It's still cold out...

...but our firewood holder is still hot. As Lee mentioned on our Facebook (btw have you visited us there?) we get some snow in Chicago. For those fortunate to have a fireplace, the cold and the snow invites a roaring fire. Country Living magazine featured our firewood holder in their Fresh Picks section in February.

The look of cut and stacked firewood helped inspire our lumberyard floor vase. The intricate repetition of the growth rings, showing the history of the tree is reinforced with the repetition of circular forms. For those of us who don't have a fireplace, perhaps this will suffice. (Fun trivia fact born from bitter experience...s'mores toasted on a gas oven burner...disappointing at best)
