Anyone who knows me well knows that-

1- I LOVE to get the mail each day!

&

2- appreciates a hand written thank you note

{which are usually displayed for a week on my window sill}

Well look what I received in the mail today

{along with a few Christmas cards. Isn't getting the mail this time of year so fun??}

It was a SWeeTest little thank you note{loved the darling art on the front to}from a new friend, Heather, of Happy Chippy Junk

{a.k.a- the "BuZZ" about The Hive $25 winner}

Thanking me for the cute necklace & hair clip she got to pick out as the winner. 

Oh, Heather you made my day!  Thanks for the thanks :) 

I also loved that she addressed me as Mrs. Hive in the note- cute!

Oh, the little things that make me happy  :) 

-Hope you have had a good day too-

My little wintery version

12.13.10-

3 bags of flour + 2 bottle brush trees + an old scale = a little Anthropologie in my own kitchen.

-Dreaming of a white Christmas, where has all the SNoW gone??-

{M}

*p.s. I {heart} comments too as much as I {heart} Anthropologie ;)

I {heart} Antropologie!

Ooh, how I love this store!  I get so excited when I turn the corner in a shopping area, in my recent case Ceaser's in Vegas, & see the Anthro windows.  Talk about a creative energy charge!! 

It gets my creative juices flowing for sure. 

So this past weekend I got to go on a quick little overnight trip with my hubby to Vegas {thanks Ty!}  It was a great weekend, great company, good food & Christmas shopping done- CHECK!

& this is what I feel in love with at Anthropologie this time around.

-FLOUR-  can you believe how charming this is?!? 

{snowy, fluffy white snow ;) }

I am off to the store right after I post this to make my own tiny winter scene on my kitchen island TODAY! 

{not to mention all the cute bottle brush trees that I love & collect}

-I like how sweet & simple it is but makes a statement-

 Does anyone else love to look at the Anthropologie windows?  I have to get down to SLC to see their windows, I haven't been yet this season. 

**Also if anyone knows of a blog/website that showcases all the Anthro windows I would love to learn about it.  I think it is amazing that each store if different & unique from the others- how I wish I could travel to them all!!

In 2006 Ty & I traveled down to Phoenix for the day & I discovered sugar cubes in the Anthropologie windows. They wrapped embrodery floss around them like little

 packages- DARLING but very time consuming. 

I started to assemble my own & only got 4 done 

 {I still have them on display on my counter- maybe I need to package up some more} 

LOVE to be inspired!!

{I could spend hours walking around in their stores & just taking it all in!}

** Don't forget about the after The {Holiday} Hive sale tomorrow from 9:00-11:00 a.m. at 4011 Lilac Lane**

Lookie!

12.8.10-

Wa-hoo- look what I found today!

{and only $12 even better} 

I love it! I dropped off Em at tumbling & went to my favorite little shop- The General Store in Layton. 

{I always find something fabulous there}

I am a sucker for anything metal & industrial looking to add to my home so when I saw this

I just HAD to have it.

Checking out The General Store has turned into my Thursday ritual during tumbling class, last week I found the most charming antique Christmas ornaments-  a real treasure to find!

Now I can display all the ornaments I like to collect in such a neat way.

Well just wanted to share something that made me happy today

{it was not the best day {blah} but ended up great!}

I'll post some more pics of what is for sale down in my shop soon.

{be sure to comment or email me if you see something you like}

Happy weekend everyone

For SaLE!

12.8.10-

Okay, so I know what you are all thinking- I WISH I could see what is for sale!

{Yes, I don't have an etsy shop or a website- maybe someday}

Sorry, I didn't post pictures last night but I was busy being a Mom- making dinner, helping kids with homework & other fun things. Honestly, I wish I had some more professional looking pictures to show you.  Maybe once I unwrap a present on Christmas morning & take some lessons they will be ;) 

But for now- Here you go!

{thanks to everyone that has emailed me so far, I have set a few things aside already!}

-P.S.- all the prices on the pictures reflect the SALE price-

-Just a sampling- more to come-
