{holiday inspiration: a few moments of repose}

. . . a little in disbelief that there are only two days left until christmas, and at this moment, a beautiful disarray of pine cones and white-sequined ornaments, flows of velvet ribbon and pretty piles of party dresses, and after everything, and if there's time, perhaps a few moments of repose, candlelight and pine-scented garlands, although must confess, quite adore the dashing about this time of year . . .

{p.s.} did you have a chance to watch the astonishingly enchanting lunar eclipse the other night?
