"I'm really loving purple for fall this year"*

that title has nothing to do with these images of the dec. issues of marie claire idees that came in the mail over the weekend other than I thought of it when I saw this wreath photo:







* I made that comment about purple while out shopping with my friend jill the other day...we both laughed at how ridiculous I sounded. but it's kind of true & it all started with this pair of shoes I bought at target recently:


although I guess they're technically cranberry according to the description. so it appears I'm actually loving cranberry for fall this year. sorry purple...I hope we can still be friends.

    Looks like a good issue of Idees this time. Too bad I can't buy it locally and am too cheap to subscribe. LOL

    I am still in love with lovely lavender...very unlike me to dig purple so much.

    Purple...or cranberry, I suppose...does make a great color for fall, though! It's more fun than all the traditional browns and oranges and suchlike, while still feeling seasonal.

    keep looking Melissa - the more you go to the thrift stores the more you find...which is good & bad ;)

    its unliked me to be so into purple-ish colors too sarah & jack - reluctant purple lovers unite!

    le_records I do not see any info in the magazine about how to make the fox plushies...sorry.

    I agree completely Katy!

    thanks for your comments everyone - I'm so happy you stopped by today & hope you enjoyed the post as much as I enjoyed your little notes :)

    I made something using MArtha's pinecone art as inspiration- and it was so painful! Of course, I didn't take time to find gloves or anything! I love the white ball wreath- are they gumdrops? white berries? SO pretty!!
