and here we are - another Sunday night, another glass of red, another round of "DVR Alone-Time with Kate & Boom." make that "DVR Alone-Time with Kate, Boom & Cute Little Pumpkins!" yes dearies... above: Fall Decor: Revealed! yes, i know - just call me Martha... Step 1: peruse Tom Thumb produce section; Step 2: fork over $4.59; Step 3: scatter pun'kins about. done and done.
onward with the recap!
Friday: lazy-wine-night watching The Bucket List - which makes me happy just because (a) Evs DVR'd it specifically for us to watch together and he's never in the mood to watch a full movie at home, and (b) Jack Nicholson totally reminds me of my dad which is always a good thing (unless i'm 11 and watched The Shining without permission and wouldn't let my dad kiss me goodnight for like 2 weeks for fear he would yell "Heeeeeeeere's Johnny!" and try to axe my head off... true story).
Saturday: road-trip to The Wack for the Baylor game... tailgating = fun! game = let's not speak of it. BUT there was Cathay House! and Mama J & Daddy Jim's house! and Boomer crapping and vomiting due to her nervous stomach! hmmmm, maybe not that last one...
Sunday: scoured the Cottage, Cinderella-style. then managed to purchase $350 worth of Pottery Barn framer's gallery frames for $32... thank gawd for gift certificates! The Gallery /slash/ several-mini-galleries is /slash/ are officially underway!
Operation Gallery Display: featuring Lacquer Wood Gallery Frames (in black) and Wood Gallery Frames (in black and espresso stain). hitting up Michael's later this week for some custom-cut mats and larger frames. since we don't have a staircase or a hall deep enough to appreciate a photo gallery, i decided on a mini-gallery in our living room (below), another mini-gallery in our bedroom, and then a large shelf display over our couch (these on order / to look like this).
{thoughts on the mini-gallery?}
and one of my new favorite editions - in our kitchen:
and to round out Sunday: The September Issue + La Duni with two of my Dallas favorites! which brings us full circle... Glee, pinot noir, and a cuddly terrier-face! even though tomorrow's Monday, you have to love a Sunday!








Nice work... we have yet to print a single wedding photo. Although since I got married two months after you, that means I have two more months to fill my frames in wait, right? Good.
ReplyDeleteWe started and failed our gallery wall last weekend. At this point, I feel like our wedding is ancient history and can't even be on the gallery wall.
ReplyDeleteLOVE mini-galleries. I am trying to collect enough pictures to do one myself!
ReplyDeleteI [heart] the mini galleries.
ReplyDeleteLove that you did not pick the orange pumpkins. Very you!
ReplyDeleteFirst - love the peacock pillow from PB...I sadly missed out on this pillow because I waited too long. Second - your gallery pics are beautiful! Third - how was the September issue?
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing the finished product. So far so good!
ReplyDeleteAnd I've also put up a festive display-- now all you need is a festive accessory for The Boom!
I think the mini-gallery looks great! I love all of your wedding pictures.
ReplyDeletei am DYING...DYYYING to buy 100 pumpkins immediately if not sooner.
