Hazelnut Time

I went hazelnut picking today - wearing gloves and rubber boots. The nuts are drying in their jackets and hopefully peeling them won't be to hard on my fingers. Hazelnut jackets have these horrible little needles that get into your skin and feel like they are there forever. But once we get them out and start cracken - Yummm.... :) Another great picking time in Northern Maine!

Thrift Store Scores!

Today I made a trip to a favorite shopping spot of mine since junior high - my town's local thrift store. I scored very big on these wonderful Eddie Bauer mid calf high heel cowboy like boots! The best part is that they had never been worn, oh, and that I got em' for $2.00!!! :O SA-WEET!

I also scored this new maroon corduroy jacket, $2, to make a nice match with the boots!

It was a fab day for finds!! :)

Something to Brighten a Gloomy Fall Day

I found this beautiful flower next to my fence today - I had to pick it and display it inside. It was a perfect little gift from mother earth for this gloomy day. :)

Fun Things & Catch Up!

I know, I know I haven't been on point with my blogs, BUT, I can say that my DIY Wedding is going fairly well and we have 20 days until the big day! I am so happy that we are getting our vows blessed and having a celebration - after being married for almost 3 years civily, I am excited to do it again, just bigger and more personal and spiritual! After the wedding I will post my DIY wedding - can't wait to show you! So this is the last you will see of me until after the wedding, you may see me everyday after that, I have been collecting/doing so many things to post! :)

To add to this post I wanted to show you some neat and fun ideas that some creative people have done - now what would the world be without us creative people?! ;) ENJOY & See You Soon!

First Snowfall Outcome

First Snowfall of Winter 
2009-10!!

By the time we got outside this morning the sun had already melted down the snow. We got 6 inches! Winter in Maine is great due to the fact that when the sun shines it's so nice and bright and the sky a beautiful blue. My husband and I bundled up Sam and brought him out so that he could play in the snow for the first time - he LOVED it! Dadda decided to make a huge snowman! It was a lot of fun - one for the books! :)

yeay, Sam's 1st snowman!! (he kept saying, "what's thaaat")
