Rainy Days

I know we all have to deal with rain, but here in Nashville we're on day two of nasty weather. More expected tomorrow. Hurray. And my children are already out of school for Thanksgiving. So, we're doing a lot of this . . .

And, we'll be leaving soon to go see this . . . 
I know you're jealous. But, I've actually heard it's good. I'm sure I'll be seeing the Muppets soon too.

So, I'll just leave you with some things that have inspired me lately. These color combinations by J. Crew are insane (in a good way) . . .

A very talented person is working on something for me, and I gave her these two pics (among other things) for inspiration. Can't wait to see what she comes up with!

And this little malachite box on eBay has my wheels turning. 
Isn't it pretty? Don't let the photo fool you. This is a trinket box - tiny. Like two and half inches long tiny. Fits in the palm of your hand tiny. And it's about $50. Yeah, I'm wanting something to hold my remote control. Real malachite in that size would cost hundreds. Necessity is the mother of invention, so I'm working on something right now. I was inspired by Danika of Gorgeous Shiny Things and her faux malachite lamp:
Hopefully, I'll come up with something that slightly resembles malachite anyway. We shall see. If it turns out the least bit decently, I promise to share photos. Wish me luck. Have a great week!

I enjoyed Puss in Boots..he was always my fave Shrek character. This rain makes potty breaks a drag, no? Have a great holiday!

I am sick of this weather and I want to steal your dogs. Have a great Thanksgiving and can't wait to see this mystery project.

those J Crew ads are making me feel good about losing my tan. Happy Thanksgiving, Kathy! Eating out sounds relaxing :)

It has been the nastiest week here in Nashville! I haven't been able to go anywhere without an umbrella. :) Hope you and your family have a fantastic Thanksgiving.
