Beware. Two random things. No outfits. I'm lazy.
Random #1.........
Long time readers know all about the "special room" here at the homestead.
(It's not what you think.)
Anyway.
My motivation regarding this space ebbs and flows. It'll get almost clean. Then it becomes a hide-y hole when company arrives. And when it's a mess, my drive evaporates.
But something happened on Thanksgiving which I think will light a fire under me.........
See that beauty of an antique mirror above the bed?
That has been waiting for a year and a half to be hung.
So since the crowned jewel is in place, I think my motivation has been restored.

Random #2.........
With the season of hibernation upon us, I wanted to find a couple of good reads.
I love reading in the winter.
Specifically on snow days. Which I'm counting on getting.
(Hear me Mother Nature???)
So after talking to a few buddies at work, I got some great suggestions. A new (to me) series.........
They arrived yesterday!
Now all I need is for some winter weather to arrive too.
Winter, you've got plenty of time to deliver. I'm just letting you know.
That's an interesting series - I didn't realize the third book was out already! I really liked the first one - you'll have to let me know how you like them!
ReplyDeleteI have seen those books, but haven't heard anything about them!

I've been told they are sorta like Hunger Games!
DeleteSnow days...yes, please. We didn't get one at all last year at it was the pits!
ReplyDeleteI haven't heard about those books, I should check them out. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI can totally relate to waiting a long time to get things hung/completed... story of my life!
ReplyDeleteI miss your outfits! That mirror is divine. I love it. Glad you hung it, it is a show stopper for sure. I can't wait to see the rest of the room. And, let me know how your new books are, when you read them. I have very little time to read so I love getting great recommendations so feel motivated to make more time to read.
ReplyDeleteIs this the room that I love??? The one with that cute rug and adorable bedding from U.O.???? Happy reading...looks like you are gonna be busy!! ;) Thanks for linking up again this week! Love ya!
ReplyDeleteI haven't read the 2nd or 3rd book from that series! I need to...you'll have to let me know what you think of them.
ReplyDeleteThe mirror is beautiful!! I am looking forward to winter weather, too! xo Heather
ReplyDeleteWhat genre books do you enjoy reading?
ReplyDeleteI have the Matched book right now too. I'm finishing up a great book called "Escape" first, then working on "Gone Girl" (i tried it once but only got through 100 pages before it had to be returned to the library). But I've heard good things about this series! Can't wait to hear your thoughts!

ReplyDeleteWell, winter winter has arrived here a tad early although it isn´t snowing yet. ;) I always love to place a mirror above my bed, maybe I should put one after seeing yours hanging over there nicely.
ReplyDeleteIt went from FREEEEZING on Monday to being in the 60's this week! Wait five minutes and the weather will change here in good ole MO!
DeleteThe mirror is lovely. And don't be ashamed of your hidey hole...everyone has one of some kind. : ) Mine just happens to be numerous closets.
