Sunday Night dinner

Although there is absolutely nothing Scandinavian about tonights dinner, the feeling is. It has been raining all day so I decided to make a meal earlier on that I could put back into the fridge and enjoy for a few meals. I made a veggie baked ziti packed with seasonal vegetables and a little bit of cheese. When you combine a delicious meal, candles, rain and a little wine, you can't help but smile and get that hyggeligt feeling.

Umbrella stands

This would make a great umbrella stand!

It is pouring, cold and windy here in NY today; which I have taken as the perfect excuse to give myself the day off to relax, watch movies, read and cook. I have gone out a few times with Ailsa and a much needed umbrella. The umbrella got me thinking about umbrella stands, which can be a great addition to an entryway. We have a small wooden and metal stand, which works perfectly for us, however I am always up to change things out. Here are some umbrella stands I came across. Although I don't have a photo of one up, I also love the idea of using something vintage like a galvanized milking pail.
