Oh, J Crew!

J Crew watch



J Crew Vintage Field Army Watch 


I don't wear a watch or even own one ... but I might after seeing this. It combines my love of classic, vintage and military. Not to mention, green is my favorite color. It's based on an iconic 1940s military style from the Timex archives and only available at J Crew. I'd say it's near perfection.

I ♥ Etsy




What's not to love about these chevron inspired earrings? Even the photograph of the earrings is beautiful. This pair is going on my Christmas list immediately!

An Apple A Day ...


We went to the apple orchard over the weekend and have been enjoying 
homemade apple crisp and apple slices dipped in peanut butter ever since. 
I can already tell we should have picked more! My favorite thing 
to get at the orchard is the cider slushy. Yummm!

Barn Light Electric


 I  ♥ Barn Light Electric! Any of these would be perfect for my white farmhouse. 
Of course the farmhouse is a dream but these lights are the real deal. 
They are currently hosting a fantastic giveaway, 
check it out here or see below.






The Alston Wall Sconce would look fantastic in a bathroom.
Perhaps like the one above but on either side of the mirror?







I would really love to have a wall of three gooseneck lights to show off my family photos. 
This look would also work very well in my mud room. They would compliment 
my slate floors and contrast the white bead board wall nicely.  





These hanging pendants are very similar to what I have over my kitchen island. 
Of course mine are white and were a tad bit cheaper. (I got really lucky and found 
2 matching pendants at my local Habitat ReStore.) I love when that happens.






They also sell these great Edison style bulbs to complete that vintage look. 
Now more on the giveaway:
