Things I am loving today 10/5/2010

 Things I am loving so far today... the dew on the grass in the back yard.

 Fall leaves on the ground.

 Green moss on the rock wall on the patio.

 The green of the moss growing in the cracks on the patio.

 My new polka dot coffee mugs =).

Fall flowers, and tea pots ready for evening tea with my hubby!

Are you enjoying fall too?

Date with hubby to Friday Harbor

Scott came home from work early today! It was an absolutely gorgeous day, so he suggested we fly to Friday Harbor for an early dinner *grin* (the photo above is Bellingham)
The flight was beautiful! A little bouncy, but luckily it is a short flight!
We both marveled at our being so lucky to live in such a beautiful area of the world!
Ahhh, Friday Harbor.... if you have never been, you must! It is such a quaint little town, I would so LOVE to live here! Hmmm, Bed and Breakfast maybe??? Or sailboat???

I have such a fascination with the ferry's I really enjoy watching them come in and go out. I think I may ask my mama if she would like to try to go next year to Alaska on the ferry.
My handsome pilot and date =D I am so lucky!
We sat outside and ate our dinner, watched 2 ferry's come in and go out, watched numerous seaplanes land and take off. I had the best fish tacos, Scott had prime rib. As we were sitting enjoying the sites we overheard one table of diners talking to another table about their flight over... they had both flown over for dinner as well, but from Port Angeles! hehe! Guess we weren't the only ones to enjoy the beauty of the day!
The flight home was smooth as glass! I end up taking so many pictures when I am in the air! The flight itself is maybe 15 minutes each way, I took 84 pictures! LOL! I do take the pictures through the window, so their is a little glare usually, sorry.
Mt. Baker behind Bellingham...
Back home again! We did take a look at an airplane while we were in Friday Harbor, if I had a nickel for every airplane my hubby looks to buy I would be a very wealthy woman! LOL! We shall see... hope you enjoyed your Saturday!

Bellingham By The Bay

I LOVE living in Bellingham! Now you can see why! I'll be back with a new post tomorrow!

Be sure to scoll to the bottom of the page a turn off the playlist before viewing the video ;)

Have a wonderful evening!

Happy box!

I received a Happy box today! It was wonderful to come home from a LONG day that started at 3:00 am saying goodbye to Scott at the airport, to being at work at 6:45, and giving my notice at work to a box full of goodies from Papertrey Ink my FAVORITE store!
More buttons, paper and stamps!
Notice the cute airplane stamp!?!
Sorry about the glare, I took the pictures tonight when it was dark out already. I will try to take new ones tomorrow.
I can't wait to try the ric-rac die cut! SOOO cute!
I also stopped at the scrapbook store on my way home.

Scott made it safely to Miami :) Special thanks to my friend Andrea, she took me to dinner and a walk around the marina! Tomorrow evening will be filled with cooking and preparing for Cinco de Mayo for work, I will be sure to take a few pictures to share!

Hope you had a great Monday!

Holiday Inspiration 2009

not martha

I have been in LOVE with so many things I have found in Blogland lately! How CUTE are those little gingerbread houses sitting on the edge of hot chocolate or wassail! I wish I had a reason to make some up, oh, and the time too ;)

little birdie secrets

These little kitchen towels are adorable, I actually went to JoAnns to try to find some fabric to make some of these and a few other things, but the line was so long I decided to put them on my list for next year!

I did make a few of these, and am having a group of my coworkers over so they can make one for themselves, but I am in LOVE with the ribbon detail of this one.

Love these burlap pillows too! Burlap is so big right now, I've seen stockings, ornaments, and table runners all from burlap.

What have you found that inspires you? I'd love to hear!
