it's the great pumpkin

It's the great pumpkin Charlie Brown! One of my all time Charlie, Linus and Lucy favorites aired tonight. I never tire of watching Lucy facetiously trick Charlie with the football. poor Charlie. And I love the great determination that Linus displays by sitting in the pumpkin patch all night, despite his friends smack talk. Life lessons start with Charlie Brown. Hope you all have a spooooky, scary, ghoulish-ly delightful Halloween! I'm off to Monsters Ball...

Charleston: Watercolors

I recently came across these adorable lowcountry watercolor paintings of Charleston. They are miniature 5x7 scenes that would make a cute collection on a bathroom or hallway wall. My favorite is the Broad Street scene (pictured below) because of the architecture it captures and because it reminds me of fall here in Charleston. At only $5 per print, these are extremely budget-friendly.

Rockin' Rug

I'm currently obsessing over this Arabesque Coral Rug by Global Views. Love the orange punch and pattern play that this brings to a room. I'm thinking an exquisite pair of turquoise and gold lamps would make a great combination with this rug...isn't it divine?

SC State Fair

The South Carolina State Fair is currently in Columbia, so last weekend boyfriend and I took the opportunity to go check it out and engage in some quality people watching. I absolutely love the fair. Where else can you find fried butter, safe rides, gigantic stuffed animals, cows, art, sand sculptures, the largest watermelon in the state, and much more all packed into one place? We had a heck of a time riding the himalaya, swings, and rainbow...and we felt like kids all over again.

 No trip to the fair is complete without the ferris wheel!

Football Friday: Part 1

It's finally Friday and I'm headed home to the Upstate for some Oktoberfest fun and Clemson football of course! It's Homecoming weekend in Death Valley and I could not be more excited! The Tigers are taking on the Miami Hurricanes and we cannot wait to ROCK THE VALLEY! Bring on the Homecoming floats, good friends, early tailgating, football and solid orange. I found an old Clemson vs. Miami football program from the Orange Bowl in 1951. How precious! I wish they still made program covers like they used to. Where will you be tailgating this weekend?
