Welcome to the weekend view. This and that and all things random from the week.
Sitting on the Dock
We were off on a little adventure to do some scouting for some upcoming photography projects- and we took a break at Donner Lake for a bit to soak up the sunshine and enjoy a little quiet. The view is so lovely and it was nice to sit on the dock and ponder and daydream a bit.

I ordered a whole bunch of monkey toys for Juju last week- and this one was the big winner. Ear to ear grins and giggles. She is such a doll- and that little grin gets me every.time.
Holiday Village
I am working on a project that involves a holiday village. And it has me alll inspired over here. Here is a sneak peek- the rest is coming your way next week.
Kevin & The Pea
The creatures have been a bit crazy this week. Kevin decided that sitting in a wicker chair in the sun was the best thing.
And little Sweet Pea rubbed her head on the pillows into a big old mess of fur- I walked in the room and saw her looking at me like this and had to snap a photo. And- yes time for a trim.
Vintage Score
A stop at the thrift store to search for a few vintage ornaments- yielded 2 grocery sacks full of ornaments and a vintage green wicker desk that I didn’t need. Isn’t that how it always is? haha. I fell for the texture and layers of vintage paint. Not exactly sure just where it is going yet- but I have a couple ideas.
French Cottage Linens
We are almost sold out of the slipcovers and tablecloths. So happy to know that you love them- and am excited for the rest of the new collection to get here. If you missed the post about the new linens you can read more HERE and grab your favorites in the shop HERE

Love these ideas for Christmas Eve
I’m obsessed with carrots at the moment- and this oven roasted carrots recipe looks so good.
See you tomorrow for the 2nd Tree in the 12 Trees of Christmas this year. Happy Saturday all.

Hi Courtney,
Your decorations are beautiful. I always look forward to your next post. Your granddaughter is beautiful. She must bring so much joy to you. I also love when you post pictures of Kevin. He is so sweet and funny. What kind of chickens do you have? They are adorable. I have never seen this type of chicken before. Hope you and your family have a wonderful thanksgiving.

Hi Jan!
Thank you!! She is such a treasure- and Kevin is Hilarious. haha. That is actually a snap of him that I took from a video of him scratching on the chair- I will put it up on instagram sometime. 🙂 We have Silkie Chickens- they are the sweetest chickens and we just love them! Wishing you and your family a wonderful Thanksgiving too Jan!

Juju is so adorable! And those two critters must keep you laughing!
Still loving those vintage ornaments, and that wicker deck is a great find.
Gotta go look at the second tree in 12 days, so excited to get inspired by your creativity.

Just love your photography. we have a small farm too with cows, pigs and chickens. just love having them around. they always make me laugh. and sweet pea is exactly as her name states. i kinda think that she liked being on the wild side, if not just for a moment. you can tell just by the smile on her face. 😉
