A night on the town

Our idea of a night on the town is usually having  dinner in one of Burlington's wonderful restaurants. Burlington is a lovely typical New England University town and only 10 min. away from out house, so we get to live in the country and still have a great downtown minutes away. We have two favorite restaurants there, one of them is Leunig's  a French Bistro that really transports you to Paris, last night we did just that, downtown was filled with bundled up people, you could feel the cold winter air coming up from the lake and it felt so good to escape into the beautifully lit comfort, oh yes, the food is great too...!

Typical Burlington streets at dusk, you can see the University on the top of the hill:

 

Church st. is the main street, that's were most of the shops and cafe's are:

Leuni'gs

The New Collection

I finally got around to finishing taking photos,listing and posting the new holiday collection, it's been a very crazy few days, hardly any light (I must get some lights) trying to get some alone and quiet computer time (impossible) loads of house guests and three kids at home and hungry. But still with all this going on I am loving every second and seem to thrive in these conditions....

I shot the new designs with darker colors, more of a "wintry" cozy feeling, I hope you like it! so far they are all listed in my Etsy shop and a few will get listed this weekend on my website.

There are tons of more new designs in the shop and some of my designs will be featured in some great blogs and magazines this season! I am sooo excited! I will be posting links soon and in the meantime I strongly suggest doing some early shopping when things are still mellow:)
