So beautiful! I love ivory!
A beautiful day, indeed! I love ivories--my brother-in-law was married in his wife's native Devon, England and her sisters, the bridesmaids, all wore cream/ivory dresses and shoes of their own choosing. So pretty. I love creamy furniture, too.
First of all, I just love your blog. A friend told me about it and I couldn't be more inspired by your life. And I must admit, my 11 year old daughter hears every once-in-a-while, "Just guess what Bella baked now!" My Ellis loves to bake too :-)
But here's my question... silly silly but here goes: I love how you wear dresses and skirts most of the time. But how do you stay warm in them? Is it wool tights or a better secret? Just wondering so I can stay warm in my skirts too. Blessings on your family this cold and icy weekend.
That throw is gorgeous! I love me some cable-knit!
This post is a feast for the eyes for us winter lovers :)
This is absolutely my favorite palette. I'm obsessed with gray and ivory these days. I've seemed to have redone most of my house in this scheme! I love that gray can be "warm" when it's paired with cozy textures!
Bliss.
Love your blog, love your wardrobe and your girls, and wish I was in that cool scene now instead of baking here in our Australian summer
A beautiful post, as always :) Thanks for making such a gorgeous place on the net.
very pretty!
Gorgeous!
so, so gorgeous. I love your site Anna, and this post is such a great reason why!
Beautiful, so calm and peaceful looking. That cheesecake looks fantastic.
Lovley photos. I just made a top with that same neckline, it is my new favorite style of blouse!
What can I add to what the others said? The only thing to do on such days is what you're doing - taking advantage of that meditative feeling that comes on when it snows. And your colors - so soothing.
You're a real inspiration, Anna.
Although I haven't been able to wear the color well or have it unstained in my house full of children I found this post beautiful. Such a smooth, soothing color.
Soothing to the soul.....so beautiful! I am inspired to go redo even a small corner of my home.
Did Bella make that wonderful cheescake? Of course she did....
Ooohhh--more photos of Bella's dress, please?! Is it for a special ocassion?
I love your frosty pictures ~ I may need to come back and visit when the mercury hovers around 37C/98F here later. At 7am it's already 26C/78F.
Enjoy your snow and the cosiness of inside.
Anna, is your couch slipcovered? If so did you make it? I would love to see!
I have followed your blog for some time now and I'm finally curious enough to say and ask... Anna, you seem to have a large following from Down Under (compared to other blogs I follow)...how did you all find this blog? I found it when my Mom sent me a link to a post about homeschooling.
Thanks,

I didn't realise that ivory could be so lovely. Anna that throw is beautiful, if you know the source of the pattern I would be grateful to learn of it.
To Colleen above, I am also from Australia.
Love all the white in this post...right up my alley!
What an absolutely lovely day. So delicate and feminine. Love it!
