Since tomorrow is October 1st I can't stop thinking about how I am going to decorate for Halloween this year. I wish I had the talent to make these lace carved pumpkins from MarthaStewart.com, but I don't nor do I have the patience. Maybe one day if I get really bored I will attempt a small one for the kitchen table.

I went to the spa this weekend with my mom, and they had water with fresh sliced lemons in one of these infusinon jars. It was so pretty, it was just the inspiration I needed to find one. The looks alone are enough to make me want to drink more water. I hoping I get one of these for the holidays!

Right now I would love to visti Block Island or Martha's Vineyard. I love the small town feel in the middle of the fall. Riding a bike along the streets as leaves fall to the ground. It almost feels as if you are all alone. Most of the tourists are gone and all that remain are the locals. Maybe we can go one weekend soon.

Living in a really tiny place requires me to be creative with storage and decoration. Everything needs to work double duty. These boxes from Frippelous shop on Etsy are perfect for storying accessories and filling in space on the ledge that line the middle of my walls. I think they are gorgeous and I love the vintage feel!

This photo from Etsy seller Alicia Bock, brings me back to a time when people actually sent letters in the mail. Not email, but regular old United States Parcel Service. I know that when I open my mailbox to a letter, or present, I become giddy like a little kid. Maybe we all need that in our lives. I think I might try and send one letter out per week, to make someone else's day. Maybe I will even invest in a vintage typewriter so my letters will have a little flair!

Elegant Hallway Spice

We just painted our tiny hallway and laid new flooring, and although it is a bit cramped it needs some personal style. I hate when things are drab. I would love to have a few of these in my hallway with some unique prints or photos. These are over at Etsy by seller Olive Someday! These are fabulous. I will lust after this until next paycheck.

Fun Desert

I know we are approaching the last day of summer, but I can't help to love these sherbet cones for a backyard picnic. They remind me of the dog days of summer when we were all kids, yet they are appropriate for adults. I can't wait to serve these up!
