like most of you, I’m a sucker for pretty packaging. I love the packaging for Belvoir Fruit Farms. that hand lettering is fantastic! not to mention, the flavors sound amazing.

could I possibly love this home any more?
I picked up my neglected October issue of Country Living last night. I was in love when I came across this home tour from Granville, OH. I’m completely smitten with home owner Monique Keegan’s decorating and love for collecting. especially her love for laboratory glassware and science memorabilia.

I saw these amazing log bowls at Life and Limb this weekend, which by the way, if you haven’t been, is a wonderful shop filled with delightful interior plants and housewares. thanks to Joy for the link.
I also had the pleasure of meeting two Chelseas on Saturday. miss Chelsea of the uber cute style blog, frolic, and the equally as lovely Chelsea of Arugula Press. I also met the amazingly kind Denise of d.sharp! so nice to meet you girls!
the rest of the weekend was spent relaxing as much as possible. I ate some amazing food, drank some delicious beer, bought myself some leg warmers and socks, and took time away from my computer which was very nice. but, it’s back to the grind today.
my 2009 calendar is in the works. if you remember my tiny calendar from 2008, you can be assured that this year is just as great, if not better. and quite possibly, a little unruly.

I mentioned that there would be a bonus photographer spotlight this week and today’s photographer is not only a really special one, but she’s such a cutie and truly inspiring. it’s always the tiniest things that inspire me. full of youth and innocence, she has definitely learned a lot from her lovely mother. I love her polaroids of every day things in her life. her name is Adie Faye. she loves her Polaroid named Polly. she is four years old. check out her polaroid blog, Adie love Polly.
