hearth / home


I built my first fire of the season. Oh, how I love everything about it, the smell, the glow and sparkle, the crackle, the warmth - it mesmerizes me. Problem is I can't leave it's warmth. Does that happen to you?
I think the first thing Taylor will think when she walks in the house tomorrow is, "oh I miss that smell - this is home" / maybe this weekend we can do another crazy photo shoot like we did last year - remember collecting all those leaves and making this rug to go under my crazy blue chair? you didn't throw away my chair did you?

  1. I love that you would spend a weekend gathering leaves to make a rug under a blue chair. I hope I will always be so supportive of my daughter's interests.

  5. They are predicting rain all this weekend. I am disappointed because I was hoping to rake the leaves and take photos of them. Photography as encouragement for chores? There's an idea!

  11. what a great blog idea!

    I have never built a fire in my fireplace (any of them). At least now I have candles in the fireplace and light them. It's a start, right!

    I love the red carpet. :)
