Farmers Market Flowers

Got this pretty little arrangement for $2.50 at the Farmers Market. I bought one to take to my friend Andrea's bridal shower that would match her wedding colors, too. They are so cute in their little paper cups and really brighten up any space.

Henry Clarke

I purchased this print from the Musée de la Mode et du Costume de la Ville de Paris when studying abroad. I adore this print. My husband thinks it is a bit girly but lets it hang proudly in our living room. Henry Clarke's work for Vogue and the fashion world can be describe by one word...magic. The way some people can see things seems so out of this world.

Wharton, TX

"Joseph A. Hamilton purchased this home in 1885 from R. E. Vineyard and moved his family into the existing one-story frame house. In 1907 the home was enlarged by raising the original structure and building a new addition underneath. The home has been continuously occupied by five generations of Hamilton descendants.

Some of the exquisite features this home possesses are: arched front entrance with beveled glass detail, grand stairway with Victorian beveled glass windows in lattice style overlooking the second floor, two gas log fireplaces with intricate detail, fourteen foot ceilings, wood trim with unusual beading and forty three feet of glorious porch space both top and bottom. Over 1.6 acres with pecan, oak and fruit trees. Sense the past; see your future!!"

I love old homes, and I love projects. I have dreams of picking everything up one day and moving to a place I have never heard of before just for a beautiful house like the one above. I have no idea where Wharton, Texas is but I just might be willing to go. I could sit on that porch all weekend long watching Lizzie run around the yard... oh, dreams how they can change so quickly. I'll see how I feel about Wharton in the morning.

LeBluet

Check out this Mod child size coat. Lizzie would look tres chic! Not quite winter yet, but just couldn't resist posting it. Check it out here.

Daybed Dreaming

I am a sucker for a daybed... this probably stems from having one my entire adolescence. I have been dreaming up Little Lizzie's youth room for when we move and loved this room on "Before and After" from Design*Sponge. I don't think I could go as rustic as two pallets, but The over all charm is really beautiful. I really love the overhead decor and art grouping.

Blue Ceiling

Love this room. I really wanted a blue ceiling for my kitchen... isn't it beautiful?

Hilton Head

Well, I am way over due for a vaca. Really, really, really way over due. But I will have to settle for a free stay in Hilton Head during early October (and a couple of long weekend trips to the lake before). So to get me through this I will dream of this, the beautiful Hilton Head beach, a house two blocks away, and a bike with a child's seat ready for the daily trip!

Thanks Aaron and Amanda! We can't wait.

Really love this idea. If you know me I love a project, and this one would be a lot of fun. It would be great for a kids room or a small office. I have no need for this anywhere in my house, but I will have to keep it in mind. Click the picture for the original post on apartment therapy.
