Instagram love

These last few weeks have just flown by and I suppose it doesn't help that I simply can't keep my eyes open.  Yesterday I sat down at 2 after having a nice lunch and then before you know it I woke up at 5:15 in total darkness. Whoops. Baby growing sure does take a lot of energy. I've slowly but surely been getting ready for all things holiday and just need one more gift to get. Are you guys ready for the holidays?

As I mentioned, the husband and I stopped off at Renegade Craft fair on Saturday and I picked up a new Lerf Ewe cup to add to our growing collection, I think we are up to 7 now! I just love how no two are alike and artist Klai is such a wonderful person to chat with. We have grown to know her over the years and even though we see her only once a year she always remembers us. Talk about a great memory!

The husband has started to get things up on the wall to get ready for baby, it only seemed natural to put up our do your best print for her. I also hung a photo of the husband and I that we took for our baby announcement and a darling mouse illustrated patch. I still need to paint the frame but am not sure as to what color...these are sitting right above a dresser that is a creamy white so I'm just not 100% as to what color I want it to be.

And lastly in this weeks Instagram love is our main holiday decor. Our fireplace/radio/record/8 track player has been all dolled up with festive packages and a few natural ornaments. Since we live in a small apartment and didn't want to drag a full size Christmas tree up I opted for a small rosemary bush. Last year I made that fabric bunting and decided it would be the perfect way to spruce up our little bush. Not a whole lot of color but its just the way I like it, simple and to the point. How have you decorated this year?

Simple treats

Oh cherries, how I love you. Though I always go toward the deep bing cherries, I couldn't resist these amazing rainier cherries from my local produce market. Perhaps one of the best perks of my neighborhood is the high turnaround of produce, you never know what will be in stock! I grabbed a cup from my Lerf Ewe collection and got snacking...what is your favorite summer fruit?

Sweet snacking

I picked up my first pound of cherries for the season and I cannot wait to get my hands on more. Cherries are right up there with watermelon and blueberries as one of my favorite fruits and thankfully my neighborhood produce market seems to get cherries by the truck full. To hold myself back from eating the entire bag I grabbed one of my favorite mugs from our Klai Brown collection {we've got 8 unique faces} and got to snacking.
