gosh.. i love to pretend! all the time with my sweet little cutiepie son. and every so often in day to day living!

now, there's no pretending that it's not FREEZING out, here in beautiful Ottawa today. it's currently -32 C with the windchill! nonetheless... today i'm imagining that i'm suiting up for all the fun events that kick off this weekend with our city's fabulous & fun winterlude !! oh heavens -it's a marvelous time! canal skating, beavertail eating, icesculpting, great outdoor concerts, amazing icesliding and oh so much more! can't wait!

so here we are... let's pretend that a) i like skating (which i sadly do not, but still LOVE our city's rideau canal: the world's longest (and i'd say, loveliest!) skating rink!!!)

and b) that i have access to all the glorious handmade goodies in the world to keep me warm!.... perfect!

so let's celebrate cold cold cold winter... and i've chosen these gorgeous accessory warm-ies for my saturday! both these amazing mittens & this fabulous beret,
both by the ever-glorious
