Yesterday was such a beautiful day here in Illinois.  The sky was clear, the sun was shining, and the colors of the leaves were amazing!  Today is shaping up to be a picture-perfect copy. 

I thought this picture reflected exactly the feeling.  Aside from the fact that I need to have those boots, coat, and hat~I am mesmerized by the colors.  I never would have thought to find a pretty, soft color palette in a fall day.

Handmade Holidays

Browsing Etsy, one of my favorite sites on the planet, I came across some fabulous decor ideas for the fall/winter holidays.

A woodland themed holiday would be a perfect reason to hang this chandelier. 
I sooo love this!

Diggin' this Santa inspired throw pillow too.

The holidays are about spending time with those you love.
What a great way to show them!

I love little details.  Something as simple as hanging an ornament on a door knob says you've taken the time to make opening a door a special experience

Of course, I couldn't forget to decorate myself for the holidays too! 
These earrings from Poppy Layne are positively drool-worthy!
