These are little pins made by Folk Artist, Nicole Bowen. They are available through earthangelstoys.com, a site which features work by wonderful Folk Artists. They do brilliant work and I wish I was one of them.
I love this print found at grandinroad.com. The paintings are called Vivid Stills by J. Collins Keys who needs more of a web presence. I saw another of his paintings in the Better Homes and Gardens Color Schemes publication on newstands now. The entire magazine is really beautiful.

I sent this box into Good Things Utah as a thank you. I was so excited to have my love boxes on the show! 
Aunt Sherry had a party to celebrate Tirra's new baby on Saturday. It was so much fun! We walked up the path befested (I know this isn't a word, but it should be) with giant lollipops. The house was full of colored pots of swirly lollipops as well and I got to take bunches of them home! We were then met by Dorothy, Toto and all the other characters. Each character was having a marvelous time at the party, running through the woods and all over the yellow brick road until, at one point I thought the sweet scarecrow would fall asleep in my lap. A wonderful day was had by all and we were so very sorry when we had to click our heels together three times and say...
Today I had the opportunity to visit Alicia's classroom and watch her be the teacher. I already knew this but it was fun to see; she is a great teacher! She has a wonderful way with her students and is teaching them all the good things! Way to go Alicia! I am so proud of you!!!! Hurray!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Robert Held is an artist that I discovered at a gallery in Sun Valley. 
We recently checked out "Anything Considered" and "A Year In Provence" from the library; I am a fair person and wanted to give it a second chance.
Someday I'm going to have a white kitchen like my mom's. I love a white kitchen and I want it to smell like clorox wipes, because I love how those smell and I want it to have glass doors like these with lime paint on the inside! I think that would just be divine! And I want it to have all white retro appliances and another shade of green paint on the walls or maybe yellow. Lovely... Best Wishes.. Tiffany
Whenever I see a particular cousin, Rachel, she has on the most darling outfits. When I enquire about the origin, she often says JC Penny.
I copied this skirt from their website today. I love it! And, it costs less than $20. Wouldn't it be darling for fall with a bright, cherry red sweater?
I will be watching this site for cute bargains like this one! Thanks Rach!
Best Wishes... Tiffany
I think these may be a bit pricey for what they are, but how cute to have them both pinned to your jacket, very Granny Chic!
I love the colors!

What a beautiful tradition this is. I understand that several latin cultures celebrate these holidays, but this book is about Mexico.
I love the old fashioned look of the 3/4 sleeve blouse in the more modern bright kelly green and the waisted look with the wide belt and the darling, ouchy, but darling 30's - 40's black and white shoes. The skirt looks like a modern eyelet pattern and is so feminine and pretty.
Alexandra's new book is scheduled to be released, I understand, around the first part of January. I am excited to hear more about this new book. It was mentioned on her website some time ago that this new book will not be at all gender specific. 
Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower.
Raoul Dufy is a favorite artist. In Marcel Brion's short introduction to a small collection of his work he writes, "His optimism did not come from laziness or a vacant mind, but rather from a fullnes of life, a harmonious and contented nature, and happiness in his environment. 'I can only give you a fraction of my inward joy,' he used to say when friends looked at his pictures. His work shows no trace of worry or anxiety, the dramatic content is entirely absent, and each touch of color, every pencil line, re-echoes like a shout of happiness."
"Your lifetime is primarily enjoyed in your home. Where else can you be happier than in the privacy of the environment you love? Your own home! What a blessing to know we can live joyfully in our own home, letting the mystery, magic, wonder and power of the spirit of the place feed our soul. " Alexandra Stoddard Time Alive
Wouldn't this pink sofa be the perfect spot to enjoy a Jane Austen novel? I don't have it, but our tiny living room has a great southern exposure, just the perfect place to take a nap in the sun.
And, I love to come home to the bright pot of pansies on the porch. It is amazing what they can do in the spring if you plant them right now! Crown Azure are my favorites. They are the most glorious bright blue.
One last thing, there is nothing like a good rough mat to stomp your feet on, that is surely a sign of being home.

“I ran up the door, closed the stairs, said my pajamas and put on my prayers, turned off the bed and hopped in the light all because you kissed me goodnight!" AnonymousGranny Chic seems to be one of the most talked about trends of the last few seasons. Home and clothing fashions inspired by the 30's, 40's, and 50's are still coming into Nine West and Gap stores as of yesterday when I went shopping. I saw some really cute chunky cable knit sweaters in bright, bright 50's colors (lime, pink & turquiose) in Ralph Lauren that I just love.
I read an article that said Granny Chic came into fashion several seasons ago when Prada started designing shoes that were inspired by what little old Italian ladies were wearing.
I think that Granny Chic has been coming a long time before then, with the added care taken in design, the return of old comforts like quilts and pillows as well as oilcloth, knitting, eyelet, wicker and ofcourse BRIGHT COLORS. Hurray!!! My sister recently purchased a new washer and dryer set and it's BLUE! And, it's very cute! I have seen in magazines where people have refurbished old style kitchen appliances and I am hoping that soon those retro styles will be widely available in new appliances.
My own home is going more Granny as we speak. I love to have a pillow and a throw available to almost every seating area. This makes for fewer fights and is very cozy. And, my colors are going to go "brighter and brighter until the perfect day." In the spring we did some redecorating in our bedroom. We have the brightest blue walls in two shades. The room also has accents in touches of cherry red, pink yellow and lime. It is wonderful to wake up in such a cheerful bright space! I love it. 
What I don't love is book control. I have an addiction here that is taking over our small home. We really need to edit our collection and leave some space for something wonderful. But, I do love to have a good book within arms reach everywhere. That is always very cozy.
As I made breakfast this morning, I realized that Granny Chic extends to the pantry as well. I know someone who needs to have a little chocolate milk and whole wheat toast in the morning for everything to be just perfect. I always try to have something healthy in the morning, but that isn't as Granny as a warm apple fritter now is it (see hogiewogie.blogspot for a great recipe)?
Anyway try on an old comfy sweater on this crisp and beautiful fall day and find one other great thing that makes you feel Granny Chic and cozy. Best Wishes... Tiffany
