Envelopes.

I love this wall of framed envelopes - such a great idea.

I also love a gorgeous lined envelope.

I lined my Rifle Design thank you cards with this super cute red faux bois paper.

And you know I love kelly green polka dots - so fun!

Add some gorgeous stamps.

I love a white pen on dark envelopes!

Time to start thinking about holiday cards - but it always takes me forever to figure out what I want to do each year.  What about you all?

is for Endearing.

 I love this couple in the snow.

It was part of a Birkenstock ad from years ago.  Yes, we are Birkenstock girls!

I love the big red blanket - and the snow of course!  Go for a walk with a loved one!

is for Earflaps.

I love a good hat with Earflaps!

I love to knit and hats with earflaps and pom poms are my favorite to make!  These porcelain hats are super cute!  I wish they were bigger - like the size of a real hat!

There is a candle under that hat!

I think they would make great containers for salt and pepper on the table!

is for Eagles.

I found this old metal eagle at a flea market over the summer for three dollars!  I like it mixed in with this grouping of silhouettes.

Then I saw this beautiful eagle on the front door of this gorgeous house.

Isn't this a beautiful home!  Now I am always noticing eagles on houses around Evanston!  That's what happens when you find something new that you like!

I love this entrance!  The eagle on the front door is over the top in the best way!  Love the yellow door too!

is for Elephants.

We love elephants.

It is hard not to be drawn to them.

There was an amazing documentary on PBS a while back called Unforgettable Elephants that was so mesmerizing. Photographer Martyn Colbeck has been following the same group of elephants for two decades, led by the matriarch, Echo. They travel together as a family of fifteen all over the Amboseli National Park in Kenya. They are such smart animals and take such good care of one another.

Love the way this elephant is just on the table with all of the dishes.

A table always needs something unexpected like this.

What a great centerpiece!

My mom found this adorable red polka dot elephant at an antique store and gave it to me as a gift. I love it...polka dots and elephants!
