Happy Friday

Have a lovely little weekend. I hope you all relax, get some fresh air, sleep in, and just lay back and lazily watch red balloons disappear into the sky... image/ffffound

Fanciful Fence

Loving this fanciful fence! Unfortunately it's not conducive to apartment living, but I like this totally doable, homespun look of a gourd garland. Perfect for a barn party or dance...question, do people really have those kinds of parties? I'm such a city girl, I seem to live vicariously through these types of festivities on TV...

Girly

Welcome to the girly girl's apartment. This space utilizes a variety of texture and color, while maintaining a soft, feminine vibe. I do like purple and pink...I'm thinking the hues might be a little too pink for me, but it definitely adds pizazz to a living space. What do you think?

Party in the Middle Of...

NOWHERE! What a fabulous idea by thought of and executed by Jordan of O Happy Day. This unorthodox but inventive birthday idea is certainly memorable. I can't think of anything more lovely than a warm summer evening on a remote San Francisco beach, overlooking the sea, stars, and sky with good food and good company.

Now I need to find a location to replicate this fabulous idea in my neck of the woods...

Fall Goals

This past week and weekend was a busy one! Let me just say that trying to get adjusted to this getting dark at 7 business is no picnic. The realization that our hours of evening light are slowly dwindling is a depressing thought... Something that always pulls me out of a funk is to make lists...I am such a list maker. I often think I only make lists, just so I can cross items I've accomplished off. And I don't think I'm alone in doing this. Thus, here is my newest list; my goals for fall. 1. Start running again (I broke my pinky-toe of all bones in late August, and am finally approaching the time when I can run without pain - hooray!) 2. After I start my running regiment, participate in a 5 or 8K...or an even bigger goal - a half marathon! 3. Make more of an effort to make dinner instead of eating out or being lazy and just eating Cinnamon Toast Crunch & milk. 4. Try and leave my work at school...a teacher's day is never done. (I always bring my computer home to work on my next day/week's lesson plans, or papers to correct). 5. Take a vacation - which is perfect, as I already have a few weekend jaunts planned! image/flickr
