We may still have green leaves on the trees here in Austin, but this time of year makes me think of warm tones and crunching underfoot regardless. Therefore, this month's Etsy round-up is all about falling and fallen leaves. Take a look: Falling Leaves by Dragonflight...
I am back from our trip! Did you miss me? 😉 We had an activity-packed week spending time with the boy's extended family. It was like a mini family reunion. And by mini, I mean 13 people total, which doesn't seem like much until you're trying to coordinate everyone in...
With Halloween at the end of the month, October seemed like the perfect time to dip into the darker side of Etsy. For this month's round-up, I looked for beautiful pieces with just a little edge of creepiness, weirdness or darkness. And I'm kind of loving how this...
Technically there's still another week before true autumn starts, though here in Texas we'll have at least another month or so of summer weather. That doesn't mean I can't start thinking about fall, right? Right. Accordingly, this month's Etsy round-up features some...

ModCloth is having their big Last Hurrah sale right now, which means lots of things at 70% off. Which is music to my money-saving-loving ears. Here's what I snagged: My order already shipped! Can't wait to try everything on - crossing my fingers that...
This weekend I'll be attending (and volunteering at!) the Texas Style Council conference. I'm pretty excited about it, and just a smidge nervous because, hello, introvert. But I went last year, so I know more what to expect, and know some girls attending, so...
Etsy pretty things round-up time! I ran through the gamut of monthly-themed treasuries (which you can see here) so from now on it'll be whatever random fancy strikes me each month. And after vacation last week, I have beach on the brain. 🙂 So today's Etsy treasury is...
Photo-heavy post warning! Last week we escaped down to Port Aransas on Mustang Island for a few days. It was a 4-hour drive from our place, which isn't too bad, though some passengers disagreed: There was a lot of rain on the way down, but it cleared up for a...
