Day Three Hundred Fifty Five


I made some spiced tea mix on this first day of Winter. The kitchen smelled like oranges, cinnamon, and cloves. The scent of oranges conjures up favorite memories of childhood Christmases, because Santa always put oranges and tangerines in my stocking.

Day Three Hundred Fifty Four

Baby, It's Cold Outside!


We don't get to see much snow any more in middle Tennessee, so what little we did get Saturday night and Sunday morning was welcome--the kind that coats the wind shield of the car, but not the roads. Puts me in a holiday mood.

Day Three Hundred Fifty Two

Let's Get Random


Saw these cool vintage boots while browsing at the Nashville Flea Market today. I'd love to have them, but they were too narrow for my big feet. Maybe they were Cinderella's boots.

Where's the rest of this deer? I think he must have joined the Syrian army--with bells on.

Clown face in a box. Has to be a refuge from a Stephen King novel. The flea market is never boring.

Vintage Chanel No. 5. No telling how old this Eau de Cologne is. No price tag on it, but I'm sure it's a bargain.

Experimenting with f-stop settings on my new camera. As you can see, I have no idea what I'm doing. Pretty cool all the same. Either that, or the tree is on fire.

Our two cats were cooped up inside the house while we were gone. I'm sure Buddy snoozed upstairs all day. Eddie, on the other hand, amused himself with knocking Christmas ornaments off the tree and playing with this Santa hat. He's been all over this thing, pouncing on it and dragging it around the room. Crazy kitty.
