Vintage peacock lamp
Why oh why am I attracted to things I have no space for? I don't know why this vintage peacock lamp is so appealing, but darn it—I love it! It's only $18 in FuzzyStar's Etsy shop.
Decoupage pumpkins
I don't think I have ever purchased a copy of Country Living, but then it happened—the cover had such a great idea that I bought a copy. Decoupage pumpkins. Brilliant! I adore Halloween like nobody's business and this is such a unique twist on the whole black & orange thing. Creative staff and contributors of Country Living—you have my respect.
