64 painting and fine art October 15, 2012 11:48 PM number 4 is so pretty! Thanks for such a cute and creative
Here's some of what I have in mind......
Cooking and baking are practically synonymous with the word holidays. I fell over seeing these delectable goodies. I am considering a holiday cocktail party, seeing these scrumptous treats has me leaning towards doing it but then again its my stomach talking not my head which knows how much work/stress it can be. Have to think about that one but feast your eyes on these! I mean seriously if these won't put you in the holiday mood, what will?
Opening the door to my heart...so cute!
Whoa! Bring on the milk!
Colin Cowie (husbands and boy would love the mini versions of their favorites)
Too cute
Holy cow! Caramel apple cake...oh yea!
Peter Callahan
Gorgeous beef wellington
Now that I have you hungry......sorry, they were just too special to not share! I am excited, going see this movie tonight, The eye has to travel about Diana Vreeland. As soon as I had read about it, knew I had to see it and its playing in my neck of the woods. Diana Vreeland was a remarkable pioneer and this movie celebrating her life and contributions looks fantastic!
Two books I just ordered and cannot wait to get...do you have them? What do you think? They both look like winners, hope they don't disappoint!
On a fashion front...I looooove boots. Every year add a few to my collection. I have had some for years and years, cannot part with them. These are the ones I an currently coveting. The good news is they are all stunning and available in my size, the bad news is they are all from Gorsuch (favorite company) and now I need to narrow it down..........
No your eyes to do not deceive you, that IS fur and these are the J Mendel version of wellies!
Announced a frequent buyer program for my online store which is effective until Dec. 15th. Click here to visit yesterdays post if you didn't see it. (it has the details)
Last tidbit, hot off the presses, my guest room started to get done. I am overjoyed with how the crown/carona has come out. Granted the bedding, pillows and windows are not done. And the tiebacks I ordered haven't come in but I had to share a sneak peek, taken with my iphone last night. I will have an entire photo session with my camera when done (the colors aren't great here) but I was so happy with it wanted to show you one in progress shot....
That's about it, this is a short post (for me at least) just wanted to say hi and share whats new and exciting over here. What are you up to this weekend? Hope whatever you do is enjoyable and wonderful. Wishing you a wonderful weekend!

One thing to my fellow bloggers...nearly had a heart attack when I signed on this morning to feedburner to change my delivery time to my subscribers and saw my thousands of subscribers GONE! Apparently this is a known problem that they are working on...so don't be alarmed if you sign on and see the same thing.
Batch one of my flowers ready for their makeover.......
Containers galore and here we go!
A big bag of moss to the rescue....
And we are done.....time to bring them inside
Finding their new "homes"
All the silver getting wrapped up in pretty napkins...
Guess whats getting hung!!!! My new chandelier.............
Using the sideboard as a buffet for the dinner plates
And my new sconces got put up in the living room....well two of them, rest this week!
Got a mirror hung behind buffet
Moving to the front of the house........
Of course I decorated the front of the house too....simple but I think very pretty
Loving the new softer colors of pumpkins...white, celadon and a pale melon....such neat colors!
And moving back inside.........
Love "dressing up" a vanity with all kinds of pretties........
Don't you love my new little cherub soap dish! Just added it to my online store.....
Peek into the pantry which was being used as a bar
One of my guests sent me this magnificent floral arrangement, its about 3 feet tall!
Surprise! Got my new chandelier up in the dining room and its perfect!!!!! I really love it.....brought down a pair of lamps from guest room just to use for the night
Another surprise...got my new sconces up in the living room....LOVE them!
Stunning aren't they?
The room is far from done, you have to imagine it with the right chairs, getting a mantle finally and the gorgeous chinoiserie paper that will grace the walls
Used this small English console as a table to hold the appetizer plates
First tray getting put out....sushi always one of the first things to go
I had a small round table for a few stationary appetizers and we had passed hor deuvres too (thankfully some left over for a serious eating session later today)
Icing on the cake...waking up to some goodies waiting to be opened, flowers enough to open up my own little florist and a box of chocolates from one of my favorite shops..........
Look at the mini bananas in this arrangement!
So that's a wrap for how things were on Saturday leading up to my family party. It was a lot of fun, all except for my poor sore feet that are paying the price of standing on them for too many hours so I will prop them up and take it easy today (of course while I am picking at all the leftovers lol). Hope you enjoy your day...gorgeous fall weather over here, loving it! Now excuse me while I go take inventory of the leftovers............(absolute best part of a party)!
