“The rapid nightfall of mid-December had quite beset the little village as they approached it on soft feet over a first thin fall of powdery snow.”
― Kenneth Grahame, The Wind in the Willows

Happy weekend, kittens! I don’t know about you but I’m feeling the pull of the approaching holidays–thing are starting to wind down in the business world (though I was very kindly invited to a few work holiday dos which were a blast) and a deep seated desire to hibernate is making its presence known.

But it’s not Christmas yet, ducklings, and so here’s a tasty batch of links for your enjoyment early in the weekend. Jeff’s got a shindig with friends today, I’m off on the hunt for a final present, and I have plans to scout out a poppin’ pancake joint for review on the site if the brunch gods are with us. Let me know your plans, and any other great links you’ve found this week in the comments.

I confess, this tumblr find gives me a small dose of malicious satisfaction. Because I am a bad person.

Girl is scary talented. Also, I really need to learn how to sew…

I legit have a behavior that I have dubbed “rage baking.”

Fake new is dangerous.

I’m a month late to this one, but this piece hit me hard given the current political climate.

Some end of year music therapy for us all.

And some book therapy too.

Deeply digging the Color of the Year for 2017.

Hope this doesn’t suck…

New style inspiration: teddy girls!

And finally, baby dinosaurs. My inner four year old is pretty excited.
