Friday Favorites

Right now I am incredibly envious of the other bloggers whose blogs I read religiously.  They get to live in parts of the country where the first day of Fall actually looks and feels like Fall.  Instead, I choose to put up with this nonsense:


Not fair.  Not fair at all.

A couple orders of business before I give you links to all kinds of goodies (recipes, cute outfits and such) I've run into this week.

Cocktail Table Update - She's coming along quite nicely!  I'm in love with the color but not with the process of hand painting the ins and outs of all that fret work.  It should be finished (or close to it anyway) on Monday.  I promise to update early next week.  I can't wait to share it with you!  It's looking more and more like I want to keep it all for myself instead of selling it.

Giveaway Next Week - Be sure to check in on Wednesday and enter my FIRST EVER GIVEAWAY!  So fun!

This week I came across some outrageously good photography that was just too gorgeous not share with you.  It's by Irene Suchocki and I'm obsessed with these particular photos:








What did I tell you?  Stunning!

A few other things I wanted to share:

Even though it's not really Fall here yet, I'm itching to make this recipe, and this one, and this one.
I'm dying for this outfit.  Love that vintage skirt!
This jacket is so feminine and pretty.  I could see myself wearing it with just about everything.
Get some great tips on how to decorate your home for Fall - without it looking contrived.
Did you see that awesome pendant Orlando made on SFAS last week?  Here's his tutorial!  And here's a link to Emily's blog - you should definitely check it out.  It's a really fun read.
 
I hope you all have a wonderful weekend and, if you're lucky enough to be living where there is actual Fall-like weather right now, drink some warm cider and crunch some leaves beneath your feet for me.

Etsy Art

Happy Holiday everyone!  Are you one of the lucky who actually gets today off or are you slaving away like today is just another Monday?  Since I'm self-employed I suppose this could be a holiday for me if I really want it to be (LOVE that part of this whole gig!) but when you're self-employed there really isn't such a thing as paid holiday.  No worky = no earny!
 
Lately I've been noticing how I have a lot of empty wall space around the house and most of the art I do have consists of mirrors and photos of family & friends.  Hardly exciting or inspiring stuff, design-wise.  So I started trolling one of my favorite places to source inexpensive and one of a kind art - good ole Etsy folks!

Affordable and even downright cheap prices on beautiful paintings, illustrations and photography that proves great art can be budget friendly without being mass produced.  There's something for nearly everyone to love.  

I think these would be great in a nursery:

Or an older child's room:

Really pretty figurative art:

If photography is your thing, there's plenty of that too:

The vintage, beach photography from this shop is killing me!  I'd love to see the three below in a really large format, maybe even as wall murals.  Such a cool vibe!




All of the examples I've shown you today are under $40.00 each and most are under $30.00.  Of course that's only for the actual print so figure the cost of framing into the final price.  Still, when all is said and done, shopping Etsy for art is a great alternative for inexpensive art that isn't likely to end up in all of your friend's homes too!
