It seems like right after the last candy corn disappears – we are full speed ahead into the Christmas. Around here, I really try to slow things down and make sure we enjoy all November has to offer. I put out a few gourds and branches of colorful leaves in the front hallway, fill a […]
Gather Together
Hello November! I am trying with all my might to enjoy you for the awesome month you are, as opposed to a merely prequel to Christmas! At the very least, before we begin the winter holiday celebrations, we should embrace all that Autumn joy November has to offer: Chilly grey days, bright crisp leaves, late nights round the […]
Halloween Bash!
Fall has kicked into full gear- and if you’re like me- you are soaking it all up with a Caramel Salted Latte in one hand and your camera in the other. Good stuff. This week you’ll find the FALL LOVE PENNANTS in the Shoppe. I wanted to make a fun fall accessory for your scrap stash this week- they are terrific […]
Now in the Shoppe | Halloween Treats!
October is only a few days away- but Halloween has been on my mind for weeks! I adore this time of year- and its pure fun and playfulness has made it one of my most favorite holidays! (Christmas- Mama will always love you best!) Halloween is just so easy! There are no gift lists (other […]
Around Here | Rooftop Views
I just uploaded and ordered my photos from the holiday weekend and I always love reliving the happy moments-but I have to say, going through the photos made me a little home sick. Right now, I live in a sweet New York suburb that is a just 23 minute train ride from the city- but […]
Bunny Trail
Yep! It’s that time of the year the lovable Peter Cottontail comes hopping down the bunny trail with trinkets, chocolates, sweet marshmallow Peeps and the promise of warm sunshine and renewed spirit! I wanted to design a kit that would compliment the Beautiful colors and heritage spirit of the Easter season- something timeless and fun at the same time… and when I sat at […]
Rocket Fuel
As I write this, it is a cold Sunday in NYC. The snow is piled up high outside my window- and its not the fun kind that you can play in. It’s the cold, icy kind that has begun to turn a depressing grey thanks to passing cars and plow trucks. And I am just […]
Notes From the Drawing Board | Classic Boo
I admit it- I am a shameless, hopeless Halloween geek- I just love the simple fun of it all! I always have. It’s the one night a year it is not a misdemeanor to walk the streets in outlandish garb and scare complete strangers. My guys loves to lay in wait among the decorations outside and […]
Trust me, it’s cake!
By now you should know I love a Holiday- any holiday! Any excuse to be a little silly- to share a few smiles- well, count me in! In fact, we even celebrate “tax Day” here! April 15th, I use 1040 forms as place mats and we have franks and beans… a few apples and tin cans with pencils decorate […]
Twilight Zone, Cobwebs and Warm Wishes!
It’s no secret that I’m not a huge fan of big New Years Eve celebrations. I’m a bit of a homebody for that. Maybe its because my hubby usually works on New Years- and its just me and the boys. I get a little melancholy for that midnight smooch from him. So, we have settled into a nice little routine of […]
