Faux Real - I love this Faux Fire.

Here in Florida we are having some wonderful cold weather -- the kind you'd expect to

have this time of year, instead of our usual temps in the 80's in December 

and if you've read my blog very long 

at all

you have to know I am just 

OUT 

OF 

MY

MIND 

HAPPY about this!

The house we live in now is old (1891) and has character galore 

but what it no longer has 

are working fireplaces...

It used to have three of them --

two downstairs and one upstairs.

But...

When the house was cut in half and moved out here to the country from it's place

in our town's historic district, 

well...

a lot of things had to be compromised and the fireplaces were one of those things.

All but one of the three still stand and have their mantles, but a peek inside 

the hearth shows that they are now an integral part of the HVAC system

and house the A/C returns.   

Sad.

BUT!

Instead of a crackling fire in the hearth during this wintery weather week,

I've been enjoying 

THIS

FauxFire.com is FABULOUS!

Okay, before you turn your nose up at it and declare it's admittedly hokey 

nature, give it a shot.

It has that beautiful crackling "fire" sound

AND

an INCREDIBLE, long playlist of some 

EXCELLENT CHRISTMAS TUNES!

Just click it on and leave it!  The music will play, you get the

continual crackling of the fire with the music, and the fire

"burning" on your screen as long as you leave it up.

It's been my mainstay as I've been decorating the house

and I thought I'd share it with

you.  

Be back soon to chat!

Love,
