Things I.....

 In another life I would love to be a stylist for a magazine. So to satisfy my stylist cravings I use our living room to try design ideas. I played around with the "white wall" yesterday and was pretty happy with the results. It's a good mix of vintage and modern (at least for my taste.)

What do you think?

 My friend Cathie had this darling shoe shine box for sale and I had to snatch it up. I was looking for something to put at the front door so each dotter could keep a pair of shoes close at hand.

 I am getting so excited for Beehive Bazaar and have been busy. I am trying to replenish my party hats since they all sold at SPARK. I am making more for kids too.  Plan to check out the Bazaar the second weekend of December. Wonderful Christmas shopping.

Getting excited for the upcoming holiday season. Trying to figure out a new color palette.

What things are you loving lately?

Fall Decorating

I love the Fall. The air gets crisper, routines are back into full swing and yes....I get to decorate with fab Fall colors. I love earth tones; orange, green, brown and yellow. I pull out a bunch of my Fall stuff but I always try and do something different or new. I love using as much vintage items as possible. So my "styling" looks something like this:

I love old toolboxes and this one was perfect. Compartments for old books, pumpkins and a real topiary.

Remember that cool old cupboard I got, it's now all decked out for Fall and Halloween.

I love old clocks. In this setting, I think it is "vintage spooky"

Added a few ravens to my mirrors.

I love these real pumpkins from a pumpkin tree.

Just a little glimpse into our Fall home. You should see the outside!

My new obsession: Pinterest.....if you haven't checked it out.....DON'T  or you might get hooked like me!

Happy Fall!

Can We Keep FALL a Little Longer......and Halloween

Well it happened. Fall is officially over in Utah. It pretty much snowed all day yesterday, we've pulled out the shovels, thrown salt on the ice, dug out all the boots, gloves, hats and snow pants...and I'm feeling a little blue.

I love the Fall. I love the colors, the weather, Halloween, pumpkin pie, sweaters and I especially love decorating for Fall. I have a pretty impressive stash of Fall "stuff" and every year I always buy something to add to it. I was out shopping yesterday and everything is so Christmas.... right after Halloween (and now before) we are plummeted with Christmas. Don't get me wrong, I love Christmas but I still want to hold on to Fall. I mean we still have Thanksgiving right?

In another life I always thought I would love to be a magazine stylist, say for Country Living or Home Companion. Enjoy me amateur attempts at my Fall styling. I got that really cool gold mirror for $10 at DI(thrift store). You can surround yourself with beautiful things without spending a fortune. As always, sending many creative thoughts your way.

Had to post some Halloween pics for our out of state family members. Our little Geisha girls.
