First Find.....Celebrate Fall!

Oh Splendid Day! Guess what I found last night by happy accident? Drum roll please....
THE VERY FIRST FALL MAGAZINE ON THE NEWSTAND!! At least it's the first one that my lil' peepers have seen. Now I wasn't even looking for, nor expecting, to see any of those out yet....but there she was tucked into the Home Decor section! "Phyllis Hoffman's Celebrate FALL!" Woo Hoo! Pumpkins on the front, nice fall photographs, recipes and entertaining ideas inside. It's not the 'Halloween' issue, but that makes no never mind to me.....as beggars can't be choosers! I'll take it....because just that one little sighting has lifted my spirits and caused my Halloween antennae to spark ever so slightly! {zap zap}
And speaking of 'Soaring Spirits', as if that weren't gift enough....I also picked up a "Romantic Country" magazine and lo and behold if it didn't say "Magical Rooms" and "Charming and Spooky Halloween Decor" on the front. Say what???? I snatched that thing open so fast I almost sprained my fingers. Now mind you....this is a 'Decorating' magazine, so it's filled mostly with pretty rooms and decor ideas. But there was one article titled "Let Spirits Soar", which was about Halloween decor. The room was styled and photographed by LuLu Tapp and what a fab job she did too. I really loved the natural, neutral tones of ivory and white....very sophisticated and classy in a natural way. But still with a touch of the macabre, as two skeletons hold vigil at the dining room table. LOVED it! As for the magazine....that is the only Halloween related story, but the rest of it is great too if you are into Decorating.

So count me officially stoked, because these lil' sightings o' mine, can only mean that more good things are on the way! :o)
