POSIE GETS COZY

photos courtesy of Alicia Paulson

I can't really put my finger on why Alicia Paulson's blog, Posie Gets Cozy always makes me feel satisfied, like the way you feel after curling up on a rainy day with a good book, or taking a nap in the breezy shade on a hot day, or sipping steaming coffee in the early morning on the stoop with the cats. I could go on, but you get the idea.

Whether she's talking about the weather in Portland, sewing, cleaning, thrifting, dinner parties, or raving about her sweet husband Andy--and even when she's home in bed sick & sniffly, I always love reading about Alicia's world, which is warm & cozy, the way life should be. What can I say, this is one amazing crafty designing domestic Goddess.

And if someone doesn't make Alicia gather up all her wonderful photos and publish a book, I'll just die. (that's a hint, Andy!)
