Ice Fishing in the Last Frontier, NBD

The past week has been a whirlwind -- flew up to Alaska for Christmas with the family, then went straight back to the airport to pick up a few dear friends and a dear boyfriend flying in from NYC.  Yesterday we drilled holes in the lake and dangled bait into the dark, cold abyss below the ice for hours; after plenty of nibbles and lost bait, LO AND BEHOLD: A FISH! (We then fried it up and devoured it like real outdoorsmen/outdoorswomen. It was delicious.)

And speaking of the great outdoors, how adorable are these tents from Fieldcandy? They're maybe not-so-suitable for the arctic temperatures we're experiencing at the moment, but come summertime....
