A collection of winter white and sparkling silver and crystal items

Once winter arrives, that's not a reason to stop wearing white.  Today I decided to put together a collection of a few items, priced from $15 on up, that will have you stepping out in winter style.

Christmas in Boston MA New England

I wanted to share these photos of Boston during the Christmas season.  They are unedited and out of order, but I wanted to make sure I got them up to enjoy before Christmas arrives, which is in a few days.  

I love this photo.  I just wish I was able to ask all of the car owners to move their cars :-).

Sipping Champagne from Simon Pearce Harland glasses

Being served Champagne and wine, in Simon Pearce stemware, was an unexpected treat for us when we arrived at Twin Farms, in Vermont.  I have visited the Simon Pearce showroom and glass blowing studio for years, seen their items in retail stores, and have been to signature events hosted by the company.  Sipping champagne, from their handcrafted pieces of functional art, is always a pleasure.
