Writing while being warmed by a fire is something you must experience, often.
Writing while curled up in a reading nook fireside if possible. Dreamlike? Yes, quite.
Fireplaces are too often overlooked and underused, sometimes solely
turned to during a power outage.
Nothing has been more mentally refreshing than these past few days away.
Yes, I missed Boston Fashion Week and some of the accompanying
parties but I feel somewhat brand new if that makes any sense.
When I was young, my father installed one of those then progressive
gas fireplaces that emits heat yet lacks all of the maintenance and mess.
It was a marvel and I felt so lucky.
Since then, fireplaces have become infinitely more creative, modern and convenient.
The feel of natural heat is incredible and the smoky scent unparalleled.
Who knew I could wax on so poetically about well… a fire?
Happy Sunday! I hope you are enjoying yourself as much as I am.

September 30, 2012There's something about cozying up to a fireplace, even in the heat of the summer, that is so appealing to me. Especially old fireplaces, the ones that need constant upkeep because they burn real wood. I love the smell and the memories that it brings.

October 1, 2012Ooh, # 5 is just beautiful – I love fireplaces in the fall and winter; despite the fact that there is rarely a need for them in SoCal. 😛
