Same long winter in north italy too, can you believe it? Hope you’re right… because here they’re saying that we’ll have snow again this week, and all my daughter wants to do is to go outside :(
warm toughts to you

Yes, it will end – I keep telling myself this every day! The cats are going insane, Will just wants to go for a walk without freezing to death, and I’d like to get down my driveway withou taking my life in my hands! But spring must come soon!

it will! it must! i can feel it. actually, i was pleasantly surprised today to see some little green sprouts coming from the ground! wow! impressive, because our ground has been covered here since a week before christmas. i’m not kidding! it’s no wonder one of dotty’s most popular questions is “eat snow?? eat snow??” and now she answers her own question- by saying, “noooo… dirty.”

haha, i think we’ve all had our fill :)
here’s to spring!

yep, it’s gross and black here along the roads and in the parking lots- sooooo eh. i think we are in for a meltdown, it’s supposed to be a crispy 50-something over the next couple days!!!! i am really looking forward to not negatively obsessing over the weather. :)

Oh, you tease! I totally thought that this was an “Awesome Shoes Added to the Etsy Shop”-themed post. :)

Love those shoes . . . esp the bowling shoes (?) with that skirt and the vintage pumps on ladybugs! Well, as winters go in w. wyoming we’ve had a mild one. But we can always count on winter lasting into June! I hardly have the season to wear cute sandals, etc.
It is so fun to visit you here . . . thanks.

Jenny,

Sending you warm weather vibes from sunny Austin, TX. Would you be so kind as to tell me where you got sweet Dotty’s little red sandals? I *adore* and my Miss Romy has to have some like that!

hi miss stacy! thank you for the warm vibes- it must be working… we are in the mid 40s and it’s sunny! which actually feels nice!!!!!! i’m sure 40s to a texas girl is like, eeek, where’s mah coat!? but for us, it’s a pretty nice treat right about now :)

We have actually been spoiled weather-wise this winter but I still live in a part of Canada where it isn’t unusual to have snowstorms in August (not kidding either – it is usually the August long-weekend when we are all at the Canmore Folk Fest in our parkas and sleeping bags…but I digress) so it is all relative right?

What I really want to say: is that a ladybug carpet???!!!??? Because I think I need it! Where did you get it?
