Bicycle Envy

I am feeling super tired. Have been up every day this week at six in the morning (I know it's only Tuesday but I'm already worn out) and for some reason the one image that has stuck out, from all the different blogs I scour on my phone has been this one above. 

I'm in major bicycle envy territory here people.

Aren't you?

Isn't it beautiful?

My own bike is broken. 

I was terrible to it this winter, leaving it outside to rust and decay. 

And of course because it's out of commission, I now feel like I need to ride it everyday, even though it's has been way too humid for me to even conceive of sweating on my bike across the city.

As for the lovely bike above, it belongs to the equally lovely Sandi from For Design's Sake and to be completely honest, I messaged her just yesterday to say "I'm jealous of your bike."

A Lovely Christmas Protest

One more day of wrapping and we're off to my husband's family Christmas.
It has been a lovely little holiday season.
The husband and I exchanged our gifts last night. I know we jumped the gun but it was the only night we were going to be able to do it calmly. My darling got me some pretty clever gifts plus tickets to the ballet (!) which I had been wanting for over a year. I actually thought he was getting me tickets last year but then he went and got us engaged :)
I'll share some images of the gifts later.
This year has been super nice because we got all our shopping done in one go and stayed on budget while also getting things that I am really happy to give to everyone. I made some Christmas cards and sent them out and then like an idiot forgot to photograph them before we dropped them in the post.

So instead of Christmas cards, please enjoy this image from One Point Oh.
It's a pretty adorable idea and I just had to share it.

Happy Holidays to everyone!
It's been such a pleasure to have entered the blogosphere this year.
I'm excited for everything to come!
