Etsy love

Instead of ironing, like I should be doing, I'm hanging around Esty. Here are some of my favorite finds today:
Ok, how adorable and amazing is this? Look at the detail!

I really love hanging around Esty. I just wish I had more time to do it!

Pumpkin Cake & Halloween

October is such a busy month for us. I don't think I've had a moment to sit & think since the 1st.
With so many birthdays (my husband, my son & I in the past week alone) I decided to make one of my husband's favorites, Pumpkin Chocolate Chip cake.


Can you say "yum"? I really only make this cake in the fall and truthfully, it's a shame. Why wait until fall to eat something so delicious?
I started adding Halloween decor to my fall decor. I just received this guy from ebay the other day. He's from artist Dee Foust for Bethany Lowe. Isn't he adorable? I love him!

I guess that's all for now folks. Stay warm! We're on a winter storm watch this weekend. Should be interesting to see if anything actually develops!

17 years ago today

Can this really have happened 17 years ago today?
My first thought: oh my, how fast time goes by! Can it really be that long ago? My second thought: Am I really that old to have been married for 17 years?
The honest truth: I'd do it all over again. (maybe not quite so "grand" this time though. lol)

Beautiful bedrooms **sigh**

Why all the sighing you ask? My bedroom furniture is mahogany and kind of victorian looking. It couldn't be any further from the above looks. **sigh**
