happy halloween everyone! there is a lot going on. this saturday, Derek and I are going to Asheville to spend the holiday night with our friends and go to a party all dressed up and cute. also, I have started hardcore crocheting. I do not know what is going on with me but I can't stop! I think that it is so much fun. Also, I entered a Shop Swap, in which I got paired with another etsy seller to swap one item and blog about it. My partner is sam's stuff. beautiful eco-friendly with vintage items. great prices and they are so cute!!

in the spirit of halloween, here are some great etsy finds:

I feel like I am in a tizzy 90% of the time. School is ridiculously busy and I am also trying to design my graduation announcements and sew and design some cute items at the same time. I also have trouble keeping up with this blog and putting things in my etsy. Not easy! The fall weather is making me wistful of a mountain fall, and I haven't even left yet. Awful. I want to go shopping all the time and I am broke again! We just spent the weekend in Atlanta working the wholesale mart and we saw so many cute clothes! I represented Tulle and they had some adorable sweaters and things.

Here are some items that I found adorable on etsy.

Hello from the life of a hermit! I have become a crocheting fiend and have no motivation to actually do anything or leave my house. Crocheting has become so much fun, unfortunately I am not that great at it. I keep trying and trying though. I have been battling a cold for 3 weeks! It just will not kick the bucket. The rain today fit my mood. I think I'm in a funk!

To make myself feel better here is some window shopping:

I hope everyone has a great day.

Today really seems to be bringing fall to the High Country. Blustery winds, the leaves falling and the crisp air is making me so happy. Being my last fall in the mountains, I am already feeling a bit nostalgic for the fall, even though it has not happened yet and I do not particularly fond of Boone, I will miss the fall. The colors of the trees are the most beautiful things I have ever seen and I am so excited it is that time of the year again.
I wore my new boots today for the first time today and I love them! They looked so cute!



I am in the process of sewing a good bit of bags and scarves and will post them soon. I am feeling so creative and full of ideas and hope that they all come out the way I am planning them to come out. I hope you are enjoying the weather!
