the original title of my entry was going to be 'october around here'
however i am experiencing major issues with my internet/server/blogger
or something
& can't get all my images uploaded
so the title will now be
"some of october around here"
after losing the last hour & a half
to this issue
i now feel this will be a completely scattered entry
i apologize in advance
ugh
the other day savannah texted me stating that a ginormous box had arrived
i told her it must be the frame i ordered for her senior photo
mom, if the frame is as large as the box it shipped in, you will never miss me while i'm away at college!
well, the frame was not as large as the box
but it is grand & i can't wait to figure out where to place it
place it, because i'm all into placing verses hanging on the wall these days
but , isn't it great?
each morning i sit here & check emails
cruise around facebook
& read your blogs
however today i am unable to comment on any of them
thank you blogger/internet/dell laptop
whatever
i need to be careful how far i open my window
as we have a birdbath right out side
& it's not unusual for a sweet little wren to perch on the windowsill
wrens are cute outside
but it creeps me out to have a birdie flying around inside my house
i can finally carry the smokin bag my girlfriend gave me for my birthday back in the spring
& i will try to not be bothered that a male friend of mine
whose name shall not be mentioned
totally slammed it
& called it a word i probably shouldn't use on the family friendly blog
i figure guys just don't get it
whether it be funky purses
photography over- achievement
or taking images of fridge inventory
i'm betting i'll get a facebook comment
about my latest thing~
branch decor
yep, i just added an urn of maple tree branches
which i spray painted goldish silverish
in the kitchen
there might just be one in the living room
& maybe in the bedroom
too
found these little cuties in the dollar section at micheals
i think i've seen them several places for around 4 bucks a pop
score
most of the paintings i did while taking lessons
are all propped up in my closet
but
this week i pulled out this little fella
i love the paintings by N.A. Noel
her use of color is like none other
so i "practice" with many of hers
this little guy is one i did a couple years ago
thankfully brinkley has recovered from his unfortunate
sprain a few weeks ago
he ran his first 5k since being injured the other day
& honestly
i think he was quite proud of himself
the first string all lined up & ready to play
my new TOMS
are getting some action too
this is the part where i was repeatedly booted out of blogger
while trying to upload cheer photos
so i'll go place my call to dell now
wish me luck
hopefully i'll be back in the saddle with a less random post very soon

Hi Paige! I love it all...the frame, bag, decorating, and boots. But what I liked looking at the most was your cute dog and your beautiful cow painting! I have never heard of N.A. Noel, I'll have to search for her so I can see more of her style. Best wishes :)
ReplyDeleteYour home is lovely. Very unpretentious and wonderful. I love it. I also have been having major blogger issues the past few days. Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Have a wonderful week. Lori L.
ReplyDeletecan I come over with a cup of coffee!!
ReplyDeleteThe dollar spot at Michael's, I MUST check that out!
ReplyDeleteLove that your dog's name is Brinkley and those cute Happy Halloween Plates! They looks so much less creepy than the typical halloween decore.
Love all your sweet Oct touches and that frame for your girl's senior pic is absolutely stunning! Am sure her picture will make it even more beautiful!
ReplyDeleteJanet

Thanks for sharing!
Girl - you are talented!! That cow is smashing. My mom is a huge fan of N.A. Noel.
ReplyDeleteAlso, you've given me a case of boot envy. And ruffled lamp shade envy. And flowery bag envy.
But I'll survive. I think I will.
TALENT GALORE!! Your painting is fabulous!! Love your boot 'collection' and the frame and all your fall decorating is lovely!
ReplyDeleteSo sorry about the 'puter issuse :(

ReplyDeleteI feel like I always have internet issues. For some reason I am not getting all my blog comments sent to my email. I am not very technical, but I know I didn't change anything. Good luck with that! I love your golden retriever. We have two goldens and a chiahuahua. So darn cute!
ReplyDeleteAmy R.

ReplyDeleteI love, love, love the new frame and your Halloween decorations!
ReplyDeleteP.S. You recently inspired me so I am giving you a big shout out tomorrow. Thanks for kicking my rosy red Cornhusker a$$ in the right direction! The kids and I volunteered last weekend and we had a blast!
I totally laughed about the title change. Love your boot lineup! and how you fill your fireplace with pumpkins!
ReplyDeleteand I'm pretty impressed with your cow! geez! what don't you do???
Well, I'm loving the photos!!!
ReplyDeleteOh Paige I love it when you post pictures of your house and your style!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Everything is always so divine! thanks for sharing!!!
ReplyDeleteMmmmm, love it all. 'Specially the middle pair of boots. I looked high and low all over Nashville for similar boots to no avail. Any chance you bought 'em recently?
ReplyDeleteThanks for inspiring!
:)
edie
can i come visit. your home is simply delightful.
ReplyDeletelove the boots. love them.
brinkley is so stinking cute. what a beauty.
the purse, love that too!
what can i say, i love it all :O)
Love your fireplace full of pumpkins. Love your frame (Where is it from?). Love your Brinkley. Millie is not that particular about boys, and probably wouldn't care that he burbs. She does after all, lick her own rear.
ReplyDeleteShannan for a visit and today we went in NA Noel's gallery and then went to Anthro. Does that pretty much seem like a dream day to you? Come visit me and we'll do it together. By the way, I'm still totally coveting each and every pair of Anthro boots you have and I'm not afraid to admit I was talking smack about you last night when I first saw that picture. I do love you anyway but it takes a little more effort when I look at those boots. Also, what kind of painting classes did you take? I'm considering some one day in my future. I hope you enjoyed this comment that never ends. I'm pretty sure it is the longest I've ever left any where.
My house is such a mess, and I lost all my Halloween and Christmas decor....long story. So getting to take a little peak into your fresh fall home was soooo much fun!
ReplyDeleteWow, I want to come right over! Gorgeous. I love the ruffled boots and the slouchy gray pumpkin. Thanks for posting.
ReplyDeleteWow, what a charming home! I love the ruffled boots and the slouchy gray pumpkin in your fireplace. I can't wait to share it with my readers. Thanks for posting.
ReplyDeletePaige....
ReplyDeleteeverything is just gorgeous!!! your home is always beautiful!
the frame and fireplace and that painting...by the way...love those boots to the far right...actually all of them but I really heart the ones on the far right
xo
love this! I was wondering if I had somehow missed all the fall decor in blogland. Glad to find it here. :) xo
