It looks fabulous. I really like those newprint wreaths with the glitter - gorgeous. Well, everything is beautiful. This year I'm so darn busy I kind of wish someone would come in and just decorate my house for me, I usually enjoy it but this year, well........swamped.

LOVE the white pinecones... spray painting a few backyard treasures could be so fun! Also- those paper flower wreathes and trees are truly inspiring! Thanks for getting me into the Holiday spirit so soon!!!

You know how I enjoy shopping with you especially your root through "Loot" however I could not go there as it would cost me way too much loot.

Hi "T"
Oh wow!! great inspiration over here with you as the featured site for this great shop!

Rita's comment so so funny! About the loot!!
I have to tell you Hannah loves making those paper flower herself and we are going to use some on our tree. I am really going to do a carfully thought out creative recycled Christmas.

Though nothing new for me for years now! but I am going to tweak it a bit this year with a small hand made recycled Christmas. A small quaint holiday this year, getting to know and love all things that have history and meaning to us.

I am excited to see what creative theme you come up with :)

Keeping you posted on inspiring idea's

* G' morning!!!

* I totally agree with KATHYSUE (above)~~~ This is all just "TOOOOO DIVIIIINE" and YES, INSPIRING to the max!!!

* Annnd, your timing couldn't be better... for ME, at least!!! Am sitting here in a house full of CHRISTMAS n' CHRISTMAS IDEAS... Boxes n' boxes n' just lotsa Christmas "stuff" literallly EVERYWHERE, feeling quite overwhelmed! We have about 80 people coming for an "early Christmas celebration dinner" on 3 December. Hubby's out of town most of the time leading up to it, so it's a little more difficult to do it all myself... (But, always worth it in the end!).

* I got some FAB, NEW and FRESH takes here, and plan to incorporate several, soooo, THANK YOU!!!!!

Warmest blessings,
Linda in AZ *

I found my bicycle! (my new old bicycle) The funny part is where I found it. Yesterday after finishing my post, " I'm longing for a new bicycle ," I was lamenting to my husband about how badly I wanted a bicycle of my own.  He looked at me and said, " but you have a bicycle."  (our vintage Colombia tandem beach cruiser) I said, "I know, I love the tandem but I would like my own bicycle."  He said, "You do have your own bicycle... remember you bought one at a garage sale late last summer?" The light bulb went off and the memories came flooding back!  All of a sudden I remembered the day I scored my awesome vintage bicycle at a garage sale on Briggs Avenue for $20!  I ran to the backyard where it had been covered up with a large brown tarp for the winter.  I squealed with delight at the sight of it!  I remembered when I bought it it had several small American flags attached to the front basket from being ridden in the 4th of July...

There is something about single beds... (Image via domino) I would love to sleep in a bunk bed again... if just for one night. I can just imagine the conversations that would take place in these rooms!   Summer memories are made here and here and here. Rooms with twin beds compel you to have a conversation before nodding off.   (Image via Pottery Barn Kids)   (Image via Elle Decor)   (Image courtesy of the desk of annie)   (Image via Beautiful Things to Share) (Cathy Kincaid)   Some more terrific twins...   (Image courtesy of gracie) (Image via Elle Decor)   (Image via HGTV) (Image via moodboard) (Image via Style Court) (Image via Just Beachy) Don't forget to enter my Giveaway!

Celebrating 28 years

28 years ago today I found my greatest treasure. Legends say that hummingbirds float free of time, carrying our hopes for love,  joy and celebration.  Like a hummingbird, we aspire to hover and savor each moment as it passes, embrace all that life has to offer and to celebrate the joy of everyday.  The hummingbird's delicate grace reminds us that life is rich, beauty is everywhere, every personal connection has meaning and that laughter is life's sweetest creation. Happy Anniversary Chris I love you madly!
