~at night~

Call me crazy

{on second though, maybe don't!}

but

I love the look of illuminated windows in homes at night time.

there is something so cozy about it, don't ya think?
Don't you wonder what is going on in there?

Am I the only one who thinks this?

Look at that fire pit!

I think they are probably up getting the smores and hot cocoa ready!

Simply gorgeous!

Wouldn't you agree?

Well friends, we are off tomorrow to California!

I am ready for a little r&r.....

I will be back on Thursday,

don't miss me too much!

~I couldn't resist~

Do you think they know how this looks?

They look oblivious!

I'm off to "work" my shift at the holiday show

{Hollywood Hill Schoolhouse, Woodinville Washington}

~Pinkalicious~

My friend Margo just opened up her new cupcake shop, Pinkalicious!

It is too cute!

I visited her yesterday on her 3rd day in business. I worked hard making menu boards, painting on the walls,

flavor boards, signs, towels, etc. etc.

I primed these mirrors she had and painted them
chocolate brown with pink and white accents!

Amada from Over The Top Studios makes these
incredible party hats, cake toppers, and trinket boxes, as well as magic wands!
This lady oozes with talent, I can't wait to meet her someday!

Margo doesn't miss a detail!

I will take one of each please...

Yummy!

If you are ever in the Redmond area, pls. stop in and try one!!!
You can also read more about Margo's company here,

but here is something that I think is extra special,

from Margo herself...

"I live in Kirkland, Washington with my husband Doug and four adopted children, Gabe, Tycie, Jazzmyn and Mia. My husband works for an organization called Children of the Nations, that is where I met co-founder Debbie Clark. I found out that she throws birthday parties for kids in Africa once a year, I got excited and thought if I started selling my cupcakes I could start a fund from some of my proceeds to help fund those birthday parties in Africa. With a strong passion for baking, birthday parties and kids it seemed a natural fit for me to start a cupcake business." Margo E.

Have a sweet day!

~in another life~

I think I would like a fireplace in my bathroom.

ahhhhhh.............

my favorite photo by far.....
{Calgon, take me away}

country living always has the best photos

and here's a little hope

if you don't have a fireplace......

have a faux one!

Voila!

I don't think I would ever leave the loo!

~is it too soon?~

I know, I know.

Halloween JUST ended.

But I really wanna put my tree up!

With Thanksgiving so late this year,

I think it will definitely be up before turkey day.
