october. the tenth month.

The months of August and September seemed to drag on from the days of summer. Here we find ourselves in October. One of my favorite months; the cool air has arrived and fall is settling in. A walk through the backyard now consists of dodging acorns. Football is in full swing. I have stocked up on hot cider and cocoa. And.. Halloween and Thanksgiving are right around the corner!

It is a must to get out and enjoy the fresh fall air. So, this weekend I'll be traveling back to my alumna mater, of Western Carolina, for homecoming. The weekend will be the epitome of fall. In the spirit of the season I have scoured etsy for new fall joys! I hope they make you smile.





pumpkin spice & everything nice,

C is for Crazy Calendar



So, I just searched google images for "full may calendar." I was trying to find something that had
scribbles, notes, doc apointments, birthdays, anniverserys, weekend roadtrips :), etc. written all over it. I was just going to put a quick post up about the busy bee I've been theze da
yz and basically let my 8 followers know that I can't
wait until life slows down a bit so I can get back into the
blogging swing of things. The way things are looking I still have one more busy month ahead leading
up to Megan's wedding on 06/25! One thing is for sure, when I get back to my blogging business, I'll have plenty to share. But guess what happened!?!!

So, I was searching google images.... browsing over multiple calendars and the first cute one I click on is an etsy seller! It was meant to be. So instead of posting something really lame like hey look at this busy calendar and I'll be back.... I get to share Stephanie Fitz etsy world with you! She is a cute little illustrator. Here is what I've found:

{ May and June busy busy }



{ forest friends + teacups! i like it. }



{ sleepy bunnies - made me think of one of my good friends Christy who is putting her first nursery together! }

{ just a cute doo dad }
{ animal alphabet ~ need this for my future classroom }


{ out of season a tad, but one of my faves }


{ i love a cute note card ~ makes you want to send them more often :) }


Anywho ~ I'm wishin' I had more time to do this fun stuff all day, but I am up to my eyeballs in happenings these days. I hope your day is full of sunshine. I will return.

Happy Birthday, Bro!

To my most wonderful brother, Nicholas Lee. You are another year older, another year wiser. I can't believe the baby in the bunch is now 19!! Weird. Your future is lookin' bright kiddo. Today I want you to know, that you are magnificent just the way you are. You are special. You are cool. Happy birthday to the baddest brother on the block! You rock!

Sunday blog stroll

Yes, it is Sunday morning... Waking Michael up from slumbering is a difficult feat. So, instead of having that struggle this morning, I just decided to take a Sunday blog stroll, while he slept in a little longer. I found myself at one of my favorite blogs: Geninne's Art Blog. She does mostly birds, but I've tried to include a variety of her subjects. See why I love...


{ stacked fish }


{ collage bird }



{ peacock tree }



{ magnolias: digital art }



{ elephant }



{ bird tree love }


Just a quick sampling of all my favorite lovelies from Geninne's Art Blog.
She is my woodland art heroine. Now for some Sunday morning coffee :)

Foothills bound.

Happy weekend to you, my friends!

It's Friday once more! This weekend I'm headed to the foothills of those grand appalachain mountains. {Rutherfordton to be more exact} Michael says he has some activities in store, so I am anxious to see what he's planned! One thing's for sure: I love those mountains. Here I've found some mountain inspiration from Rachel Ann Austin. She's awesome. I'll see you Monday, but until then have a happy weekend!







Rachel Ann Austin's website is full of "paintings and other lovelies." I think that's a pretty accurate description. Her "map paintings" are so unique. I love their simplicity and charm. On May 1st and 2nd {which i just realized starts tomorrow!} her website will turn into a "Crafty Wonderland" with over 200 vendors! I'm looking forward to stealing some time away from Michael to check it out!


{ also check out this etsy seller: aruppel ~ i love trees. }

I hope you have a merry weekend!

Watercolor Weekend.

Ahhh it's Friday! I've worked 9:00 - 5:00 all week. I'm very thankful for my new job, but I am exhausted. Michael and I will be spending the weekend at relaxation station. The boat is gased and ready to go. Lake Murray here we come! I hope you, too, find some time to kick back and prepare for... Monday. I'll see you then! But, before I go.. I wanted to leave you with some paintings from a self-taught artist, who lives here on Lake Murray. Her name is Lauren Maurer and I really love her watercolors. She makes me want to whip out the paper and paints... maybe I will. Either way, check out Lauren Maurer's blog or find your favorite and make a purchase on etsy!
