Holidays are coming - Pink Christmas Trees

Another non-traditional tree, but probably one of the most fun options in my opinion. I love the color that these trees bring into the rooms.

Holidays are coming - White Christmas Trees

A white Christmas tree is not the traditional choice for most families but these pictures show that they can be just as beautiful as the green trees that are more common. I especially love the 2nd one in this group, the color story is wonderful.

Bazaar Bizarre Winter 2010


I'm back from Bazaar Bizarre and it was wonderful. Thank you to everyone who stopped by and welcome if you are visiting for the first time. Unfortunately I left my camera in Cleveland so I don't have photos of my booth for you. I hope everyone who shopped had a great time and I hope the rest of the vendors had fun too. If you are in the Cleveland area you should check out Last Minute Market next weekend, many of the vendors will be showing there.


I was supposed to have another show next weekend but unfortunately it didn't come together so I am officially done with shows for 2010. It's pretty exciting and now I get to look forward to 2011 and put together a new list of shows. If you have any favorite Midwest shows that you like to visit let me know and I will do my best to check them out.

Don't forget to stop by throughout the rest of the week for some more holiday inspirations!

New Blog Discovery - My Owl Barn

Another new blog discovery!
Lately I have become slightly obsessed with owls. It started a few years back when I saw a vintage ceramic owl in a photo shoot and I wanted one. I was on a search until I found "the right" owl. I have since found my owl and many more. Then I discovered My Owl Barn and I have a whole new list of owl related items on my wish list. Take a look, but beware you may become obsessed!

And right now they are offering a free downloadable calendar so stop by and pick your images now!
