Black and White...

...and a bit in between.

Do you have this in your collection?

It just went on my wishlist.

Lovely!

P.S. Want to create your own wishlist?

Go {here} to create a universal wishlist (it allows you to add items from any website.)

Once you have the wishlist feature in place, visit the emporium and look for your list to appear on the bottom right of the page. I use it not only as my "wishlist" for gifts I'd like to receive, but just as an organizational tool to keep track of items I like and may buy for myself or the house or gifts for others.

"It is not necessary to hide your reserve of winter logs. Crude wood gives a different aspect to this dignified room, evoking a Venetian palace." ~excerpt from A Well Kept Home, Household Traditions and Simple Secrets from a French Grandmother

"In the autumn and winter months, we strongly recall the smoky burn of leaves and firewood. Accordingly, a priority for many of us when we imagine our ideal home is a fireplace. The hearth is a symbol central to a family's functioning, retooled for comfort and leisure. Today we come together at the hearth, and at the first crackle of fuel set ablaze, we settle into the iconic smell of cold weather—flame on wood. And like all nostalgia of scent, we name the experience: Home." ~Louis Sagar, excerpt from Zona Home
