It's a gloomy night in Baltimore (go Orioles!) so it's hard to feel like being in the fall spirit, but the selection of cool items you put together are beautiful, including that vintage drink set mix.

And such lovely items and beautiful background music. ;)<br /><br />Well, I'm a 24-year-old, state-workin' design nerd (it makes me faint at heart).

She lives south of Buffalo in what is lovingly called the "snow belt." Her boys are 2 and 4 and love the snow. Her little girl was born in August so it will be another year before she gets excited about snow.

A cold front id sue to come through tonight and bring some changes. After living for 28 years in Buffalo, NY, the weather here always seems balmy to me by comparison. I will stop back again later. I have shared through most of the social media that I am connected to and will hit the others tomorrow. Thanks again.

My ...I first learned to make jewelry when I was 12. My mom and aunt are creative, and back then they went through a big jewelry-making phase. So they taught me and I made a few things, and then I sort of forgot about it for 11 years in favor of other crafty stuff. Starting my business came about for a couple of reasons. One, I had been out of college for a year and was having a lot of doubts about the field I was in (radio). Two, I had recently gotten married and had a blast planning my wedding. I wanted to stay in the wedding circle somehow, and remembered that I knew how to make jewelry. So I opened the shop!<br /><br />As for my favorite thing about the house, it's a tie between not sharing walls with our neighbors and having more room to decorate, haha.<br /><br />Now my question for you: how/why did you start this blog?Paige @ Little Nostalgiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11978050087934003216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5980870119150557142.post-21379610140006332962012-10-04T21:47:28.242-04:002012-10-04T21:47:28.242-04:00Thanks for inviting me to this ...
