A couple months ago my mom and dear friend (one in the same) went shopping in beautiful downtown Claremont and discovered a new, to us anyways, shop called Barbara Cheatley Antiques (not a antique shop though!). We were entranced by the beautiful window display and decided we must go in. I was floored! There were little treasures everywhere. Things you could decorate your home with, gifts, cards, etc.! I came across this beautiful little sky blue glass jar and decided I must have it immediately and followed it up with a pretty petite pink and white striped bowl that you could use for seasoning, earrings or little things to be kept safe. Mom bought a yellow and white one and a polka dot plate to go along with it. Who says stripes and polka dots don't go together?? I told her that I had recently read that one should surround themselves with things that make you happy. This applies to objects in this instance and I was instantly sold on these two little finds that made me happy.
Since our discovery of Barbara Cheatley I have been on a quest to capture this look. Not only for my self but for our home also. I have come across a mirror that was to die for (bought of course) and these amazing velvet pumpkins (bought 2 of them and going back for more this weekend) and a scarf that really isn't typical me but just loved.

I took this idea into mind when I decorated for fall and Halloween too. I'm just waiting for my husband and dog to turn into pumpkins at this point with all the orange I've brought into the house! Hopefully Christmas will bring the same feel I am getting now. I think a change like this is good. It feels like the excitement when you get to wear a new outfit for the first time or get a great new haircut. Refreshing and fun!
Lastly, here is a blog that I have fallen in love with! http://curlygirldesign.com/blog/ I think I want to be like her when I "grow up". Enjoy!
