A Year of Great Reads

2012 was our first whole year as a blog, and it's been such a fun experience. We are so glad we have been able to share our great love of books and home with you all. Here's our little highlight reel:

We pretty much started 2012 with our all time favorite lady: Jane Austen.







We honored Irish Authors for St. Patty's Day...



Took a walk in the garden with Beatrix Potter...



We spent the spring in the garden, sharing some raspberry cordial with our favorite redheaded heroine: Anne of Green Gables






In Summer we headed out to the Little House on the Prairie...








Then we jumped across the pond to have a Midsummer Night's Dream with Mr. Shakespeare,
and spend some time with the fairies...







We sailed down the Mississippi with Huckleberry Finn, and put the wash out on the line (Or in the newly remodeled laundry/mud room)...



We spent fall reading poetry...



And Halloween with Edgar Allan Poe...



We celebrated an Alcott Autumn...



and finished the year with the Christmas Carols...




It's been an amazing year, and we've been so lucky to share it with our readers. Every comment you have made has brightened our day, and we are so grateful. Here's to an amazing 2013!

We'll be starting the year off with Benjamin Franklin's "Poor Richard's Almanac"

See you soon!

  3. I so adore your blog! All the books you've featured have been great along with all of your projects. Looks like I missed the piano and the laundry room posts. I'll have to check them out. I need to look back at your Beatrix Potter posts as well. I have a nursery to decorate before the end of June!! I'v been collecting Beatrix Potter items for quite a few years now and I can't wait to get started! :) ~ Jamie
