Friday Favorites The Long Winter

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.

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. 

This may contain: a bowl of chicken noodle soup with carrots and parsley

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. 

This may contain: two beds in a room with white walls and black iron bed frames, one has a quilt on it

Think Pink

Storybook Cottage needs some new door decor. I love the idea of some pink ice skates against the green door. 

This may contain: a pair of ice skates hanging on a blue door with pink ribbon and flowers

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!
