Holidays.

The holidays came and went in a blur. All I really remember is planning for it, saving for it, then it was over. Sadly, I was glad to see the tree come down and all the decor making its way to the attic.  We had a busy holiday season this year. Victor and I went to Denver to visit my Dad for Thanksgiving. That required some planning and a lot of travel. It was totally worth it though. Victor got to hit the slopes and I got to go explore. After Thanksgiving was over, we had a slew of holiday parties to attend and lots of shopping. We searched for the best deals, which actually took some of the fun out of buying (at least it did for me). In the end, everyone was pleased with their Christmas gifts, so the effort was not a waste. Now it is January 3rd and we have just returned from the North Georgia mountains where we ate way too much and acted like a bunch of bums. I think that was the best way to end a crazy holiday season. Happy New Year!

Patsy Cline.

I was cleaning this morning and I opened my wooden chest to store a few things when I ran across my Patsy Cline CD. I have alot of memories connected to her music. Almost every time my Nanny and I would ride in the car, we would blast Patsy Cline and sing loudly like we really had some talent. I popped the CD in the player and sang out loud while I did my house chores. It took me right back to that Lincoln Towncar and I was singing "Walking After Midnight" way off key. It was moment, so I really didn't care. Fortunately for my better half, he was asleep!

Cool finds of the day...

While searching through my favorite sites today (weddinggawker,dwellinggawker), I found some great images and cool items. First is a wire hanger bent into the shape of the brides name. How cool is that? Second, is from a blog that highlighting some of the coolest stairways. I chose this one because of the mirrors on the walls and the classic, but modern stairway. The next image is of an old building converted into a modern home. Wowsa. Next is the coolest bike rack ever. It can also be used as a shelf! Finally... this ring design rocks.

Fall into me.

Fall is my very favorite season and sometimes it feels as like it passes too quickly. I am certain that a lot of people feel the same way about Christmas. I love the colors, pumpkins, pumpkin flavored EVERYTHING, festivals, snuggling, sitting out in the cool breeze, hiking, and apple cider. Fall seems to make everything better. Moving on past those scorching summer days (well not this year,yet) and enjoying going to bed with the windows wide open, curled under some behemoth blanket, with a warm cup of hot coco! This fall I discovered that I love mums. Each year I discover something new that adds to the list of reasons why I think fall is so awesome.
