thanks martha.

martha stewart loves halloween. check out some of these halloween costumes for kids i found on her website (thank you katie for referring me).

this saturday is pumpkinfest in downtown franklin and i COULD NOT be more excited.

i already love little kids that come in the store, but little kids dressed up like little chickens or cowboys is going to be pretty much the best day at work EVER.

thanks martha.

much love,

ruffles.

what can i say, i love ruffles. add a ruffle to ANYTHING, well almost anything, and instantly i fall in love.

we carry a line at the store that is nothing but ruffles.. india rose.

drool with me..

on a daily basis i hear phrases like these,

"do you think this ruffle is too big?"

"i think it needs a little bit more ruffles."

"how cute would this be with ruffles?"

"lets add a ruffle pillow!"

and its phrases and moments like those that i realize how much i love my job.

and a little inspiration from audrey, because im feeling good..

"I believe in pink. I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner. I believe in kissing, kissing a lot. I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day and I believe in miracles."

— Audrey Hepburn

dreamy whites.

the awesome thing about my job is that i get to do a lot of fun research.. like looking at blogs. i am always looking for great inspiration or ideas for different projects and i came across this blog a few weeks ago and i am in love.

love, love, LOVE the tin ceiling, the chandelier, the hydrangeas

and here is her daughters room..

sweet, sweet sugarboo.

there are no words.. for my love of this company.

they are everything that i love about a good company.

run by a husband and wife whose mission is to "make homemade products that add soul to the home," i just cant get enough of their signs and artwork. check out their website here.

and here are some of my personal favorites and commentary,

(awwww.. try not to get all misty eyed on me.)

(so dreamy for a master bedroom.)

(one of my ABSOLUTE favorites, this piece would work ANYWHERE.

i want it above my bed.)

(how sweet is that? again, dont cry. a perfect baby gift. and how cute would it be above a crib?)

(i saved this one for last. its also one of my favorites. and i think it

would just look fantastic on those gray walls i have been talking about that have

been giving me so many problems. so dreamy.)

*on a side note, you may find some artwork that looks very similar to these pieces, but dont buy them. they are not the original. even if they are cheaper, they are not worth it. there are several companies that try to rip off sugarboo's creativity and it just breaks my heart. stay true.

want to buy some sugarboo? guess what, we sell it at lulu, you know the place i work?

what a coincidence? i know. so i guess you are going to have to come see me at work.

and check out our blog here.

see you soon.

much love,

i will take one in every color pah-lease.

happy shopping.

much love,
