Skirt: Wide Elastic Waistband and Layers of Cute

I love this girl.

I also love fabric.

Pile of Amy Butler Fabric + wide elastic band

There. Who said you wouldn't use math daily?

Back to Blog Therapy...

Well, I took a nice LOOOOOONG break from blogging.

Turns out I missed having a place where I could write more than 3 short sentences. I like to hear myself type. Think. Talk out loud to an empty room while I type. You know. Those sorts of things. Because really, I figure stuff out when I speak it out loud or type it. Blogging = Cheap therapy + fun :)

And I just figured that all out because I told my empty office room about it while I typed.

I'm kind of a nut.

Anywho. I'm back.

No promises on frequency or quality of posts, but I'm back :)

Grey, Brown and Mustard Fall Outfit...

I have a hard time mixing neutrals. However, I gotta say I'm digging brown and darker gray with a pop of color! And the coffee. I love the coffee.

You'll have to imagine a nice Pumpkin Spice Latte in that white cup of yummyness!

Fall Pumpkin Spice Latte Print...

Oh yes, it is FALL.

School has begun, its been chilly every morning and I have a strong sudden desire to wear chunky cable sweaters and sip a Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Mocha.

You know what that means, right!?

That's right, the Pumpkin Spice Latte print is going back on the wall!

Of course, it is here for you to print and hang on your wall so you too can stare at it all day:

I believe it's 11x14.

Last fall when I did the Ruffles & Rust show I designed this fall Pumpkin Spice Latte print which I printed out on fabric and made some fall throw pillows. I LOVE this print (its an 8x10) and it's free for you to print and frame:

I decided it might need a bit more 'oomph' and made a few more with some added fading and stuff:

And another variation with a burlapish weave:

Left click image and hit 'Save image as'. Upload to Costco (or wherever) and get it printed! Go through the Starbucks drive thru and get a Pumpkin Spice Latte to sip on while you drive to pick up your Pumpkin Spice Latte print. It's really the only correct way to do it.

Happy Fall Y'all!
