pajamas for the rest of the weekend,  to tell you where you should go shopping this weekend.

Right in the comfort of your own home, in your pj's.

My sweet blogging friend Alicia, of La Famille has an awesome little Etsy shop, La Famille At Home.

It is full of good stuff.
She always has some cool things in there, but right now she has some really cool things in there--

It's Feeling Like Fall + A Shop Update

Hey there.
It's Friday!
And you know what?
It is really feeling like Fall last night and today, cooler temps, a little rain and no humidity!
amen.
That means we have survived 4 whole weeks of school now.
I have a whole post coming on that and what i think about our BIG switch and listening to
that little voice inside your head-- or heart.
more on that next week though.

>>>>>>>>>

This was my little Shop Assistant on Wednesday.
Isn't she cute?
Too bad she kept saying things like; "Why is your office so messy?" and "What is all this junk for?"
Whooops. Yeah, she might have been kinda right.

So I wanted to share with you here a few things here that I have just added and a few of my
personal favorites that are in the shop.
This whole Etsy shop thing is kinda time consuming, or really time consuming, but a lot of fun, too.
I have the perfect excuse to do what I already love doing;  thrifting, antiquing, flea-marketing and
rummage sailing but for my shop(and sometimes for myself) -- it's working for me.

*{Autumn Harvest Table Cloth + 4 cloth napkins}

I don't quite think the photos due this sweet table cloth justice, it is really cute and the muted Fall
colors make it just a little bit different than a lot of the table cloths I come across.
Perfect for Fall and Thanksgiving-- but it does not look like it is just for Thanksgiving at all so you
could use this for the next couple of months.

Here are a few of my personal Fall Favorites in the Shop right now....

Someone asked me just the other day how I shopped for my Shop.
Well, I just listed most of the places above, I also love Estate Sales and pretty much anywhere I
can dig through a bunch of stuff looking for buried treasures.
I am not afraid to get my hands dirty.
I only buy things that I like myself, unless I am specifically buying something for a person I have in
mind. I don't buy things just because I think they will sell if I don't really like it because if it doesn't sell
then it's mine, so I had better love it.

Happy Friday everyone, hope you have a great weekend!!

Coffee + Pancakes + Shop Talk

good morning.
yesterday i promised myself i would get all of my housework done before i sat down to work on shop stuff.
it should come as no surprise that by the time i got the kids settled down for a little quiet time and then
made myself an iced coffee and got my stuff all out on the kitchen table...
etsy was down.
but of course it was.
oh, it came back up eventually though and in the mean time i edited pictures and listened to music,
so much for plans, huh?
oh well.

yesterday morning i made these yummy blueberry pancakes for breakfast.
they were really good!
my pancakes are never really that good and normally really flat, so i was super happy.
i didn't have buttermilk, because--well, i never do, so i added a little cream of tartar to the milk.
did you know you could do that as a buttermilk replacement?
i had no idea.
anyway, they were really yummy so if you are looking for an easy + delicious pancake recipe you
should try them. thank you, allrecipes.com!
oh- and it's not a blueberry pancake recipe, i just added the blueberries.


>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

so.... in coffee news, specifically Virtual Coffee news, I am going to try something different starting in august.
i think i will take a little break for the last few weeks of summer, then come back the week school
starts for Virtual Coffee. that will be august 21, the first day of school is august 20. gulp.
you know i will need some serious pep talks and moral support that week.
anyway, i am kinda excited about trying something new, so...we'll see.

and in Shop news....
i updated my shop this morning.
i was really excited about a few of the things i just listed and hope they can find a new home soon.
the funny thing about the shop is that i honestly do want to keep most of the things i put in
there... but i can't, so on the shelf they go.

one more thing--
i watched julie & julia last night and i kind of forgot how good it was,  i hadn't seen it
since the theater.
meryl streep is just so good, one of all my all-time favorites...plus the whole blogging thing.
yep, love.
well- that's it for me today... hope you all have a great day.
