sweet November on 34th street!

it's time to turn up the heat,

crawl under a cozy blanket,

make the perfect cup of hot chocolate,

put on a favorite sweater,

and, find a mud puddle!

HaPpy WeeKeNd!

~ all images via pinterest...it started with
enter..."turquoise and chocolate" and
ended with a "chocolate settee and boots" surprise!  ~ 

a room for Jay...

my son Jay has recently moved to Boise, Idaho.

he is basically starting from scratch. he decided to leave his

 hodgepodge of college and first job after college furniture behind.

the first thing he bought was a good queen size mattress.

he found this bed at Crate & Barrel, and is most likely going to 

purchase it soon. when we were catching up by phone last night, 

~here~

i asked him about color. he has decided that he would like to go with 

the colors of  black, shades of grey, white and...

as he put it a "yellowish ~ green". 

when we ended our conversation, i told him that i would put

a few images together for him to consider.

i tend to gravitate to subtle ~ neutral...

 ~here~

with option of tossing some too cool 

 ~here~

pillows and

throws onto the canvas!

this works especially well when living on a tight budget.

i couldn't help including this idea for a future dining space!

i am inviting Jay to my blog today for his opinion.

 hey Jay! i love you and miss you!
have fun covering the Broncos in Vegas this weekend...
we'll be watching for you on the sidelines!

additional opinions, links, and ideas are welcome!

ready to talk turkey...

i don't know about you...

but this sleepy little Candy Corn Princess and

her Grandmother are ready to talk turkey!

Holland and her Mom spent the day making
candy corn magic wands ( a la Oreo) for her first  Halloween.
she gave them to her friends in the neighborhood and
her Grandma & Grandpa! YUMMY!

Welcome NOVEMBER! 
i Love Turkey Day!
