A Hint of Things to Come....

the fall season is creeping, sneaking in...

jeweled tone ribbons, rich with color and texture

muted florals infused with summer's fading blooms

sweet vintage prints

vintage store counters to house that all too important flat screen or to display your favorite collections
(sorry, but this awesome guy sold the minute we brought it in)

old workbenches make great islands or console tables

coffee tables

bold prints in vibrant colors for the new season

old-as-dirt treasure boxes

hand painted signs to layer your homes

magnet birds flying in to keep things organized

we even have a little free advice for you

retro red - love it!

console tables - reinvented with old barn wood and horse jumping posts

stacks of vintage suitcases and trunks make cool side tables and night stands

Trick or Treat? (in this heat?)

Don't mean to rush the seasons.  There is nothing worse than Halloween candy in the grocery stores in August or Christmas stuff for that matter!  But having said that, the cottage received a costume catalog today.  I remember my kids many years ago carrying these things around for weeks, going back and forth on that all too important decision what to be for Halloween.  Of course, for anyone who knows my kids, Zach was always Batman, every year, always!  Anyway, as I thumbed through the catalog, I came across this....

How cute are these?!  The catalog is CostumeExpress or you can find them online at http://www.costumeexpress.com/. 

Don't worry, cooler times are almost here and these two little garden knomes could be knocking on your door before you know it!
