here's my results...

Sjn you are an Elegant Classic

You have a refined sensibility with an appreciation for history and tradition in your furniture and your rooms. You value beauty, things that are well crafted, and family heirlooms. You are visually sensitive and understand how symmetry and a formal layout give order to a room, and hence your home is refined and calming. You are not taken in by the trends of the moment. You go for things with a timeless appeal, and appreciate old-fashioned virtues like manners and handwritten notes and making a home that is welcoming for others.

You value serenity. While there are probably a lot of interesting things in your home, they are joined by your taste or a certain palette that keeps them in harmony. You appreciate the beauty in simple forms. Whether fancy or plain, you appreciate things that are well made and function as well as they look. You also have a strong respect for the environment and craftsmanship. You care about how things are made, and how they are used.

September's here... the nights are getting a little cooler,
and soon the green around us will turn to orange and yellow and red...

and fall will arrive... all warm and cozy

feel the autumn glow...

organic stamping... who knew!

I just saw this over at {with the pixie grin} and love it so much I have to pass it on!

It's Martha of course!

I'm really gonna try this!

lavender blue... dilly dilly

If you've been shopping lately... you've surely noticed how big the color purple will be this fall.
Purples go to the red tones or the blue... here's a bluish lavender color palette to ponder.

birds of a feather...

I love this pair of Etsy birds and their color combination of green and blue. Use as a cake topper and have your little ring bearer carry this birds nest ring pillow!
