wait....hold it. The SUN is out. It is the 20th of December and the weather is gorgeous. This means it is time for a road trip. Only 24 miles away is
MacKenzie-Childs in Aurora, New York. Are you familiar with their pottery, furniture and checkered eclectic look? May I just suggest that if you are ever in the area to go to the shop on Cayuga Lake and stay for a tour of the house.

| Brick paved driveway up to the studio and storefront. NO SNOW!!! |
 |
| The renovated farm house used for pictures for the catalogs and displaying new lines of pottery, tinware, coordinating home decorations and furniture. |
 |
| Glancing back at the lake from the grounds. Also this is the scene that is often painted on the furniture. |
 |
| Inside the store, displays fill the rooms. Since it is almost Christmas, holiday decorations fill the space. |
 |
| From the Christmas tree honoring our pet pooches. |
And now to just show a few pictures from inside the three story farm house. My camera displayed this message: "batteries exhausted". Exhausted? I knew I was snapping away, but please get a second wind, I have pictures to take :)

| This is the breakfast room - one of my favorite spaces. |
Okay, so back home now and my offering for the 10th day of Christmas...
...my true love gave to me
ten spools of vintage thread...
