So I didn't have a picture for today and we had to go to the store so I gave myself the assignment to take a picture of something pretty or interesting. Then I got wrapped up in shopping and I forgot all about it- so I got to produce and the prettiest thing was a bin of Colorado peaches.

The plaque I made for Diane and Jeremy as a wedding present. I actually had to paint this two more times after this picture was taken because I had Carl spray it with a protective finish and it darkened the wood so much that I had to repaint everything. It turned out super cool looking- wish I would have remembered to take a final picture. It looks pretty much the same as this - just darker!

Well I really liked these lamps but they were way too big and way too expensive.


This painting I loved but I have no where to hang it!


I wish I could have a whole cabinet of this colorful glass all lit up!


 So this is what I bought! My first purchase ever at the Modernism Show- a safety pin, beaded Christmas tree. I love!

Sad, not so sad.
At work we have been buying things that were melted in the Waldo Canyon Fire. Sad because of the fire, but it was a Pandora Bracelet so eh, not so sad.

I've been being a little crafty. I made a new wreath for the front porch. I had made a cute cocktail umbrella wreath but the pastel colors clashed with the earth toned walls so I made this one. I think it turned out pretty nice using my dollar store flowers!

When Maxx starts his walk he grabs the leash with his mouth and then holds it up for us to take. Super cute.

Found at the Arc today! I'm thinking 1980 based on how brown and Seventies everything looks but she looks a little more modern.

The pine trees are dying in our neighborhood- 5 across the street, 2 next door and 3 on the corner. They die fast after they get infested with the beatles. It's sad because these are all huge trees. We have been spraying our tree and it is a spruce tree not a pine, so hopefully it will survive. Look how dry this tree is - I'm afraid it will fall on our house. The birds seem to like them.

I love these weird fish earrings that we got in at work. They are screwback earrings but I want to buy them and make them into something else.

My new window shades that I made for the guest room windows. They have a tension rod at the top an bottom and when you want to open you just move the bottom rod up to the top underneath. I love them!

Sometimes my pup doesn't get that if he brings the ball to me he would get to play more. I guess he would rather cuddle with it on the couch!

I made some new pillows for the living room out of Thomas Paul Dahlia fabric in slate. I love how they look with the pretty purple pillows Grandma gave me. I still need to work on replacing the fabric on my shades, but I think the green in the pillows ties it in a bit better for now. I have the fabric and will be working on the shades soon!
