Wonderful list, not sure about the 5am get up time! (are you mad?!) Have a wonderful New Years Eve and may 2011 bring you many happy adventures. ax
I am with you on everything but the 5 am wake-up call! I adore my sleep, but when I do wake up, I adore looking at your blog! I am counting the hours, nay, the minutes, until Matchbook comes out! Happy New Year!
Come on over for a cooking lesson! I’ll teach you some super simple meals that the Mr will LOVE!
ps. You have to help me convince Mr. Eric to get Hector :)
Amber — I’m an early bird, we’re an odd bunch, I know… Happy New Year to you as well! xo
Nancy — Thank you so much for your excitement over Matchbook! You get plenty of sleep, we want healthy, happy readers : )
Caitlin — I hope Mr. Eric can be convinced!!! And yes to a cooking lesson. I’ll stand by with a class of bubbly and watch you slave over the stove : )
Can’t wait for the online magazine!!! So glad to have found your fantastic blog in 2010 and looking forward to more wonderful inspiration in 2011 :) Happy New Year!

I love this! Especially the handwritten notes part … I truly think it is soon to be a lost art maybe not though. There is something so beautiful about a sweet sentiment that is handwritten. Just added your blog to my blog roll as I frequent it everyday and it brings me so much joy! Happy New Year! xo
That’s a wonderful list!
We get up very early around here and I love it…the early morning quiet is like nothing else!
Cheers to you and yours for a fabulous new year and especially for the forthcoming Matchbook Magazine!!
These are as darling as you – though my being awake at 5 am had best precede my taking a vacation that day! Have a fabulous new year!
Stephanie — You always make me smile. Happy New Year friend! Hope you and yours are doing well! xoxo
I wish you all of the best in 2011!!! I am sure you will have great success. You are lovely and genuine….and I like you so much without even knowing you!
Health, Happiness and Peace!
xoxo Kit
Katie,
Once Matchbook launches, will you still be doing your Neo Trad blogs ?
Oh I hope so !! I love them so much.
Happy New Year!! And may 2011 be filled with style and grace for us all !
One book per week?! Where do you find the time? If you’re looking for something easy to cook, please visit my blog for ideas. TRUST me, if I can cook it, you can, too! Happy New Year, Katie!
Before 5am? What is wrong with you? hehe I have set my alarm at 8am for weeks now and haven’t gotten up then once. But now I have some motivation… since I am always complaining about there not being enough hours in the day.
Wonderful list! I love your resolution to buy more fresh blooms. I always want to, but never do. I think this year I’ll make a point to do that too! Last year I decided to write at least one letter/note/thank you card per week to someone. It was great, because it encouraged me to keep up with out of town friends and people told me all year how much they loved getting “real” mail.
Definitely with you on waking up earlier, I spent too much time in bed last year! The handwritten notes are a great idea too, I had so much fun with my thank you notes over the past year, and they justify my ever-growing collection of stationary!
I’m also including “invite friends over for dinner more often” to my list. We live in a tiny apartment, but that’s no excuse!
