.

These old skates were a gift from my neighbor.

She's such a poser.

That look you get when you make your snow dogs come inside.

Snow days are for baking those meals you don't cook on regular days.
