SPY GIRL'S 52 PICK ME UP LINK UP

 

 

I'm linking up to Spy Girl's 52 Pick Me Up and I do believe I did it the right way around this time.

 This week is "metallic". I'm wearing a coat/tunic I got at Dillard's for $17 and holding  wreath my friend Sarah made.


We had a lovely Christmas. The Doctor got a new outfit (the Ralph Lauren one from the by the pound store) one of these days I'll trick him into posing.


 I got more books. I'm a sucker for a rock n roll bio and I love Jo Nesbo.


 My sister-in-law made the tea towel and the jewelry is from The Dr.  It's from Alchemy 1977. He didn't go to Jerrod's. My sister sent a wine and chocolate box( which is gone) and the house got a new microwave. We don't over do the gifts


We had a small Christmas dinner party and true to form, I didn't take photos.
 I made dinner from my new cookbooks. Which are amazing!


 

 Here's my house on Christmas Eve.


I have a concrete porch, so my house won't burn down.

 

 What do you think of the new colors?

    And your porch lightening is fabulous, great effect with simple ingredients, that's my cup of tea!

    Oh your house looks so magical, I love it! I like the outfit and the wreath too. So glad you had a lovely Christmas - never heard of Jo Nesbo, must add to my Goodreads.

    Um, no you didn't. I will fix it. Next week, a tutorial!
    (You are not alone with the link-up issues).

    Oh, I loves me some Nordic mystery. So dark, cold, and violent. Is the Redeemer new? Once I get out of Library Purgatory (I could have sworn I renewed that Eudora Welty) I will see if they have it.

    Loving the silver tunic coat. Too bad you couldn't wear the wreath! Like as a giant pendant or brooch or halo.

    We haven't opened our presents yet. Schedule conflicts!

    Thanks for linking up! And I see you got your sketch onto the sidebar! So glad you like it. :-)

    Your house looks gorgeous! Love Jo Nesbo and always read Ottolenghi's cookery page in Saturday's Guardian for inspiration. x
