So today we're gonna have a special clothing edition of crave + rave. Etsy has tons of fabulous fashion finds.
(that's right - it's not just mustaches, owls and robin's egg blue cowls :P)
Here are a few of the things I'd love to have in my closet.
I would wear this entire look, head to toe. The color, the retro silhoutte, the big hair...I am all over this !
Oversized collar? Check. Beautifl tweedy texture? Check. Knee grazing length? Check, check, check! This coat's has it all.
I love the simple silhoutte of this dress. It makes the delicate intricacies of the contrasting trim even more eye-catching and special.
Do we really need to talk about why I love this jacket?
Don't you just want to cozy up in this oversized sweater?!
Don't forget to s
end me your Look for our
Virtual Fashion Show THIS Friday! I've already received a bunch of photos, but as you know how the old saying goes, the more the merrier...
I'd love to get all submissions in by the end of today, but it's not like I won't accept them tomorrow too. : P I just need time to edit this monster post together, so don't wait 'til the last second, ok?

This year I'm striving to only give handmade holiday gifts. Whether made by me or one of the many talented craftspeoples out there, I want to spread the joy this Christmas with lovingly created prezzies.
Click the links for tons of gift ideas (especially for those hard to shop for folks!).
I think we all know a lady
(or seven) like this... ; )
So many dudes in my life...so glad for these "man themed" gift guides!
We do a "white elephant" gift exchange in this office. But this year, mine will be the awesomest!

If I ever harbored any doubts the Pacific Northwest is a magical place, those fears were well and settled this past Saturday.
The hubbers and I attended an open house for
Treehouse Point, a truly unique place located just 20ish miles east of Seattle.
Owners Pete & Judy Nelson constructed a one of a kind lodging experience in the lush PNW jungle.
Perched high in the pines are the kind of treehouses one only dreams of building.
Climb the stairs or scale the ladders, and inside you'll find a cozy stateroom unlike any other you've seen before.
Imagine lying in bed, gazing out into the dense green forest -- not a ground level -- but up in the canopy, sharing an evening in the woods with owls, squirrels and chipmunks.
Each treehouse is completely different.
This one is built around the tree's trunk!
Most have balconies providing unobstructed views of the forest.
The autumn sunlight filtering in through the trees lent a beautifully dreamy quality....
....although one can easily imagine how enchanting it would be to watch the rain cascade down around you, whilst cozied up in your own private nest.
The treehouses are scattered across the scenic property, some right along the river's edge.
Whether it's a peaceful retreat in contemplative solitude, or a romantic weekend away you seek,
Treehouse Point would be a remarkable way to experience the PNW.

The super sweet Livi from
Making Everyday Count gave me a blog award. Woohoo!
( Check out her blog to follow her adventures. She's always up to something fun! THANKS, Livi! )
So here's 7 more random things about little ol' me:
I miss spending time in the darkroom. I even
(kinda) miss the stinky fixer smell.
via
I have a pretty huge fear of feet. I hate them.
(So instead here's a photo of my new favorite boots.)
I'm pretty sure I'm a musical late bloomer. I was always more into movies during those times one is supposed to be all angsty and into music. But now, I can't seem to get enough tune-age.

My lucky number is 4.
"Faerie Glen, limited edition fine art print" by IrishPhotosI've traveled a lot of Europe, but never made it Ireland. I must remedy this!
I was born and raised outside of Detroit. I miss it. I love it. It still has a hold over me.
This is one part of a great positive view of the city.
via
I like my martinis dirty.
(hee hee.)
I'm passing this award onto all of you, my dears.
You are the most stylish buncha bloggers ever!

It's one of those mornings that can only be described as "moody" outside. Dense fog swirls between stoic pine trees. Traffic and people everywhere, but still seeming...quiet.
Today I am feeling...
Wistful.
Cheerful.
Hopeful.
Curious.
Hungry.
