Brrrr!!!!

It is snow -snow - snowing here and all I want to do is have a hot cup of tea. I LOVE tea. This cute little cup found on designcrush would be perfect for keeping that pesky little paper tab out of the water!

So I did end up going to the Stella + Dot trunk show, it was fun and beautiful! I had seen stella + Dot stuff all over the southern girls' blogs, and always thought it would be too delicate a look for a western girl like me. HA! Look how beautiful some of these statement pieces are!

My fabulous sister gave me a gift card for a pair of TOMS for my birthday. Should I go slightly glitterfied or stick with a wear-with-anything neutral? Hmm. The herringbone is calling my name but there is something to be said for classic styles.

I am supposed to go to a stella + dot trunk show tonight, but this kid and I are battling yucky colds. Welcome winter!

Who says?

Who says antler chandeliers are only for rustic ski lodge mansions and cabins? This is so fresh! Love it!

This bear hunter down in Fairfield gave us 3 great antlers, if only I could figure out a way to make them into this....

SHARK!

We took Peanut down to the Halloween Hoopla on Friday. He dressed up as the cutest shark I have ever seen! He didn't mind wearing his costume, but he hasn't quite caught on to the whole Halloween thing yet. I felt guilty getting candy because it was obviously for us! Wyatt hasn't really had sugar yet, and I'm in no hurry to give it to him. We ended up stopping to have a drink after a little while - hey, a 16 month old can only take so much!

That was all of our loot. 6 pieces of candy.

Before the weather turned ugly, Wyatt and I went and visited an installation by artist Patrick Dougherty. He does structure-like work using willow branches and local volunteers. He has done amazing work all over the world, and unfortunately I don't think his Sun Valley piece is as stunning as the others. Part of the problem is that it sits on a dusty, vacant lot with a lot of construction equipment. His best work is interwoven among the natural landscape. Anyway, it is neat to have here in town and I get to see it every time I go to the Post Office to get my mail!

Seriously? Who thought of this?Genius! Beautiful!
