Whirl of a Weekend!

Well, not really... I had a super relaxing weekend at home with my sweet husband and puppies! On Friday night we had one lone trick or treater, and then we shut down the candy operation early and watched Baby Mama. Not superb. It had its funny moments, but Greg got bored about 30 mins into it. Never a good sign!

After that I finished up a painting for a competition I am entering and helped Jaran dress as Ms. America for Halloween Festivities over the phone. Had some issues with the painting, but I am pretty happy with the results...
On Saturday morning we found a little chihuahua puppy prancing up and down on our street. Of course we had to take her in! The poor girl was covered in fleas and did not have on a collar or tags. I called around to our local animal shelters and no one seems to be missing her. I named her Holly after Holly Golightly because her markings make it look like she is wearing stylish tan boots. Oh she is so sweet- super cuddly and little! We wanted to keep her, but we have 4 animals already. Greg took her to work this afternoon and a sweet lady named Betty is going to adopt her. She promises that we can visit her, and she is keeping her name Holly Golightly! I couldn't be happier!That about sums up the festivities of my relaxing weekend. It was so nice to stay in Tyler for once!

Super Fun!

Happy Halloweeeeeeeeeeeeen!

Such a fun holiday! I love Halloween! I think I am going to just stay home with the hubs and watch a movie and pass out candy- but I still love it! I might dress up to open the door... I tend to like to dress up!I went to an art show at Caffe Tazza last night for John Randall York. I loved his whimsical Halloween stuff! I purchased a cute little print of an artist fairy. Here is not so fabulous picture of it, but you get the idea. The pictures above are also his work. His website has more... I like its playful nature! It makes me want to draw fun little fairies and pumpkins!!! Check it out!!!

Ouch.

I just got my flu shot. Not so fun. I am anticipating a sore arm this evening. Have you had yours yet? I better not get the flu!!!

J-List: Fancy Fancy Edition

Sometimes I just like to be fancy. Here are somethings that are "Fancy Fancy" to me!

The Aviary Handmade Cushion by bridgetdavies on ETSYBridget's designs are OH so sweet! I'd love one for our bedroom... granted the fancy puppies might not do it any good!

Little Black Dress with Lace from Banana Republic
Everyone needs a little black dress... why not have a "Fancy Fancy" one??

Mirrored Jewelry Box from Z GallerieThis reminds me of all of the beautiful mirrored antique art deco furniture I love...

Glam Sofa from Lorin Marsh
No, I will never pay that much for a sofa... I have a feeling it is rather pricey, BUT it would be "Fancy Fancy" in my light and dark pink striped massive walk-in closet that I also don't have. Reminds me of the one Andrea used in Top Design for her Light It Up episode with the Swarovski Crystal chandeliers.Fancy Fancy!

Limoncello Necklace from Anthropologie.

I fell in love with this necklace a couple of weeks ago. It is such a statement! I would wear it with my navy wrap dress... "Fancy Fancy!" Reminds me of lemon drop candies!

Holly Golightly Breakfast at Tiffany's Sleep Mask I saw this in the November Elle and told Greg I needed it for my stocking. Anyone who knows me would know I am a super fan of Breakfast at Tiffanys. This is fabulously fancy!

Fancy Nancy Books at Barnes and Nobles

I got the Fancy Nancy books for my niece Katie. She adores them. I love them too! Fancy Fancy Nancy!

Have a Fancy day!!!

Oh My Goodness!

My friend Alli sent this to me. I am amazed!!!

Whirl of a Weekend... Again!

Well, I told myself I was going to rest this weekend. It so didn't happen! Well, at least not on Saturday! I had a BLAST though!

Friday night Greg and I headed to On the Border for a little romantic night out. Then we went to Target. If any of you know Greg- this is HUGE! He hates to shop! I lured him with the chance of buying a new Wii game. We didn't buy one, but he was a good sport when I picked out new tights!
On Saturday I woke up rather early and headed out to Dallas. I had to run a few errands before I attended my dear friend Jessica's bridal shower! I had a fantastic time and even won the unscramble wedding words game! Holla! I got a cute little flower plant as my prize!

After Jess's shower I met Dr. Heidi Edmondson, I will always call her Dr. b/c I am so proud of her! We went to the oh so tasty Grand Luxe at the Galleria and then walked around Pottery Barn- where we got a little camera happy!We loved this cute little owl candle...
and this awesome orange rug!


I headed home after that and didn't do much during the day on Sunday trying to recover from my crazy Saturday. Sunday night however, Greg and I had an oh so romantic dinner on our patio! It is the start of our anniversary week, and when we first started dating he wooed me with his homemade fajitas. So, last night he made fajitas and we sat outside on our patio and ate by candlelight. It was the most romantic meal ever! We had our puppies with us and the beautiful East Texas trees all around us! We even had a telescope for some stargazing after dinner- granted it didn't work very well b/c of all of the massive East Texas trees. Oh well, it was a nice idea! Such a great start to Year #3 for us! We want to do it again for our actual anniversary, which is on Wednesday.

All and all- another great weekend! Next weekend I am staying home though! I am behind on my cleaning and painting!!! I did paint this fun little bass fish last week for a charity silent auction and fishing tournament. I like him! I hope he makes them lots of money!!!
