things I like

just that......

Every time I see Christmas trees lined up in the street or in a parking lot ready to be sold, ready to go to a home and make someone happy for a few weeks it makes me feel for a second so happy, and so warm in my heart. Maybe that image of all those fragante trees lining up takes me to a very happy time of my childhood, when we used to go with my mom and dad to buy our tree and take it home with the greatest excitement. These days I confess I feel the same, and I just can't wait to go and pick up ours and take it home and love it for a few weeks and share our home with it.

Today I am thankful for my family. For the beautiful days we have spent with my sister and her husband here in Madison and for all the love she brought with herself. We had an amazing time together, simple and amazing, not big plans, just enjoying each other. Happy Thanksgiving everyone, let's keep it simple, because simple is amazing. xo!!!

Winter

It is that time of the year, again, can you believe it. Almost impossible for me not to get inspired with all the lights, window decorations, plans, food, it is the most special time of the year, yes it is. Still waiting around here for some serious snow, actually the weather has been pretty unseasonable this whole month. Let's start getting ready for the Holiday season and let's celebrate again. source: images from http://pinterest.com/tinapalumbi/

You always look like the bravest, the strongest, the prettiest to me. You and your people always endure stoically and with grace and with beauty when faced with misfortune. no matter what, there you are, grandiose. I have always loved you, since the very first time I knew you. There's not another one like you. Just you. I heart you NY.
