my lovely "new" door

i have been wanting an old door for some time now. where i live, these are hard to come by. a friend was at a yard sale in redlands, ca (about and hour from me) and found this door being used as a table! she asked if they would sell it to her and now here it sits in my living room :) such a happy girl am i!!

ahhh....love fall!

i decorated for fall a little early this year. living in california (the desert) to be more exact, it's hard to get into the fall mood when it is still nearly 100 degrees. i'm hoping that decorating will bring cooler weather! (hey...a girl can hope right)

i'm way too excited about decorating for halloween this year too, but my daughter's 2nd birthday is october 2. since we are doing an alice in wonderland theme, halloween will have to wait until the 3rd...she'll be having a halloween party next year :)
