I keep seeing these wonderful lists of things that people like. Just random, happy little lists of the things that make people smile. So, minus a snappy title, here are a few things that make ME smile...

Can you believe it? It's a Halloween Izze and it's so pretty to look at and even prettier to drink. Yum...

I love the look of vintage Halloween decorations. Sadly, true vintage Halloween items are very expensive and very hard to find! I found this at Michael's - by Martha Stewart. Cute, vintage-like and $7!

Check out the cat - adorable!

I found these at a little antique store in Carpinteria - love, love, love! I'm waiting for some of the diners in my house to get a little bit older before we actually light the candles at dinner time.

A total score at the Pasadena Rosebowl Flea Market. A lovely vintage strawberry (can you tell I like strawberries?) table runner and five napkins. In great condition so they may just be nice repro prints.


I found these linens as well - adorable and the dogwood on the green is so freakin' pretty! No, I don't own an iron. (okay, I do, I just don't like to use it)

This is not one of my favorite things. However, it makes me smile when I see it on my oven. Blanket-O-Flame!! Sounds so dangerous...

I found this on eBay. Pajama Bags!! I dream of the girls tucking their jammies into one of these guys...

This is a perfect example of a craft gone wrong. I found this on the
Anna Maria Horner website and for some reason, my fabric bubbled up on the canvas. I will try again because it is such a wonderful craft!
