I love fall

Hello lovely people of the Interwebs,

I made these two little journals ages ago and uncovered them after the move.  Thought I'd start working in the little one I made out of an Anthropologie catalog.  It might make me create pages in a different way since the paper is so thin and the format is so small.  Could be fun...

I am not an adherent of that mixed-up-body-parts Frankenstein-style collage technique, but this torso was just calling out for an ill-fitting bust on the facing page, so I had to oblige.

Did I mention how much I love Fall?  It's the best season of the year in DC, weather-wise.  We went apple picking!  I mean...pickin'!

On the home front, I managed to re-upholster the seat of this dining chair all by myself.  It's leathery pleather.  Fabric would have been easier but I like to keep it challenging.  Who wants to go easy on themselves when trying something for the first time?  Not me!  Seriously, I'm having a really hard time figuring out how to do the back piece.  It's been taunting me.
I did it!

Enjoy your weekend, pretties!

  2. Thanks Emily! The chair is vintage Danish--probably from Scan Furniture, but not sure. I bought it (as a part of a whole dining set) from some good friends who were up-sizing for $50! Yes! definitely let me know if you are in the vicinity (I'll do the same), or even as far as Baltimore! ;) xo K
