My Hawthorne Hurricane was sitting in the window as naked as could be and looking a little chilled. I suppose since it is still January I could have dressed him like his brother at the Winter White party in Birmingham…

Or a similar look from the Plate and Pattern Holiday Place Setting Contest.

Instead I took my inspiration from Mississippi Mud Eclectic Designs and decided to dress my hurricane in a lovely white sweater. I found the perfect sweater for $3.99 at Savers. It was a soft white with interesting detail and blends perfectly with all my other Winter White Home Decor.

I pulled the sleeve of the sweater up over the bottom of the hurricane. I was lucky enough to have a perfectly snug fit around the bottom. Then I pull it up and snipped it leaving plenty of room to stuff down into the hurricane. Nothing permanent for me, as you know!

These sticks with pearly beads seemed to be the perfect filler for the vase.

I concealed another glass vessel down inside so the sticks would arrange themselves perfectly. Shhh – don’t tell anyone.

I think the sweater is a perfect touch for now and looking forward to spring. I imagine forcing quince or forsythia branches in this vase. I also think it would be adorable filled with tulips. This all makes me think of that perfect little sweater over that spring dress!

This look all seemed very romantic so I decided to accessorize accordingly for the upcoming holiday for now.

The bonus is I got a lovely new pillow cover as well.

I think it adds just the right amount of cozy to this chilly, winter window! What do you think?
