white wrappings



I keep a closet of white textured papers, recycled and vintage ribbons and containers
to make it easy this time of year to wrap it all up...

Winter white flowers


Winter white bulbs are flowering in windowsills, on mantels, and tabletops...amaryllis,
paperwhites and hyacinths add fragrance and life on these cold winter days...

This time of year, candlelight warms things up...my new favorite candles are from Linnea's Lights ...they are soy candles with a double wick and come in a beautiful round kraft box with their own matches...my favorite flavor is lemon verbena and we are selling them at The New General Store this weekend on Long Island. www.thenewgeneralstore.com
