I was so happy to come across this little purse shop on Etsy yesterday. I love her bags' unique shapes, fabrics and appliques. Each is lined with a pretty, coordinating fabric for extra loveliness. The corduroy fabrics and earth tones will also be perfect for fall (which I can't believe is right around the corner!). I love the shop name too - Pesky Cat Designs.

The Wayfarer Purse

Black Licorice and Golden Caramel

My Midnight Flight earrings were featured in this beautiful treasury!!
Doesn't it make you feel warm and fuzzy?
Items were picked by Vintage Embellishment over on Etsy.

Cats, Cake, and Cooking ... Oh My!

First of all, DH's (that's "dear husband", for those of you who don't know) birthday was Monday. For the first time ever, I went out and bought an ice cream cake!! From where else, but Cold Stone Creamery. Yellow cake, sweet cream ice cream, chocolate shavings, fluffy frosting, and cookie dough goodness...Y.U.M!

Then, yesterday, we found two ADORABLE, abandoned kittens.
We all want to keep them, but it's just impossible with (**whispers very quietly** six) indoor cats already! They are just the cutest things! And so lovable. I hope I can find them good homes, and fast! If you're in the area, and you're interested in one of these little babies, please get in touch. (I'm adding a link to an online ad for them.) Like I said, they're adorable; one short-hair, solid black with green eyes; one long-hair white and gray with blue eyes. Both of them are girls and need lots of love. ♥

Well, today will be spent taking care of these little guys, digging the Christmas tree/decorations out of storage, and cooking, cooking, and more cooking.
I hope everybody has a wonderful Thanksgiving!!!

The First Day of Fall

My absolute favorite time of year. The weather is perfect. Everything is beautiful. I can't wait to drive up into the mountains when the leaves start to turn, so I can take lots of pictures. =)

Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower.
