Hanging garden

originally from unruly things, found via cup of jo

I think I've made it pretty clear how much I love nature and Christmas, but these take my love to a whole new level! Aren't these ornaments the coolest? Even if they never made them on a tree, they would be beautiful intermixed with candles on a mantle.

Yay!

Pam over at housemartin just posted that my note cards are a lovely gift idea for the holidays! Thanks so much, Pam! I love her blog (def check it out) so finding myself on it is such a wonderful gift.

I'm just all about the giveaways.

I won a pair of earrings a few months back and it was like a mini Christmas opening up the mailbox to find them! Because of how much I loved that feeling, I thought I'd give everyone who happens to have a blog as well the opportunity to try and experience it too! Head over to ViVi Reborn's site (here) for more information on how to win this necklace (it's originally $75). Good luck!!

Update! There's another awesome contest! And this one you don't have to have a blog! Just head over to Love.Obsess.Inspire and leave a comment for a chance to win these beautiful earrings! Happy winning!

speaking of fall and winter

I think I need to make these pronto- some for hostess gifts, some as "just thinking of you's" and others just for us to open up and eat. Super adorable, right? Not to mention super super easy to do.

Merry Christmas Dad

I saw this over on fred flare and couldn't resist sharing. The men in my family all love hunting (I have mentioned I live in the South, right?) so almost every weekend I get a status update from my dad on whether he saw anything, and if so, whether he "got it." So when I saw this, I couldn't stop laughing. Pretty perfect, right? Think my mom might actually prefer this one over the real thing hanging in my dad's office... if nothing else, it's a great conversation piece!

update *I wrote this over the weekend, but then today I was looking over at the Hip Hostess and apparently we are both on the same page. Check out her take here. She even provides a link to a DIY take on it! Looks like we all know what I'll be working on this week... :)

Fall is in the Air

September 29, 2009 in Attire, Cool Things, Gifts

I took our puppy (and by puppy I mean almost 3 yr old black lab) out this morning and was immediately hit with a rush of crisp cool air. finally.

In just a few short weeks it will be time to pull out the scarves, the riding boots and the cute sweaters/blazers :) I can't wait to go pick out our pumpkin, drive through North Georgia to look at the leaves changing colors, to drink hot chocolate by a bon fire and stuff ourselves full of s'mores... oh I just love fall!

And you know what could make anyone's fall that much better? To walk around carrying this.

Wishpot is holding a contest to win this beautiful kate spade purse! So head over there, leave a comment, post about it, tweet about it (if you do that... I still can't get into it)... become a FB fan and cross your fingers. Good luck everyone!

How about something free?

I hope everyone had an amazing Labor Day weekend! Although very busy, it was the perfect end to summer (complete with sore arms from a long day of paddling!)

I thought this giveaway was already over, but since there are still two more days left to enter , I thought I would share it with you! Head over to Love.Obsess.Inspire and enter to win this beautiful cuff. Seriously, if anyone has a strong impulse to buy me a present, I would love to have this :)

Speaking of presents, I was catching up on the site this weekend and found a little something that absolutely made my day. Check it out here. Such a wonderful gift :)

Have a fantastic day everyone! I'll be back tomorrow with pictures from my most recent invitation suite!

I found these earrings over on concrete + honey and couldn't get enough of them! I've always had a thing for earrings and these look like the perfect future addition to my collection :)

I just love how whimsical and colorful they are- almost like they popped right off of the pages of a Dr. Seuss book!
