inspiration everywhere

Where to start?  Isn't that the toughest part?  I guess a little time of reflection on my whirlwind inspiration filled weekend is a good place.  My trip to Texas was short but oh, so sweet.  My sister has the gift of hospitality and she was so gracious in her giving of time and (sometimes scary) navigating of the streets and beltways of Harris County. 

We spent Sunday in the quaint town of Spring, Texas.  The weather was picture perfect and all the shops were filled with both beauty and quirkiness (and even a little what were they thinking) that inspires.  It may take me a couple of posts to share just how pretty the day there was.

The heart pictures from yesterday's post were from a shop called Thad's. The grounds were lush and green and just added to the allure of this little shop.  It was sensory overload for this gardening, color addicted girl.

It was my first taste of Christmas decorating this year and I oohed and aahed my way through the entire store. 

I was planning on scaling back my Christmas decor this year but now, I don't know.  It was all so festive and pretty.  I loved the huge ball garlands in the archways and I think I may have the perfect place to give one a try.

Not this soon, of course.  November is full of things to be made, parties to plan and more than enough to be thankful for.

Yikes!  November already?  Where did the year go?  Time flies by so quickly, doesn't it?  Happy November.
