: bliss : Tiffany blue

Tiffany blue has been one of my favorite colors for years, and now it seems to be a favorite color for brides, too.

With its romantic association with the famously glamorous jewelry brand, not to mention the delightful Audrey Hepburn film "Breakfast at Tiffany's", this particular shade of aqua conjures something special.

Such a lovely cool hue...Just perfect for a wedding.

(Or for a room, a bed, or a pair of shoes!)

when the leaves turn

Autumn always makes my heart ache a little. I start to feel that bittersweet pang, the cross between grief, from summer's ending, and longing, for cozy cooler days. The brilliant warm colors of autumn leaves are like jewels hanging from the tree boughs. 

All this color and longing brings inspiration for the home. I love seeing pumpkins, leaf garlands, and corn husks adorning door steps and table tops. Every year, these visual treats make me smile, as much as a cup of hot cocoa, or a mouthful of my favorite comfort foods might. 

Happy autumn to you all!
