A few random items.

I am learning why everything shuts down here with only a few inches of snow. It is WET, WET, WET! I took this first picture of our winter tree:
Here is the same tree with another two inches. The poor branches were hanging on for dear life.
It's pretty crazy when you see the humongous trees with their branches sagging like that. Many branches, and some entire trees, couldn't handle the weight. Note to self: Never park the car under a tree when it storms.

Daphne likes to eat snow :)

Now on to some fun new World Market purchases. Have I mentioned that I love that store?

As part of their rewards program, I earned myself some extra cash to spend in the store. These are my bold new curtains for spring and summer. I'll post in a couple of months when I officially hang them.

The color scheme was inspired by this butterfly sticker display I made:

Up next was the unexpected purchase. I have admired this Sullivan chair every time I go to the store, but I was not in the market to buy one right now. However, I found out that they were being discontinued. There were only two left in the store and they were on sale, so I brought it home with me. $200 well spent, I say. It brightens up our living room and provides a place to sit other than the couch. I was a little nervous about going with the blue, but I like it. What do you think?
