The holidays are here, bringing with them that special sense of home and winter coziness. This is the time of year when I am at my most sentimental, wanting to create an atmosphere of comfort and cheer. I love listening to old-school Christmas carols, wrapping gifts, and spending as much time in front of the fire as I possibly can.
In the Lane, Snow is Glistening
I’m not a winter sports person, but that doesn’t mean I don’t love winter - I do! I just love seeing it best through my window, from a cozy corner with a cup of tea in my hand and a book on my lap. I don’t mind if the weather outside is frightful, as long as I can enjoy it from the inside, looking out.
A Few of My Favorite Things
Here is a list of items necessary for the ultimate snuggly winter afternoon:
A vintage novel
A cat (or two)
Throw pillows
Hot cocoa
Slippers*
*I mean, without the right pair of slippers, you might as well just hibernate in a cave somewhere till spring.
Comfort & Joy
Laurentian Chief’s fur-trimmed suede slippers for women are the kind of slippers I’m talking about. Velvety soft and fleece-lined, with genuine rabbit fur that surrounds your ankles with luxurious warmth. Handcrafted in Canada, soft-soled, and beaded by hand, they are the perfect house-shoe to get you through the chilliest winter days and nights.
