Romance of the Rose

So, about that snow last night...

There was none.

After all the uproar, there was no more than a few flakes in the sky all day. So, all my toasty "snowed-in" plans were squashed. But I made the best of it and lit some candles, raised the heat a notch, and baked three loaves of pumpkin bread anyways. Yum.

I'm just about to go out with a friend now, but I thought I'd share with you all this beautiful summer dress I found on The Vermont Country Store website:


How beautiful is that? And isn't the name so befitting?
Looks like it came right off the pages of a Jane Austen novel!

I simply have to buy this for my trip in June.
I can see it now now... standing on the ferry, looking out towards the waves,
the soft airy cotton blowing in the summer breeze, tickling my legs...

Can you tell that I miss the summertime? :p

----------

Hope all of you are having a wonderful weekend!

  3. B-mused, thank you! I did indeed see those photos, and they were lovely :) New England certainly "takes the cake" on every season, winter included! Have a Happy Sunday as well!♥

    Jaz, thanks so much! I'm sorry that the snow caused a lot of damage for you :( Hope everything will turn out okay.
    I instantly became ecstatic after seeing your Halloween things! I am, in fact, a crazy Halloween lover. My house during Halloween is "that house" on the block where people take pictures in front of :p I basically celebrate the holiday year round.
    If you have a Livejournal, I run two Halloween communities on there in case you're interested :) If you don't, that's okay, come this August, the majority of my posts will be Halloween centered :p
    Oh, and in response to your other comment, I'll definitely check out your Salem pictures! I had so much fun there last October... I'd love to see your perspective as well♥

  7. well erin...hang on to your long winter underwear cause i think this storm is heading your way. i have been tracking it all day and it is going to come to a head right over nyc. it is light fluffy snow this time with high winds so there will be lots of drifting. right now...at about 4>00 pm on monday...they are saying that you will get about 14-18 inches. have fun with your snow. at least it should not be as damaging as ours was.
