AND THIS WEEKEND was holiday errands, a new hutch and organising before family arrives for the holidays, the florist across town for holly & evergreen wreaths—[one tied in fuchsia satin ribbon, and the other, in Flower of Scotland tartan]— sequins and the search for mistletoe and long conversations late, late into the night, plans & dreams and drinks by candlelight, and yards of satin and white velvet ribbon . . .
