I'm still here!

Apples, magazines, and old apple crates!

I know my posts have been spotty lately....been busy with life and  family. I know, I know, excuse, excuses...but it is what it is, and a girl has to prioritize sometimes.  Family first. 

Speaking of family, last Sunday, we went on our annual apple picking adventure in Hendersonville, NC.  At Stepps Apple Orchard...really such a fun!, and we end up with piles of apples of all kinds.  Last year we went a little late in the season, and the apples were slim pickins, but this time we got it together and went early.  Apples galore!

so many apples!

running amongst red delicious!

doesn't take long to fill up.

 All in all it was a wonderful day, and we have more apples than we know what to do with.  Tomorrow I will talk about why I had those magazines and the crates in the top photo.

Happy Monday, ya'll!  I've missed ya.

Color Stalking

Does anyone else color stalk?  I mean, when you find a room that you love and HAVE to know the color, and then find the color, and then feel the need to find ALL of the rooms that have the same color, so that you might be able to see a room that looks similar to yours, and then see what YOUR room might look like with THAT color?  I must confess, I am a color stalker.  The color of the moment, Benjamin Moore Cedar Green.

Where it started...House Beautiful I think the March 2011 issue?

This is all I could find from good ol' google.

Cedar Green

"Green is symbolic of growth. It also embodies another word that's going to be extremely important in the next decade, and that's 'flexibility.' Green goes with anything — just look outside. It can work with what you already own, as well as anything you'd like to add. It can feel classic or contemporary. And it's restful. It makes me feel balanced." —SONU MATHEW

Benjamin Moore Cedar Green...a winner in 2010. (I am always late to a party!)

I couldn't agree more.

All I could find....I am really liking this striped wall with the Navy blue and pops of orange.

Even though it was an it color in 2010, I think it might be a keeper.  Going to the paint store NOW!   Happy Color Stalking ya'll.
