the cabin
An admission: I am re-reading Wuthering Heights. Something about February being generally wild and all over the place makes it strangely appropriate. Either that or I am a glutton for punishment. Either that, or I am a 13 year old girl trapped in a grown woman's body. Most likely, the idea of visiting a truly blustery coast again has finally sunk in. We are taking a little impromptu trip this weekend. To the seashore and back.
the room
It will likely snow; we will likely spend the entire time indoors by the fire. The dog may or may not be terrified of the ocean. (I am hoping we'll have to pry his tiny paws from the sand. We're taking bets.) When I say this place is special to me, I mean that there aren't really words to describe it. I tried once. I'm also excited to post through the weekend over at Habit. My experience there also happens to defy description. I love it. It's extraordinary. Being part of it is even more extraordinary. But it's impossible to find the right words.
And when I return, I will try not to bore you with photos of a small dog in a bright yellow rain slicker.
Happy Friday, everyone. And have a Happy Happy Valentines Day. xoxo
All love,
*Andrea
is it bad to say that i'm excited for you to go away so i can see more photos of this magical place? i was so awestruck by them last time (just seeing them again here makes my heart flutter) i suppose if i can't go away for impromptu weekends, i'll just live vicariously through yours. happy weekend m'dear.

This is such a beautiful photo. I have to admit, I have never read this book. Shhh. : )

Sounds like a wonderful place. Oh, and bring on many, many dog and rain slicker photos as the mere thought of it makes me smile.

You are my blogging hero.
Your posts; short and sweet-witty and fun always bring a smile to my face. And I'm not even going to talk about the gorgeous photos...so good!
I hope you two had a lovely, lovely weekend. And now I'm yearning for some Heathcliff love...

Scout- Love your photos! That one of the house is something that appears in my dreams! You are such an inspiration, especially as a college art student. BY the way - great choice with Wuthering Heights! Keep up the great work!

Re-reading Wuthering Heights seems a very worthy admission to me, my friend. Rest well, little bookworm.

I keep coming back here (to see if you've posted again) and to look at that beautiful photo of the house - there is something so quiet and gentle and magical about it.

Hi, I've just came across your blog today - and I am so pleased I found it. Your photos are beautiful and I am swooning over the photo of the cabin. I will be back to explore your blog in more detail - just lovely!

i love your cabin. it looks perfect.
we are lucky enough to have a home by the coast too.
altho i love being there in summer, there is a sort of magic in winter-visiting. i am really the only one in my family who enjoys the chill of winter so often it is just me and my friends cosied up by the fire enjoying warm home cooking and long hours of talking.
