I adore this new umbrella from Hayden-Harnet’s new collection for Target… but I wonder if it would survive the wind? Because it is awfully adorable… but I don’t know of a day where the rain comes around here and leaves the wind somewhere else.
Perhaps I should just save twice as [...]
Excuse me while I drool over this alpha-lace scarf ($59 from Veer)… made from lasercut microsuede. Wow…. now this might not keep your neck very warm (let’s call it a SoCal scarf?), but it definitely makes a statement!
I really adore these balloon vases… and I think I’ve finally figured out why I’m so drawn to them. I was flipping through photos from Europe, and ran across a postcard with my favorite painting from the Van Gogh museum, ‘Glass of Absinthe and a Carafe.’
While the carafe doesn’t match [...]
I made this recipe on a whim on Monday, and suddenly it felt like fall. It definitely was a lot more than we’re used to eating on a normal weeknight, but it was so delicious that neither of us quite minded. The only change I made to the recipe was adding some extra [...]
In the pre-holiday spirit, I decided to bust out some more of my Amy Butler scraps and make a couple more mousepads. I really love this pattern, because while it’s cherry/cream colors scream CHRISTMAS, it’s not overtly celebrating the holidays and could easily be pulled out again at other times in the year.

I’m off eating apricots and retreating for the day in the hills. I hope you get to enjoy your Veteran’s Day as well!

We’ve been at this whole “gardening” business for a whole 6 months now, and [...]
This weekend, Mr. M and I booked a silly week-long escape to….
Disney World! They put into play a ridiculously well-priced “Buy 4 days, get 3 free” deal this past weekend for all trips from January-June and when we looked at the prices, we jumped at the chance to go! We’re staying at the [...]
Julie was ever so gracious to share her recipe for husband-taming Mexican Lasagna this weekend, which is quickly being added to this week’s menu at the M household! She has posted the recipe on her blog, along with great photos and tips as well!! Back in [...]
a snow mum pillow: how winterly divine!
a felt stocking: simple and perfectly shaped pattern
conical trees: they’re everywhere, why not make your own?
We went crazy this weekend with some sale pricing, and ended up restyling the house with some colorful pillows. In my grand scheming plan, I’ll be able to sew some seasonal goodies for our house, but right now the store bought options are cheaper and quicker for our needs.
We got these 4 [...]
