Hello everyone!

I hope you are all having a great week.

I have a number of things to share with you in this post....

So be prepared it is very random....

I used a picture of dried lavender to try and break up each topic....

First off...

I received this french mustard jar in the mail last week from a good friend....

It was the inspiration behind my mantle redo.

I just love this sweet little jar!

I will have more pictures of my mantle on my blog next week, along with some other fall decorating pictures.

Speaking of Tracey I wanted to inform you about a book and a magazine that I bought from 

Tracey's online shop....

French Larkspur.com

The book is called Lev Vackert.

It was written by Ingela Brolings and Petra Eriksson.

Both girls have beautiful blogs....

Ingela is the author of the blog Inspiration I Vitt, and Petra is the author of the blog Ramantiskahem.

It is really a beautiful book.

It is almost 200 pages long, and is filled with so many decorating ideas. 

My friend Aina, from Modern Country, is featured in the book as well.

Congratulations Aina, your home is beautiful!

The book can be purchased in the U.S. at French Larkspur.com

The magazine I bought from Tracey is called Jeanne D' Arc Living.

I only discovered this magazine last spring.

I have been hooked ever since.

This fall issue I think is my favorite issue.

It is filled with beautiful fall decorating ideas.

To make images larger... double click on the pictures.

Susanne from the blog Me and Alice is featured in this issue.

She has the most beautiful home.

The magazine can be found at French Larkspur.com

On another note...

I wanted to congratulate Stanna....

On a final note...
