As promised, here is the final product.  I put in a good movie, spent one night on the couch putting them together, and I was done.  Twenty feather headbands for Thanksgiving dinner.

I LOVED them on everyone.

It's always more fun at the kids table.

I didn't buy flowers until the day of so there wasn't much

to pick from but I found some lovely orange hued flowers,

added a few feathers and I had a centerpiece.

I hope you had a WONDERFUL Thanksgiving! I did.

I'm so excited for THANKSGIVING this year!  It's been 2 years since I've had a traditional THANKSGIVING and I'm ready to sit and eat, and eat...and enjoy the company of the 20+ friends who will be celebrating with me this year. FUN!  Instead of slaving away in the kitchen, I get to spend my time at craft hour, as I'm on decorations. My favorite.  I looked at Martha Stewart for a little inspiration and found these.  I know we're all over 21 but that doesn't mean we can't all sit at the kids table, right?  I love fun and I love classy so I'm doing a little combo deal this year.  Feather and ribbon napkin rings that double as headbands.  genius.  I can't wait for the photo shoots.
Stay tuned for the final product...

I had a little assignment for my photography class and as usual, I decided to wait until the last minute...and there was nothing but RAIN! I made the best of it though...I love the reflection in the puddles...sometimes it pays to look down instead of up.

|| oh how lovely ||

I couldn't get enough of the leaves upstate, NY on Friday...

and wanted to try and capture at least a bit of the fall splendor at the smith family farm.

Oh how lovely was the morning!

|| tennis anyone? ||

I love tennis.  I think it's my sport. I've never really taken lessons but I can swing okay and I used to spend hours hitting tennis balls against our garage when I was little.  So much that our neighbor started calling me Chris Evert. I guess we have the blonde thing in common. 


I'm in L-O-V-E with these vintage Roland Garros tennis posters from the 80's. Now all I need is more wall space.

I'm having Royal Tenenbaums flashbacks right now.

|| greek holiday ||

I've never finished a tube of lipgloss, until now.

GREEK HOLIDAY coupled with BETTINA is the greatest lipgloss combination...ever!

well, at least in my world.

Gisele likes it too...she used this combo on her wedding day.
