Hello sweet friends. I think much of the U.S. is preparing for an artic blast. We are ready here at Storybook Cottage and plan to stay safely at home. Here’s to Friday Favorites The Long Winter.
Over on my Facebook I posted this image and invited others to leave their tips in the comments. It has made for some smart reading. Just click HERE to see the tips.
Friday Favorites The Long Winter
I made a big pot of chili and a pan of gluten free cornbread last night. Today at lunch I will be making a pot of lemon orzo soup to keep us going if we lose power.
1908 Farmhouse
This 120 year old farmhouse in Missouri has recently been lovingly restored. There are tons of before and after images.
DIY Felt Snowflakes
I plan to do lots of crafting and hand sewing this weekend. If you’re in need of fun winter decor these felt snowflakes are lovely.
Cozy Cottage Bedroom Ideas
I’ve piled on all the comforters in all the bedrooms. This article features 29 small but charming cottage bedrooms.
Think Pink
Storybook Cottage needs some new door decor. I love the idea of some pink ice skates against the green door.
These images were found on Pinterest with no DIY links but I think the vignettes could be recreated fairly easily.

That’s a great list, Laura. I never thought of the plastic bags. -17 here this morning. I think you are or have been getting the brunt of this before us. Hang in there!
