The last weekend of 2012 we did our first overnight trip with Frances to Vermont. We were invited to stay at a beautiful farmhouse in Waterbury, Vermont. The trip was just over 3 hours from Massachusetts and a safe distance to practice our new parenting skills.

She’s so sweet and we love her to pieces. We’re getting ready for Christmas (urg, still need christmas tree). I’ve really wanted to start [...]

I've been searching for an antique dresser for the nursery. I was exploring a hundred different dresser styles but wasn't really sure what I wanted. Did I want something country cottage style or more grown-up Swedish look? I spotted this dresser at Grace Sales in Marblehead and fell in love.

I bid $400–estimate was $200-$400–the rug went for $1659. Yikes, I have great taste! Read more: http://www.katyelliott.com/blog/?p=24564#ixzz1zV9LNgJa

Katy Elliott — Fri, 29 Jun 2012 13:00:40 +0000
