Four Days at The Claremont
Before I even dive into this post, I am not sure I will ever have enough time in Maine or at The Claremont. The trip was a bucket list item, and the hotel and its staff were magical. I sit here typing, sipping coffee, and craving to sit on the back porch with the chill in the air, taking in the stunning view. I tried my best to soak up all of the goodness and magic of Maine to keep it in my heart.
It was that good.

Fall Sale At Barrington Gifts
I don't know which news I am sharing is better, that Barrington Gifts launched green leather trim or that they are currently hosting a fall sale? I mean, they both things I HAD to share. When I noticed the new green leather trim offering I immediately started designing items in my head. I love to buy and gift Barrington pieces and having an option for a green trim with their patterns is next level fun. I have a number of pieces with brown leather trim, a few with blue, and must choose something to design with green.
And the sale is the perfect time to make that happen.

Barn Jacket Round Up
With the cold snap right around the corner, it is time to check your jackets and grab a new one if need be. This fall has seen a resurgence of the Barn Jacket, and every shop I can think of has released at least one of them. I tried several of them and settled on two, both lightweight, with corduroy collars and pockets.
So, what is a barn jacket, and why is it trending this season ...

Pencil + Paper Co. Meets Mark & Graham
Early last month, the amazing Pencil + Paper launched another collection with Mark + Graham; all I can say is that it is sooo good. I was treated to a few items and immediately invited the family for happy hour on our porch. The fall weather is fantastic, and any time I can spend on the porch makes me very happy. This collection is heavy in reds, blues, and fun little patterns, just as I would expect from Gen and her iconic style.

Fall At The Claremont
Tomorrow morning, I take off on a bucket list trip, one I have been dreaming of and planning for months, even more than a year. I can't believe it is accurate and I might not be able to sleep tonight with all the excitement I feel. I will be in Maine for the week, leaving Friday evening to come home. I am taking four friends to stay with me at the beauty that is The Claremont Hotel in Maine. Just by opening their website, you will instantly be filled with visions of a fall Hallmark movie as it is toted as the most beautiful hotel in the world.

Needlepoint Magnets, Oh My
I have been a needlepointer for five years and love every day I get to stitch. After five years, I tried to get creative in my finishing so I would have more than just ornaments and framed pieces. For a while, I have thought it would be darling to finish pieces as magnets for the refrigerator, and today, I saw a visual of someone finishing theirs in this exact way.
Aren't these darling? I spotted them on Pinterest this morning; I apologize for the language in the one photo. Now, I am hyper-focused on creating magnets with a few of my finished pieces and choosing others for this exact purpose.
