Calligraphy Gift Idea


For anyone who loves the written word, or traveling, Lindsey Bee offers adorable 
custom pieces that would make great gifts for this Holiday Season...

Look at her Calligraphy... Love it!



Deck the Halls

Our Halls are decked here! How do you deck your halls? We use old vintage Christmas
 decor from my grandparents house and it makes everything feel very warm and cozy. 

While I finished the Christmas extravaganza here, Cricket spent the afternoon 
cuddled in a blanket presiding over the final touches... occasionally sending an 
exhausted disapproving glance my way...

{I am not sure she 'gets' Christmas yet... I'll break her down eventually}

P.S: Our tree is only about 4 ft tall. Makes me feel like a GIANT
And the bittersweet from the wreath came from our back yard {xox}

Wednesday

A Pallet Cleanser

Look at all of the creative things you can do with Pallets! I really like that Day Bed because 
there is even extra space in there for cool books and special things. And isn't that shelf cool?

I found these ideas at looplane but they are all over, if you have pallets and feel like getting 
creative just hit the web!

Tuesday

I heart this sweater

Currently Loving this Sweater. 
Whats not to love? Its a heart for goodness sake. 
Find it at J Crew.

Monday

Crochet anyone?

Do you crochet? I was trying to watch a youtube video to teach me how to crochet 
a snowflake and it was actually really intense. I LOVE this beautiful coverlet and I 
think it would be a great challenge to create it. You can purchase the pattern at 
Ravelry and try it yourself, let me know how it goes. 

Wednesday

A Thankful Thanksgiving

Tis the Season to be Thankful. 
To my friends and Family. I am so grateful for you.

Tuesday

Frozen Bubbles

Did you know you could freeze bubble into little shattered ice balls?
According to Science Made Fun just wait for a day under 32 degrees 
and blow away. Catch your bubbles on your wand and watch your
crystals form! I think they look like little eggs.

Gold Stars xox

These DIY Gold stars would be an adorable addition to a wedding...
(maybe mine!) or even Christmas time. Wouldn't it be cute to string
a bunch of them on a garland and wrap your tree in them? 

Find out how to make them here.

Wednesday

Hey, Honey.

Isn't this Honey Comb Honey Jar cute?
I love the color of honey so that alone sells me, but when you put it in this crazy cool jar. 
Bam, even cooler. Find them at: Biodidactic Designs

Clive Tyler, Pastels... who knew

This weekend Dave and I went with my Parents to the Waterfowl Festival in 
Easton, MD. We saw so many talented artist. So many. My eyes were like greedy 
little children sucking in all the beautiful art. 

My dad and I both shared the same favorite in the show. He was a Cowboy from 
Taos New Mexico who blew our minds with his pastel work. Its kind of amazing 
to look at these paintings and learn that they are not paint isn't it. His name was Clive 
Tyler and he had a large sampling of outstanding artwork as well as a pleasant attitude 
and spoke with us in depth about his medium and journey. 

Check out more of his work here: Clive Tyler

Friday

My First .gif File.

I have always wondered how these worked... I finally figured it 
out!
{A successful day!}

Its Friday!

{Hey} 
Its Friday! What are you up to this weekend? Dave and I will be Eastern Shore bound to 
wrap some wedding venue scouting into my favorite fall weekend...The Waterfowl Festival. 
Historic Easton will be shut down and dedicated to art all weekend! This weekend, all of the 
most talented wildlife artists from around North America will travel to the tiny town of Easton 
to present their amazing works of art. Every year I look forward to bundling up to admire 
the talent with my parents and Dave. 

Hope you have a really sweatery weekend.  The leaves are changing!

Christmas Ball Garland...

I don't really need to say too much about how awesome these are... Do I?
Find out how here.


Holiday Crafts and Giving

Last night I had the privilege to par-take in a unique holiday experience in Alexandria 
that focused on giving back to the community as well as stocking up for Christmas. Guests 
were encouraged to bring donations, to benefit Lutheran Social Services, The Fisher House 
and United Community Ministries. After dropping their goodies at the door they spent the 
rest of the night dining and shopping amongst the many vendors set up with their wares 
(myself included). What a great way to do Christmas!

Dave attended with me to help with the event and we had a great time milling with 
the many people who showed up! Thanks Mary Ann for a great event!

Thursday
