My Favorite Things....

Some of the things I love in this picture...this enormous clock that looks like a very old pocket watch I think it has such character and would be so neat anywhere in your home. Love this big fat square kilim ottoman and the great petite english leather club chair in the background with that chocolate brown throw and pillows that feel like mohair and a great price! Talking about gift ideas I think all three of these would be fabulous gifts for Christmas.

Fall Dining Table

 Happy Birthday Roseanna! Last weeekend we celebrated Roseanna's birthday-I wanted to have the party outside but bc it was chilly and rainy I had to bring it inside...

I set my table with fresh mums and dark orange rudebekia and tucked fresh cottonwood leaves here and there. I set the table with Spode woodland and the Taos Twist stainless silverware we carry both lines at the shop.

Who knew our bright paper napkins could be so cute pulled through these wooden napkin rings. Love this oversized burlap tablecloth and these wonderful twig placemats just made my table! Got them at Bonnes Amies just a few details can make a setting beautiful! I just love these rabbit woodland bowls I had so much fun setting the table for once!
