Tonight or tomorrow morning I’m off to “The Ranch” a.k.a. my parent’s house in CT for some much needed country solace and R&R (and a belly full of turkey, stuffing and pumpkin pie). A little antiquing will certainly be in the cards, as will lots of plotting for my holiday gift guides, which will begin next week- right now the categories are as follows: For Her, For Him, For Home, For Kids and Under $50. If there are any other categories you are simple desperate for, leave a comment! I may have to throw in my personal list for Santa- just in case he reads my blog. :)
In the meantime, some modern country living finds inspired by my holiday destination…to which I must get to quickly since Baxter is sitting here staring at me with desperate eyes which say “You said we were going to NANA’S HOUSE!!! Let’s go NOW!!!”
