Here she is, my 8 x 24' tiny house. The interior measures 8 x 18'. My little shabby chic tiny retreat. When I sit in my home it is like being wrapped in a hug. So cozy, so sweet. So perfect. I dressed her in pink and white for the holidays and the theme " I'm dreaming of a pink Christmas" seems fitting. Looks like it is going to be a white Christmas I am a boot aholic Looking in the front door My nook on the left, WC - water closet on the right My guest loft, fits 2 twin beds, a queen bed or a single bed with extra space for storage The view from my master loft My faux fireplace sits in front of my built in wall heater Fireplace mantle made from an old chippy door Lots of mirrors in the tiny house to reflect light Bunting made by Michelle of Back Through Time, on Etsy My guest loft Peeking through a chandelier is fresh garland from my yard Chandelier adds charm to my reading nook View through the mirror I have a collection of angels through out my tiny house Looking out toward the kitchen from the nook area Looking toward the kitchen and master loft from the nook area Faux vintage ornaments mixed with real vintage crystals My pretty little tree I choose ornaments to reflect light The view from my reading nook Private and cozy spot for a nap My comfy chase My $2.00 vintage medicine cabinet re purposed as a spice cabinet View of the kitchen Pink rag rug from Target - Fresh holiday garland Ready for the Christmas party Mercury glass and silver bulbs reflect light to make a tiny space sparkle Hand painted sign by Rose Cottage Chic I like to mix vintage, whimsy and flea market finds W I S H - Christmas Tree topper Getting ready for my "I'm dreaming of a pink Christmas" party Before I purchased my tiny house I had an idea of how I wanted to decorate it. I was hugely inspired by a stylist named Sandra Foster who has the most amazing tiny house in the world, at least to me. I prefer it over any tiny home that I have ever laid eyes on. It is by far my favorite tiny house and blog ever. Her talent and style has inspired women all over the world. Her tiny studio has been in tons of magazines books and on television shows. I hung Christmas lights in my master loft and also used white fabric draped from the ceiling as a sort of ' knock-off', style of Sandy's adorable cottage in the Catskills. I want to take the time here to recognize her and hope that she sees my little knock off loft look, as a form of flattery and know that I acknowledge her as the queen of shabby cottage décor. Thanks for inspiring me, to try a similar look for my little shabby chic girl cave and retreat. A very special THANKS to two special and talented lady's who's crafts and art work helped to make my little tiny house more festive this holiday season. Jill from Rose Cottage Chic painted the adorable pink sign with roses that says - I'm dreaming of a pink Christmas that I hung in my window above my table. She mixed her own milk paint recipe for my sign. She has an amazing website and also does custom orders. I also want to thank Michelle, who made the little bunting (the hand made W-I-S-H letters) that are vintage style, which I hung against the mirror above my fireplace. She also made my sweet W-I-S-H vintage tree topper. It is a pleasure to do business with people that are so pleasant, who provide incredible personalized customer service. I also loved the thoughtful gift wrap (below picture) that my order arrived in. Michelle has an Etsy shop called Back through time with gifts for all seasons and for absolutely no reason. Both women have wonderful hand made crafts. Gift wrapped order from, Back through time Bunting made by Back through time, available on Etsy My Christmas tree topper I also wanted to include some very interesting information about the color pink which I found on Debbie's site. By the way, Debbie bought a 320 square foot home from Scott of Slabtown Customs, who is the same builder that built my tiny house. Look around her blog once you are there to see more of her sweet little family home. May you be blessed this holiday season. Merry Christmas. Tonita This post is shared with - Marlyn's Treats

I'm sure you've seen them. Those packages of teeny tiny mini candies, right there in the grocery store checkout line. I'm not talking about the regular minis that we're used to seeing at Halloween time,
No matter how much you might like your job, at least some frustration is inevitable. You have to do mundane tasks or deal with toxic colleagues. Other times, you have to keep pushing through despite being burned out and wondering what it’s all for. Humor can be a lifesaver in these situations. When you learn to laugh at things, no matter how difficult they get, they no longer hold power over you.
Most people are worried they might accidentally burn the turkey in the oven, not have their Christmas tree set on fire. The 50-foot tall Christmas tree that stood outside Fox News’ Manhattan headquarters was set alight just after midnight on December 8. Thankfully, nobody was hurt. Meanwhile, the police quickly arrested the suspect. However, the story didn’t end there. The internet saw this as a meme-worthy opportunity and started making jokes about the incident, mostly due to Fox News’ reputation in the United States and globally.

Cette gourmandise aurait été ramenée de Florence sous le règne de Louis XII. Composés d'amandes, de miel, de zestes d'orange et de chocolat, les Florentins accompagnent à merveille un bon café. Pour que le plaisir soit total, le Florentin doit être riche en amandes et en orange et croquant à souhait. Les meilleurs sont ceux que l'on fait soi-même ou que l'on achète chez le pâtissier. Ne croyez pas qu'ils soient compliqués à faire. Hormis le tempérage du chocolat, le reste est un jeu d'enfant. Florentins: (d'après Fou De Pâtisserie) 130 g de sucre 70 g de miel 70 g de crème liquide 70 g d'écorces d'orange (recette ici) 150 g d'amandes effilées 150 g de chocolat noir (Tanzanie 75%, Barry) 1,5 g de beurre de cacao (Mycryo, Barry) Mettre le sucre, le miel et la crème dans une casserole. Faire cuire à 118°C. Pendant ce temps, peser les amandes et couper les écorces d'oranges en petits cubes. Quand le mélange atteint la bonne température, enlever la casserole du feu et ajouter les amandes et les écorces. Mélanger. Préchauffer le four à 170°C. Verser une cuillère de préparation dans des moules à muffins en silicone. Avec ces quantités, j'ai fait 24 Florentins. Mes moules étant par 12, j'ai donc fait deux cuissons. Enfourner pendant 10/12 minutes. Ils doivent avoir une belle couleur dorée. Laisser refroidir avant de démouler. Tempérer le chocolat. Placer le chocolat dans un bain marie. L'enlever dès qu'il commence à fondre, car la température ne doit pas excéder les 40/45 °C. Laisser refroidir à 34/35°C tout en remuant à l'aide d'une spatule. Ajouter le beurre de cacao. Continuer à mélanger jusqu'à atteindre 31/32°C. Préparer un bain-marie à 32°C et y déposer le saladier de chocolat afin de le maintenir à la bonne température. Tremper chaque Florentin dans le chocolat. Enlever l'excédent et les déposer au fur et à mesure sur une silpat ou une feuille de Rhodoïd. Laisser durcir avant de les décoller. Pour finir: comme j'avais justement une jolie boite vide de Florentins, j'en ai profité pour les ranger dedans. C'était parfait! Croyez-moi, faits maison, ils sont bien meilleurs que ceux qui s'étaient trouvés dans la boite... S'il vous reste un peu de chocolat tempéré, vous pouvez le laisser durcir sur la silpat et le remettre dans la boite pour une utilisation future. Vous pouvez aussi l'utiliser comme j'ai fait ici.
