Thinking about spring with the hope that it will come early this year. Such a time for renewal and change. I am in love with pretty much anything in Belgian linen. Transitioning from winter to spring and making a simple change of pillow covers brings a bit of freshness at home.
Highlighting a few winners in our Libeco Belgian Linen Collection. Here are my current favorites.
Changing the guest hand towels to linen hand towels-super luxe and eco-friendly, made without chemicals.
Dreams are truly sweet with pure linen pillowcases. Really! I am so persnickety about sleeping conditions and find that a linen pillowcase is soft, cool, comfortable and gentle to the touch.
In the kitchen, a sturdy, functional linen apron is essential. Easy wash and dry-lasts forever.





















In an effort to use some carrots before they spoiled and to get rid of all of the remaining ingredients from holiday baking (think calorie laden sweet stuff) I tinkered with muffin making yesterday afternoon and I think I found a winner. Although named carrot coconut muffins, I added currants and almonds too. The result was akin to a morning glory muffin yet just a bit lighter in texture. Of course I had to top them off with a maple glaze- that too was to rid myself of confectionery sugar- a true weakness for me just knowing it is in the cupboard.
It hasn’t looked like winter in New England until this morning after a light overnight snowfall dusting the trees like icing on a cupcake. On my morning walk the colors of the snow covered trees against the bright blue sky was spectacular. I can’t wait until lunchtime when I will reward myself with a walk in the woods for completing my morning workload.


Time for a winter nap. Stock up in our big sale on all of our luscious lambswool throws from Scotland and Wales. Soft, sumptuous and definitely cozy as a lamb.
