It’s Christmastime in the city. On Monday, my mother-in-law and sister-in-law allowed me to join them on a shopping trip to Charleston. It was funsies. I love looking in all of the fancy stores. So many inspiring things! We shopped around King Street, enjoyed an excellent lunch, grabbed coffee and treats at Bake House (formerly …

hip, hip, hooray for christmas vacation!
This was our first wrapped Christmas gift. Coincidentally, it’s also the first Christmas gift that Hemingway ripped into. She is kind of an evil cat, but it really was an accident. The box has an opening and her foot went right through the paper. Still, she shouldn’t have been standing on Daddy Marty’s gift. Since …
time flies
Four years ago, we celebrated our first Christmas with Hemingway. She was so tiny! No, I’m not sure why those glass ornaments are in a bowl on the floor next to a recently-brought-indoors feral kitten. Who knows. Today I have my fingers crossed for calm students and a fast-paced couple of school days! <3, Liz
wrap it up, already.
It’s catch-up time! Here’s an annotated version of the past two weeks. I finally finished that wreath that got started last year. Also, the rest of Christmas is mostly set up at our house. Except the snowmen. They’re all just kind of in a huddle. We stayed Thanksgiving evening at my parent’s house. Everyone in …
who let the cats out?
It’s important to me that we make Christmas cards every year. We usually keep it simple, but it is just so much more sweet and personal to have a card that someone made by hand. This year, Fitz and Hemingway are the stars of our card. So we set up a photo shoot. It’s not …
christmas garland
I spotted this garland in the Christmas shop in Jonesborough a while back. Excuse the sad photo quality, but it’s felt flowers with a button in the center attached to a wire covered in green cloth. My natural reaction? I could make that. So I did. Or rather, I made something similar. I built my …
Turkey Day!
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! In keeping with our tradition, we made a list on the chalkboard wall of things to be thankful for this year. It includes (but is not limited to) our families, the cats, barbecue, and the fact that the cats didn’t knock down the Christmas tree overnight. Forrest rustled up these photos of …
it’s the most wonderful time
Christmas is out of the attic! The cats are super jazzed for the new perching spots. We’re going to try a new tree location this year. I’m a little nervous, because the tree will be much more out in the open than it has been in years past. And this is the first Christmas with …
shameless plug
I’ve been cleaning like a mad woman today. We aren’t having any one over for Thanksgiving, but between trying to pack up fall things and prep for Christmas decorations, our house looks crazy. But it’s a rainy afternoon, and I needed a break, so I plopped down on the couch with the newest issue of …
rabbit food
LET THERE BE CARROTS! Picked these up at the market the other day. They’re from Shady Grove Farm in Irmo. I love that a couple of them have extra “legs” -so fun and so yummy! <3, Liz
