oh my goodness! "would you love me" ring by blockpartypress...

hello, readers! i guess it's not really a secret now – i've got a super holiday sale going over at my shop...
20% off all items until january 1st! hop on over and do some happy holiday shopping and saving!

hooray! i got my 1000th heart this weekend! it's taken a while to actually get this etsy shop rolling along – nothing like good ol' sticktoitiveness!

spoonful is made - and i'm in it! you can purchase one at the spoonful etsy shop, or at their website!
what is spoonful? in their words, "Spoonful is a short and inspiring little publication which, in light of our insanely busy lives and increasing 'oh no, I must find time to read x' can be finished by the end of a train ride. It's quick to consume, beautifully soft, & after reading will genuinely make you smile."
i'm so happy to be a part of this awesome publication – and what a great little stocking stuffer, too! xoxoxox

what a super bright & cheery treasury by vintagebearlair! (boy do i LOVE that name!)

girl after my own heart! tundradear has created a necklace called kitsune – which is what i named my mini-fox cat-dog! we resecued her last year and after reading about fox spirit folklore we named her accordingly. check out this excerpt: "Kitsune is an animal supposed to be mysterious, fascinating, and mischevious. And he is believed to be very grateful for the kindness done to him, as seen in many tales, and is also affectionate as revealed in some dramas. He is enshrined as a god because of his supernatural power. He is endowed with the subtle art of metamorphosis, and he is able to bewitch men in the guise of a charming girl. An exceedingly interesting and entertaining beast Kitsune is." - Kit LaHaise


here she is today all curled up, keeping warm. i know everyone thinks it of their own - but this little dog may be the best creature i've ever shared space with. (besides my husband who is equally in awe of her grace and affection)

oooooo foodgawker is blowing my mind! so many beautiful photos of the best looking food i've ever seen with links to the chefs and their recipes/blogs... {check out the maple carmel custard with sea salt by the seasonal gourmet and the roasted sweet potato soup with fried sage leaves by locallemons.}

now you can buy home love on made by girl, too! super, super thanks to jen for everything... {notice this print is a little less expensive? i'm keeping my price a little higher at spread the love so that i can donate $10.00 to the MS Foundation.}

mmmmm been looking at green sofas lately... here's a beautiful little set-up as inspiration –

come and check me out with all my z-town friends at from scratch this weekend! sat. nov. 4th we'll be selling our goods and having fun out at the trexlertown grange... so, if you're nearby and need something to do – i love to see you there! xoxoxox

today i've decided to start a fire, bake some cookies, and start my holiday wish/inspiration list...



LOVE this plate found at Branch and Birdie



adore these feather earrings by Ten Things



and totally inspired to create something like this for my window sills by Mary's Workshop
