Look Ma! New Shoes

Don't you love when you find an absolutely good thrift find? How about these shoes that cost me a whopping $4.00? I'm absolutely ecstatic about this find. I usually don't find great thrift shoes because they are either really worn out/ dirty or the cute ones aren't in my size! Darn you size 7 feet... don't you know that's the average size for women? Well thrift store, keep the cute shoes coming!!

The Night of Nights

Happy Halloween everyone! I hope it's a good one! It's one of the days of the year we get to act childlike again and get a way with it! I'll be handing out candy to the little one's tonight while making a Halloween feast for Drew & I. What are your plans? What are you dressing up as?

Lovely Friday!

Friday always comes just in time, doesn't it? I'm ready for some time off from work. This weekend I will be prepping our house for the inevitable snowfall. I'll be baking some yummy Halloween treats for a Monday potluck at my work. Me & Drew will be spending some time at Halloween festivities & I'll also be meeting with the cutest bride to discuss the flowers for her wedding.

I hope you all have a fantastic weekend! Get one of these in if you can & enjoy your Halloween festivities.

Home Inspiration: Animals

Is this a trend to hit or miss? Little animals knickknacks used to decorate with. I personally like the whimsical style of it. I'm just not sure if I could make it look as great as these.  My favorite is the birthday cake dinosaur & the bottle brush Christmas Ornaments. Or how about just a photo of the animals on the wall. That might be cool right?

So what do you think, yay or nay?

November Wishlist

I learned a new trick for all you Mac users! Usually I screen print for images that won't allow me to save to my folders. But I found out you can select what you screen print. Just hit command, shift and the number 4. You will notice that your mouse will now have a cross. Select the area you want to screen print and let go. Wallah!!

I'm in love with red-orange of all hues this Autumn! Can't you tell? Now that it's cooling off I need  some new flats! I have dozens of sandals, but hardly any flats! These sparkly loafers from JCrew are to die for! I'm going to have to find a less expensive pair though! I also need some new mittens and a new wallet. Okay, and how about that grey and red-orange blanket? I'm in love! I also have the desire to start collecting something. I was thinking of vintage sheers. What do you think?

I found some of these things at Mohawk General Store and Brook Farm General Store. They have the most stunning products! Half of which will be on my Xmas list!

You can find these lovely things here: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5

Embracing Fall

Living in Utah, it's not very often that we get to enjoy Autumn. It usually snows before the end of October and is cold and white until April. I am counting my blessings that this year, it's been a warm and colorful fall. I am constantly surrounded by the beautiful Rocky Mountains. What a sight they are in Fall!

I think the reason I love Fall so much, and especially October, is it's my birth month. My soul is more awake during October! I feel more creative, more outgoing, more happy. Simply because I feel like the best me there is, out of the entire year! Do you feel that energy around your birthday? Or maybe around a certain time of the year?

Paper Bowls

Man oh man, after looking at my For the Home board on Pinterest, I love so many different styles! I guess you could call my dream home eclectic. I would FILL it to the brim with beautiful thing! Things from different places & times & styles. I could never, ever, ever narrow it down to one decor style! So, if you don't like chaos, you will not like my future home. (It's too early in my collecting phase to scare any OCD people yet!) I love clean & modern styles. I love the cleanliness of chevrons & stripes, white paint mixed with bright colors & minimalistic furniture. But on the other hand I love all things ethnic, earthy & vintage. I love ethnic patterns & vintage furniture. I'm in love with hand painted kitchenware & earthy colors. There are way too many beautiful things out  there!

Lately my obsession is with all things paper. I love all the neat crafts you can do with old books! They color of old book pages, YUM! I love the vintage & recycled look that goes along with the paper. Okay, so what do you think of the beautiful bowls by Cecilia Levy? I want one of them to put in my china hutch as decor. Unfortunately they are made of paper so they are just for show, but boy, are they pretty!
