food and books.

We are getting ready to build a floor to ceiling bookcase in our dining room. I can't wait... I literally dream about it day and night. Stay tuned... all fingers crossed it should be done by next week! One more thing checked off my list... now the only things left on my list rustic dining room chairs, new floor rug, and bamboo blinds. 

It's amazing... right when you think you've finished with your house... you want to chance it again. Oh well... I'm a Dittamore Girl at heart. I learned from the best. Thanks mom.

Pumpkins, Skulls and Roots.

We recently had an eventful night with friend... warm tortilla soup, wassail, pumpkins and a fake bloody candy hand. We competed for the best carved pumpkin. I personally think I won with the skull, but in the end our friend walked away with the prize... a lovely fake bloody candy hand. All in all it was a great night... minus my hideous roots above. Thank the lord it's fixed for the next 6 weeks. 

Junk in the trunk.

If you have the pleasure of living in Tulsa... then you are required by ME to stop by Dixie Cream donuts. Saturday morning my Nonnie and Pawps called us to meet them at this little slice of heaven. Oh my word, it's a bad thing it's so close to my house. But I had a blast with my family, who just returned from St. Louis. My Nonnie was in a slightly frisky mood and decided that I shouldn't be the only one wearing a barrette and sunglasses for pics. Rob and Pawps had plenty of fun on the computer while us girls chatted. 

P.S. the retro man on the coffee sleeve made my day. I will only get my coffee from there now solely because of him. Thanks Dixie Cream for adding more junk to my trunk!

Sisters and Scooters.

Back to a busy week... we stopped by my parents house to pick up our scooter, he's been spending the night over there lately! 

Francie, my seven month old sister above was being a hoot. She acts like she can already understand our conversations.... CRAZY. But my favorite part of the night was my seven year old sister wearing my mom's gold high heels everywhere!

Animal finds

More finds I forgot to post about. 

I was just telling Rob... we need a ladle for our spoons when we are cooking .... and look what I found, a nifty little owl. 

And last but not least a cutie little soup terrain with a fabulous chicken head. It's a beautiful color I might add.

Tootles. 

Dear Santa

Dear Santa, 

I am adding to my list at rapid speed I know. But I need these two things desperately. 

For where.... I don't know exactly but it will come to me I promise. 

P.S. I want the wardrobe sans the stuffed animals please. 

Thank you.

Happy find.

Look... one of my new finds from another successful day of treasure hunting. The fabulous thing about this holder is that it has a tag hanging from it with the engraving "Las Vegas Hilton 1974 24K Gold" 

It's it to DIE for. It's an especially happy find for me because 3 of my BFFs live in LV. LOVE IT.

October

So my days have been full to the brim with house cleaning, fabulous bridal showers, winery festivals for work and many many more things. But in all the madness, I found time to sift through my favorite websites and stumbled upon this farm house in the NY times.

How can you deny that charm.

This is #1 on my Christmas list....

Dear Santa...

I need this.

Best investment.

This was the best investment of all time hands down. We go grocery shopping with it, the farmers market with it, our friends houses with it... but best of all we always go on Adventures with it. 

Two things every person should have in their life... a husband and a scooter.

Fabulous parties

We just hosted a fabulous 1920 themed lawn party for our good friends Cait and Harry which are getting married Nov. 6th. It was the best shower I have ever been too, if I do say so myself.
