Just another splendiful afternoon spent antiquing through the hometown and sipping lattes...nothing too far out of the ordinary when I go home for a visit. Rummaging through old relics no matter where I am always makes me think of the show, American Pickers...which I will nerdishly admit that I am kind of obsessed with, however that's not why I entitled this post like that. The real reason is because living out of a suitcase has me puzzle-piecing together random articles of clothing..which kind of left me feeling like a bit of a rag picker, not that there's anything wrong with that.
Anyhow, I'm babbling. I'll stop. Today I am I baking up a batch up my grandmother's traditional Pfefferkuchen (think gingerbread covered in a rich chocolate gananche). Holy moly it's so good and is the taste of Christmas Eve according to me. So that's it. I've got to split. The sugar and spices are calling my name. Wishing you a Merry Christmas Eve Eve darlings.
Love Bunches,
Merry Christmas Eve Eve to you too! I love this outfit, often times living out of a suitcase makes for the most creative outfits! I love the edginess mixed in with the white dress.

ReplyDeleteI love that one shot of you laughing, it seems, with your hand up against the grating of the fence. It is so nice! One to frame!
