Weekend Links

 


I can't believe it's the middle of February!  We got moved into the new house (sort off--there are still lots of boxes piled up everywhere, but at least they're all in one place).  The dogs looove their huge new yard, and I like having more shelves for books.  We also got through Valentine's Day (my sweetie usually works that day, so we go out to dinner on the 15th, and I hit the 50% off chocolate shelves at the grocery store).  Hope you are having a good almost-time-for-spring, too.  Here's a little reading for you...







The first Viking woman to sail to North America

The Saltburn house

How to make your own Dole whip!  (If I can't get to Disney this year, I'll make it come to me...)

Finding rest in creative labor

Reading the letters of Robert Browning and Elizabeth Barrett Browning

20 gorgeous pink drinks

Questions about afternoon tea?

New trailer for "Shardlake"  (can't wait for this, I love these books!)

Eiffel Tower made of matchsticks

 Happy weekend, everyone!  It's cold and snowy here, perfect writing in my pajamas weather.  Here are a few things to read as we stay warm and cozy...
