.pretty in pink

Something about pink flowers, no matter the season, that says Shazam! What are your favorites?

.fall colors

I am getting taken in by all of the colors of Fall. Usually your expected rust and brown, this year the fashion world is running over into some other delicious hues as well.

What are your favorite colors to dress up in for Fall? And to dress your house in as well?

.happy weekend...and books

I will be spending the weekend unpacking, possibly the rest of my life, it seems....but there is some pleasure as I get to really organize my zillions of books. We have some wonderful bookcases all over our home and I am in heaven. Thought I would share some other books I have seen elsewhere.

Have a great one!

I love the colors in this collage, which I imagine is why I saved it! I moved recently(big fat EW) and found that my house has all of these colors throughout. Throw in some aubergine and call it a day. Which, according to Vogue, means I am quite fashionable. Did you know?

Do you find that the colors in the fashion forecast make it into your home? Or are you deeply wed to certain hues no matter what? And if so, what are they?

Do tell.

.end of Summer

How about this yummy selection for a fond farewell to Summer. I will miss Summer, too much, but love the crisp Autumn days that many of you speak of. We have about two and a half days of Fall in the South, but I will enjoy those as well!!!

What is your favorite season?

.makes me smile

I love the work of artist Joan Snyder. It is simple, but compelling, and always makes me smile.

I hope you are doing something that makes you smile this weekend. Are you? like what?
