I'm back with a quick look at this year's party invite. Usually something sparks some creativity in me, but I had nothing. Finally, I drew some branches on a piece of paper and added some berries to it. We threw the party at the roller rink again so then I thought - no berries - lets make it a skate wheel. This is...
You could say I'm behind on this one - like an entire year! The invitations I created for our party last year came out so well that I wanted to share them before I share this years invite. There is some kind of new inspiration I find each year - whether it be a color scheme that maybe isn't quite Christmas - or...
It's been a busy week - getting ready for a big party - but I wanted to sit down for a few minutes and get this board out into the world. I'm just going to be quick here today - so here are the details ... Faux Fur Vest - just too cute - and 40% off right now. I love this color. mpix -...
A new week - and some new finds. This blanket is so bulky and beautiful. It also comes in gray. This is the kind of blanket that adds warmth and texture wherever you use it. A huge splurge for a pillowcase, but I can understand why it would be worth the investment. This black and white photo of ski slopes reminds me of a...
It's been awhile since I have shared a tabletop - so here is my simple Thanksgiving table. My inspiration began with a paper feather garland, and an adorable Thanksgiving towel that I nabbed on clearance at Nordstrom. $9 later I had my starting point. From there I just went through my cupboards and gathered the rest of what I needed. Having a...
I've been busy getting our house ready for Thanksgiving, and thinking ahead to Christmas. I've got my Thanksgiving table to share, Christmas Party invites (from last year and this year), what I'm wrapping my gifts with this year, recipes, trees, etc. We are simplifying our gift buying this year so that makes me less stressed already :) I'm looking forward to enjoying the...
With the weather turning colder I'm all about being cozy and comfortable. Pajama's - so much love for them. My grandma used to get me a new pair at Christmas & I always loved them. I recently picked up the pajama pants shown above. They are the kind of pair that just about temps you to get 2 just incase something happens to...

Quick and Delicious - Let's Make Cinnamon Sugar & Then Use it to Make The Best Toast E-V-E-R
Sometimes it's the super easy to put together foods that are so delicious. Sometimes I also figure that everyone knows about these little gems so I don't think to share them. This is another recipe that I have been making and enjoying since childhood. Not the healthiest - but no worse than a donut. And speaking of donuts - click here to find...
Happy Monday! Here are the latest things that have caught my eye. How about that bed! It's a commitment to pattern, but I love it! I spent a few minutes in the Christmas aisles at JoAnn's yesterday - it's my favorite time of the year and it might sound funny, but being surrounded by all the holiday items brought such peace...
I wasn't sure if I'd actually get this published this week at all, but here it is! I'm still not feeling creatively inspired around my house - I'm working on cleaning out a lot of things. I just feel like we are bursting at the seams, and we have lots of updating to do. That will start next year. Hope you enjoy...
Late last week we made a very quick visit to Nashville. Main objective - Vanderbilt University. We stayed at the Omni Hotel, and I enjoyed every design detail of their Kitchen Notes restaurant. All of the wood finishes, the fabric on the banquette, the oversize white spindle windsor chairs, the glassware, flatware, and dishes. I loved it all. The food was delicious...
Target does it again - this Monday Mix is all about the new products in their Smith and Hawken line. This isle of the store is full of one thing after another of useful and beautifully designed items for the home. I couldn't fit all of the goodness on this board, but here are some of my favorite pieces. I have some succulents...
This board is full of pretty and useful home items in soft shades I love. Enjoy! This shelf unit can be used in so many different rooms in the house. It is 76 inches long and 70 inches high. Oh - and it's from McGee & Co. and you can find it here. The stripe potholders are from West Elm. Though I prefer...
