Fancy December

My cousin young Drew took the photo above in my beautiful home state, Vermont. Thanks, Drew-a-lee!

Today is the 6th day of Hanukah, mmmm leftover latkes (thx Ms. Leeb), with winter Solstice and Christmas right on its heels.

Most of my immediate family will be in Austin to celebrate the Solstice soon, and I am so looking forward to it. No snow or mountains, just plenty of sun, rock n'roll, and laughs.

With cute South Congress shops including Parts and Labor, Tesoros, Allen's Boots, and coffee at Jo's all within walking distance, we will easily keep ourselves occupied.

If you are in cold Vermont, I highly recommend growing a sexy 'stache to keep it warm. And real.

For those in our bountiful Pacific NW who are in the market for a rustic-contemporary vacation, check out these dreamy Rolling Huts.

Unique, handmade objects make lovely gifts. I am super fond of Australian resin-crafters Dinosaur Designs.

If planning a party, consider this advice on whom to invite from The Blushing Hostess blog:
It is my opinion there should be an artist, a musician, a pol, a lawyer, a horse trader, an adventurer, a pilot, a dryly amusing Brit, and a siren.

Have you checked out Isabella Rossellini's Green Porno animations for the Sundance Channel? Genius!




Wherever you are and whatever you do, make space for yourself each day to notice your breath.

Love and yoga,

Fawn
