On snowy Friday afternoons my thoughts can’t help but turn to hibernation. Or at least a long nap in a cozy bed. If I wasn’t such a rule-abiding curator, I could curl up in the high-post bed in the Northeast Bedchamber and put my doll (or cat!) in the miniature bed at its foot. But since I think someone would notice if there was snoring emanating from the furniture, I’ll have some coffee and get back to work.




Snowy morning! A nice fire or use of a bed warmer before you crawl in.
Days like this make me glad that it’s not the 18th century. I don’t think I’m tough enough to live without central heat.
