Autumn is Arriving!

College has been great & I'm psyched to see that fall just around the corner! We've already done some autumn activities like....
APPLE PICKING!!

It was SO much fun. I enjoy living in this area known as 'Johnny Appleseed Country'! The orchard was huge and we all filled up BIG bags with apple for only $5!


The apples were PERFECT...and delicious! :)


...And we didn't have to look hard to find some!! There were so many!
& I'll end this post with a goofy pic of Meaghan and her silly face. :)
(You can click it & zoom in to see her natural beauty :D)



Happy Fall! :)

Sunday Seven!

This week's Sunday Seven is from Mod Cloth! It was difficult for  me to just pick 7! I LOVE their stuff!
These socks are beautiful!

What is with my fascination with umbrellas? This is so adorable & I would SO rock this on my college campus. :)

This is such a cute way to organize your keys! & You get to take the birdie with you! :)


This necklace is amazing!! Not only is it a retro phone, but it has a working clock inside of it!! (Another one of my strange obsessions, clocks in jewelry)



Soooo cute! I love the retro colors!



Pocket Watches! :) I NEED this scarf!


This umbrella is gorgeous. It's perfect for a sunny day with my camera :)

Vacation & Blog Contest!

Shelburne Museum was AMAZING. I took so many beautiful photographs & only wish I could have stayed longer, but I was holding up the rest of my family by stopping to photograph everything :)
Although I took hundreds of photos, it would be insane to show them ALL to you, so here are my select favorites:
The BEAUTIFUL Shelburne Museum :)



This lighthouse is also a museum as well as every building on the property.


One of the museums had old-barber shop exhibit. Sweeney Todd would've gone nuts!

The Dutten House (according to GhostHunters) is supposedly haunted....


...Yet the only thing I found was this drool-worthy dining room!

I took this to show not only the gorgeous paint colors, but the hanging golden tooth in the next gallery. :)


They had a pond! (That I took tons of photos of)


A Beautiful Boat! It felt like we were on the Titanic...before it sank, of course.


Look at the inside!! Marvelous! :) & VERY similar to the Titanic right?


AND MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE!
The 50s HOUSE!
This whole house is decorated & furnished just like a home straight from...you guessed it...the 50s!
The best part is, its not a museum! You can sit on the couch, look through the drawers in the kids room, search the kitchen cabinets, literally every drawer & closet is filled like it was a lived in 50s home!
This is a dreamy kitchen, is it not? :)


They had a sewing room! With an authentic 50s Singer Sewing Machine!


How adorable is this? They even stocked the fridge with vintage bottles! :)


*Whew* That was quite a lot of photos! 


We also visited the Vermont Teddy Bear Factory. Sooo much fun! Highly recommend if you visit VT, to go! 

SO about this contest...

The Dainty Squid is having an AMAZING contest where you could win something from Ark's Endeavors. (They sell awesome jewelry & plugs on etsy!) All you have to do, is tell Kaylah what your favorite item for sale is, and *ding* you're entered! 
Good Luck!
