election day color love

Happy voting & happy election day! Ya gotta love the good ol' red, white & blue. I have an fondness for baker's twine and these images are beautiful, filled with vintage touches and a patriotic theme. I couldn't resist showing you these photos from Becky & Kurt's- Piggy & Dirt Shop. You can find baker's twine in every color and much, much more...plus Becky & Kurt would love to give you 10% off! Here's the coupon code from them just for you: MEMORYSTAR.

color your mood

I think the color your drawn to can tell a lot about your mood but color can affect your mood in so many ways which is just another reason to love these these pencils! I saw these featured in the New York Times Magazine, you can get your own set at Annie's Blue Ribbon General Store.

I think it's probably a good move to let mom know you're her biggest fan once in awhile. I love this card from Gilah Press, found at my favorite one of my favorite shops, Foursided.

are you ready for this election?

I couldn't help it. It's November first and even though we've been inundated with election hoopla constantly, I now feel like election time is here. I'm loving some of this fun & funny election paraphernalia, I can't think of a better occasion to get custom photographed marshmallows?!

 Yes, I am on a fall focused kick. I am lovin' the changing colors of my neighbor's tree. 

Each week this Japanese maple is a new beautiful shade.
