That Is So Awesome!

That's what the trick-or-treaters are saying when they leave our house cuz they got little cans of Jones Soda in Candy Corn, Lemon Drop Dead, Gruesome Grape or Strawberry Screamer, plus the usual chocolate, etc. I love it!

I'm in love! I found Alicia's photos on Etsy awhile ago, forgot about them (oops), then found them again and all I can say is WOW! I am in awe and can't wait to get some - I'm still deciding - there are so many I love.

Anyway, here's the link to her website:

What an awesome way to support artists and the handcrafted arts. I have so may favorites right now. I bought some soap today and I think I will be purchasing this:

Probably one for me and one for A. for Christmas.

And I think I'll be getting this for A. for Christmas as well, without the pearls though:

Here's the Plan

Sticking with the color in the kitchen

Painting the back entryway with brick red floors, a yellow that is 1-2 shades lighter than the kitchen and white trim and then I think I'll do wood Roman shades

Bathroom - originally I was thinking white and that's probably what I'll wind up doing, but I am thinking of olive green - since the BR is right off the kitchen, I think the olive green would complement the yellow

BTW, the look I am going for is 'Italian Villa' and the reason that I am going for that look is that the people who lived here before us put in new countertops in a terra cotta color - it wouldn't have been my first choice for color, but I think that the Italian Villa look will be nice

I found some dishes at WalMart that match the look I'm going for and I think that I may just get a whole set

hmmmm...I think that's it!
