Hmmm... "embrace the beauty you say?" "It's too cold!" you say! Yes, it's cold, bone chilling cold, so cold it makes you want to nest and stay by the fire all day!...Not easy to do for most of us....you included I'm sure! So why not take a moment and drink in the beauty that this time of year has to offer. Yes, Embrace the Beauty!
My favorite time is late afternoon....when the sun is settling in for the evening, just bright enough to peek through the trees, but in a state of tired dullness that makes you realize that another day is coming to a close...a day full of accomplishments, aching muscles from restoring furniture, spending time with sis and happy, creative times all rolled into one.... A few frustrations here and there, but hey!.... That's life....the stuff that makes us who we are! We have to remind ourselves to take time to enjoy, embrace the beauty, no matter what form it takes!
I like to reflect. I enjoy looking back at photo's that I have taken of different seasons. Somehow the beauty of winter never stops amazing me! The clouds remind us change is in the air....Seeing the afternoon light hit the snow....just right....to produce a million sparkling diamonds. Breathing in the cold crisp air....hearing the crunch of snow under footsteps, so reminiscent of childhood.... remembering (laughingly) of how many hours were spent in the cold with freezing toes and fingers....sliding down this very hill! Then it was the grueling walk home across the street (100 yards!) to be greeted by mom with hot cocoa, warm soup and apple pie. Oh YUM!

So..... Embrace each day, glean from it what you will, enjoy the frigid, bone chilling cold....Accomplish all that makes you happy. Make memories, Embrace the beauty!...it will make you feel alive!
Nothing creates a happy, busy commotion like the new arrival of a new baby! Ah! So sweet! So many dreams, lots to planning to do for this precious bundle of joy! What about the nursery? What will it look like? What color will it be? Will the motif be? Urban Chic, Romantic French, Shabby Chic, French Country? Will it be filled with vintage pretties? We hope so! There are so many timeless pieces of vintage furniture that can be restored back to perfection, pieces that have so much history and so much to offer! Furniture that will evoke fond memories of your childhood, an echo of an era when a piece of furniture was made sturdy and was meant to be passed on to the next generation to cherish! We would love to help you create memories for the generation to come! Juniper Hill Antiques would love to help you accomplish this!
