rain check
Tuesday, September 28, 2010 at 5:33 PM
On our second straight day of rain in New York, I thought up a little list of things one might do. What do you enjoy doing on a rainy day?

I AM OBSESSED WITH YOU. In a totally non-creepy way... xx
My very favorite post on Lox Papers...ever.
Not that I haven't love them all, but this one does 'top the {cup}cake. :)
What an adorable post! I will def reflect back on this!
Luvs!
if my rainy days are like this, let it rain!!
Perfection. Tell me your secrets, lovely Jane. You achieve perfection in every post, but this one goes beyond even that! :)
I love to watch a move or read when it is raining. there is something so peaceful about the rain. and I have to say that I have completely enjoyed wearing my wellies around the past couple days!

Oh Jane, you're so silly -- I enjoy reading your blog everyday, rain or no! I love baking and cooking on rainy days, especially if it's cold. And while I'm waiting for things, I read. It's perfect.
i didn't know you lived in new york as well! i've enjoyed the rain the past couple of days. makes me feel less guilty for being a bit lazy. woops.
What a great post - both visually and conceptually. Great picks, great ideas and great pink numbers!
I love this! Esp going to the museum and lounge in your slippers. I also would like to add read a mystery novel or thriller. Perfect for rain!
Love it! We had two straight days of rain too... I definitely took advantage of my time to stay inside!

It's raining over in London too so this post is very apt. Love lounging in slippers and learning to cook something new. Alas have to venture out to buy ingredients.
You pretty much nailed it!! Except I'd add "take a nap" - something about napping during a rain storm that's so decadent! I just adore this post - a great way to look at a rainy day
I found your blog via someone reblogging it on the blog site, Tumblr. This is so lovely, all of it! Your whole blog is so darling. I've been marveling over it for a good 25 minutes or so. Your wedding was so beautiful/my dream wedding! Hahah. You look so happy. I must say, I'm more than impressed.
Love this! What a wonderfu post and fantastic ideas. So happy to have found this link as rainy days do actually make me smile. :)
too cute!!
This is so perfect! I'm saving it forever.
Love this post! I like to read books wrapped in a blanket with candles lit. Or walk in the rain without an umbrella.
Go out on a mini puddle jumping trip to the local cellar and buy an affordable but delicious bottle of red wine. Then come home and don most comfy clothes and get either a good book, some light studying material or pop on a good flick and relax to the sound of the rain on the roof. x
This is adorable! I love the layout!
love it :)
i love this post!!!!! thank you!
Just found your blog through Cup of Jo! It's so lovely!!

Oh I just came across your blog and I love it! It is so clever and chic! We did have such a long spell of rain here in NYC. We were lucky to have such a beautiful weekend! When it rains I love to laze in bed with a stack of unread magazines and a warm cup of coffee!
Ah, what a nice post.
My ideal rainy day would be making a walk through my city (Amsterdam) in my raincoat. Followed up by snuggling up on the couch in pyjama's, while playing old Billie Holiday records, and drinking a cup of hot chocolat. Or glühwein. All the above preferably in good company.
:-)
I just shared this on my blog (linking back to you of course!) Love it!
