Up to Maine for the weekend!!!

Well I forgot the camera in DC and George and I spent the last 3 days getting the house ready for the cold weather! Well George did all the work and I watched all my DVR'd shows I hadn't seen yet and pouring over my favorite decorating blogs!!

These blogs are truly the magazines of the future- or the now for some of us. I actually am totally enthralled by them and it is and addiction - you start on one and find many more linked to the others- Thought I would list a few of my absolute favorites!!!
