I don't know what it is about scallops but I simply adore them. I think they're so sweet. I stumbled upon this DIY ipad cover below and that started the whole search. Hope you enjoy today's collection friends! :)

Napa Valley:

February 26, 2013

My cousin got married a few months ago and so we all headed up to the Napa Valley area. I had never been but this town was absolutely gorgeous. We stayed in a little town called Rutherford and my cousin got married at this beautiful winery. I was with my mom and brother's so we didn't do a whole lot of exploring but we did have the english muffins from this place and they were pretty incredible, I want to go back just to have them again ;) My mom and I did get to do a little antique shopping so that was really fun to spend some mother/daughter time together.

If you're ever able to go to Napa for a vacation or getaway, I'd recommend it. It was so peaceful. It seemed like everyone had grape vines in their front yard, so legit. It seemed like a different kind of life around here - no one is really in a rush or always on the go.. We met a couple who comes here every year from Colorado, it's their yearly trip! I hope to return soon! Do you have a traditional yearly trip you take? That could be something fun to start with Nick.

Downton Season 3:

If you haven't seen Downton Abbey season 3 and/or are planning on watching it in the near future, STOP READING b/c there are spoilers ahead.

Can we just talk about Season 3 of Downton Abbey for a second? What is the deal?! I'm not sure how i feel about how it all went down this season. I mean, I guess it opens up a whole new story line for the next season so that could be cool. What did you guys think of Season 3? I was pretty bummed about the 2 actors that decided to leave the show. I read Dan Stevens wanted to pursue other opportunities. While I can understand that, I somewhat can't help but feel it's kind of lousy! Come on. Downton made your career, you could give your fans a couple more years!....? Anyone else with me on this? Anyone glad Matthew & Cybil are gone? Well, I hope they bring in a new guy for Mary or something. Any predictions for Season 4? Here are some photos I've found around the www of Mary & Matthew :)

Wow, quite a long time we have to wait until Season 4 comes back. Well, I'm a big fan of period films/shows - if you need something to watch until Downton comes back, here are some recommendations! Cranford Larkrise to Candleford Upstairs Downstairs Sherlock and I did a post of my all time favorite period films a while ago so check that out if you missed it! This post is actually where I found out about Downton Abbey, someone suggested it so thanks to you! ;) Feel free to leave a suggestion here! Happy Monday friends! (ps: sorry I've been away from blogging for a while, we're back to regular posting now)

collection / globes:

If you like antiques and vintage, chances are you have a globe in your home ;) We have quite a few in our collection. I know globes are way over-done but there's something that just doesn't get old about them. It's nice to look at a globe and remember the world is pretty big, keeps a lot of stuff in perspective! Anyway, here's a round up of globe-related images .. decor, diy's, and some fun globe stuff you can buy. We even sell a globe necklace in the shop, it's one of my favorites :)
