Crisp white dresses full of marvelous details aren’t just for summer. They are equally charming in the winter, especially around the holidays!
White!
Creamy white with a ruffle bordered with lace insertion
ice and vanilla
Tucks and wide broderie anglaise, on a large enough scale that one or the other would have to be chosen as the decorative element on the skirt of a dress
A simple white wool with hand embroidered hemline.
Snowy winter woods…
Rows upon rows of tucks with an eyelet hemline.
Sheer white cotton with multiple rows of lace insertion.
This morning we woke to the sight of millions of tiny snow flakes filling the air, falling, falling all through the morning… Bring nature’s perfect Christmas decoration.
The sewing studio tucked into it’s woodland home.
We are blessed with an abundance of rocks here in New England, which previous owners of our home put to good use. In this case as a truly outstanding pig pen.
The sharp scent of pine in the air.
Snow covered painting studio.
Tack and tobacco barns…
Snow “Mushrooms”
Beeskeps sit on a covered shelf at the front of the painting studio.
A simple boxwood wreath adorns the front door.
A clean unbroken stretch of snow.
The reds and greens of our Christmas landscape…
The tobacco barn, 240+ winters…
Two little Ismays, looking centuries old… I love them at this stage ❤
The ultimate Christmas tree?
A clean, peaceful view out my painting studio window.

clap your hands!
Ready for wiinter with firewood stacked by the door.
Can you tell this wreath hangs on the door of my sewing studio? Strands of thread instead of tinsel dangle from it’s evergreen sprigs.
