Vine (280 of 365)

It's not exactly a vine, but it's a product of what grows on the vine. Yum!

Toys (274 of 365)

Elmo is always one of the popular Christmas toys.

Triangle (273 of 365)

First of all, I am not a great gift wrapper. That being said, this box was so hard to wrap! Not only is it in the shape of a triangle, but it's about five feet long! It's certainly doesn't look very pretty. It is, however, a very good disguise for the gift(s) inside.

What's Inside? (271 of 365)

It's a surprise!

One Dozen (270 of 365)

A dozen Christmas gift tags. Aren't they cute?

Sunday Six: Week 49

Okay, so I'm late again, but at least it's here! I will preface last week's Sunday Six by saying that this might be my weakest set of the year. I was just not feeling that great last week, and creativity was not flowing. So, that being said, here is last week's Sunday Six.


Over Thanksgiving, my Dad and I sat and went through part of his vinyl collection. I hope to get to look through the rest of it the next time I'm at his house. He tells me there are original Beatles albums. I'm determined to find them, and confiscate them for my own. Here are a few of my albums. My collection is definitely small, but it'll grow.


Part of the artwork on the new Dave Matthew Band album. It has some pretty fun art.


Recently delivered Christmas presents. These are for my Dad and Step-Mom.


Homemade corn and potato chowder. Yum!


One of several books I'm currently reading. It's been a long time since I've been reading just one book.


A shot of my super warm duvet cover. I snapped this just before crawling into my freshly made bed for the night.

This week's Sunday Six will be up later. Only three to go . . .

What's On Your Christmas List?

I spotted something online today that I want for Christmas.

It's a trunk full of gourmet chocolates!!

Okay, so it's not the most practical gift, but check out all the yummy stuff that's included: 500 (!) pieces of chocolate ganache, five pounds of chocolate bark and croquettes, eighty ounces of Aztec hot chocolate in four tins, a twenty-ounce tin of Aztec Iced Chocolate, eight Aztec Hot Chocolate Bars, a teapot and infuser, two china teacups, a leather-bound journal and a small library of books on chocolate.

One might wonder as to the price of this extravagant gift. It's a special order piece which must be purchased in person for the low, low price of . . . $15,000.00! Don't forget, the trunk can be filled with personal items once you've made it through all those delicious morsels!

Fifteen grand. Isn't that crazy? I'd like to know how many of these Marie Belle actually sells. I'd also like a little bit of that chocolate!

Sunday Six: Week 46

Okay, so last week's Sunday Six is a full week late (again!). It's just been a really busy week! This Sunday Six comes to you from Nashville, Tennessee. My Mom drove over from East Tennessee and we stayed with my Aunt. Mom decided she wanted to visit Christmas Village which is held at the Nashville fair grounds. It's 6 huge buildings full of Christmas decorations and vendor booths.


This booth sold hand painted swings. Aren't they sweet?


Santa Claus ornaments, which really reminded me of the University of Georgia logo more than they did Santa's belt.


A bright, fun Christmas tree. Seriously, Christmas exploded everywhere in this place.


A tutu!


This is my aunt's cat, Tiger. I didn't have a chance to take too many shots of him while I was there.


He loves lying here and looking out the window.

This week's photos coming soon . . .

Pink (239 of 365)

Lots of pink in this display. I do, however, think the sequined pink clog is a lot of fun! I don't think I'd wear it, but it's still fun.

Trash or Treasure (238 of 365)

Hmm . . .

Mismatched (237 of 365)

Definitely a mismatched outfit on this mannequin lamp. I came across this while rummaging through an antique store.

Sunday Six: Week 39

This week I have a Recap Six. As usual, nothing terribly exciting, but hopefully there's something yummy!

But first, here's a view of what we've been dealing with here in Atlanta -- torrential downpours. It has rained the entire week!





This morning when I came back from the grocery store I noticed this:

It's a hot pink cornhole game! How fun is that? Evidently, my neighbors have been playing.

Now on to the yumminess . . .


Tonight, I'm having my first dinner guest at my new place! We're having roast chicken.


I stuffed the chicken with all of this: lemon slices, garlic, basil, oregano, and rosemary. Here's hoping it turns out yummy!


Finally, a close up shot of my lemon slices.

Until next week . . .

Sunday Six: Week 35

This week is a Recap Six from the weekend.


Yesterday I went shopping with some family members who came into Atlanta. We stopped at Ikea first. I am trying to plan out an area to hang a group of my photos in my new place and I really like this arrangement of frames.


After Ikea and a few other stores we headed out of Midtown and to the Perimeter Mall area. This is a drive-by shot of Atlantic Station.


One of the things I had to do today was hit the grocery store. I picked up these strawberries and blueberries which will be perfect for my breakfast!


I also bought a little seedless watermelon in order to try a new recipe I found.


Neither Whole Foods or Kroger had popsicle sticks, so I was stuck buying these sparkly cocktail stirs for my watermelon cubes.


The final product. Watermelon cubes. They're pretty yummy. Although, I think next time I'll add a little more sugar and a little less mint and lemon zest.

Until next week . . .

Sunday Six: Week 28

I have another Recap Six this week, but nothing too exciting. Here they are in order by when they were taken.


Last Sunday night my aunt and cousin stayed with me. We went out to dinner and walked along the Roswell Square afterward. This piece of art sits outside an artists market, just down from the main square. He's a cute little baseball player, isn't he?


On down Canton St. from the artists market we stopped to wait while my cousin ran up to a store window to check the hours for the next day. I snapped this quick photo of the streetlight.


I had more family in town this weekend, 5 more members to be exact. This morning we met for breakfast. On my walk to the restaurant I spotted this piece of art. It's a peacock, I think.


I also spotted this pretty, tin flower outside the Red Door Playhouse.


Friday night we headed to Ikea to do a bit of shopping. I finally found a duvet cover that I liked for my extra bedroom. I wanted something colorful and with a bit of orange. I took a photo of it tonight after it came out of the dryer and was stuffed with my down comforter.


Finally, I needed some background noise while I worked getting things settled tonight. It had to be something that wouldn't distract me. I chose the Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Rings.

Until next week, when hopefully I'll have more exciting pictures!

Earrings (192 of 365)

I bought these earrings at a shop in Denver last May. Allison, myself and another friend of ours met for lunch and walked around downtown for a bit. We all thought these Scrabble piece earrings were lots of fun, but I think I was the only one who bought a pair. I wear them all the time, and I get compliments on them nearly each time I wear them.

For Sale (180 of 365)

A mirror for sale at Paris on Ponce.

Security (161 of 365)

How safe would you feel knowing this guy was keeping his eye on you? He was placed just outside the entrance of a local beach store. I actually had to wait for a bit for all the kids to clear out so I could take his picture!

Sense of Motion (154 of 365)

This toy ferris wheel was on sale in a local store. It spins just like an actual ferris wheel and I managed to capture just a bit of that. It was totally unintentional.

Legs (140 of 365)

As soon as I saw these gams I knew what theme they'd be used for. I had no trouble at all with this one!

Red (139 of 365)

My friend and I took lots of pictures of this staged mannequin. She's wearing a very cool wig and has some bright red, glittery lips!
