Stylist Emma Persson Lagerberg's Home

Antique drop leaf tables make the best desks.

I have never seen a wire tower this small. Love it!

Isn't it fun to see how a stylist decorates her own home? Like what you see? More photos here.

Out of the Mist

I love fog and a good mist, don't you? via
I'm tucking in pretty soon under my down blanket. My house is cold. BRRR.

Gorgeous Entrance

Yes, please.
I love it all. The door surround, the planters, and the plantings. I would love to see the whole house, inside and out. I know I would love it. via

After Yesterday's Mowing

Today was another beautiful day but much cooler with blustery wind. I'm glad I picked yesterday to mow. Today I cut down some invasive weed trees with a hand saw and started raking my driveway. Little by little, I'm getting my fall cleanup down on time this year. It makes me gasp and when I think about three years ago when it snowed a lot over Halloween weekend and the trees still had most of their leaves. Maybe it was 4 years ago. Anyway, I want to stay on Mother Nature's good side this year and play nice with her so she doesn't throw another tantrum. I took this photo this afternoon from my balcony. Hope you had a good weekend too. Now off to my bed to watch Masterpiece Mystery on PBS -- Death Comes to Pemberley. Enjoy. xo

Elephants like Halloween too!

What a good use for Jack O'Lanterns after Halloween is over.
I had the busiest day ever and ended up spending the entire afternoon mowing, raking, and pruning. I got all my mowing done. The weather was perfect. Not too hot and not too cold and the grass was nice and dry. I'm so glad I waited until after the rain in the middle of the week. It's nice and short and hopefully the remaining leaves will blow away. Most of them have already fallen except on several trees that don't lose their leaves until the very end of autumn. I'm tired, but in a good way. Enjoy your Saturday evening. I'm going to look for a good movie to watch. xo
