Today is off to a great start. It’s a bit overcast and grey, and it’s almost October, my favorite month!!

September has gone ridiculously fast.

The rest of my weekend ended up nice. My niece stayed with us all weekend since the girls were here. Usually they are with their dad on the weekends so it is nice when we have a chance to all be together.

Violet (my niece) is incredible. We were sitting at the table making puppy chow (diet?? what diet???) and look what she drew for me in about ten minutes.

Did I mention she is only thirteen?? She is an amazing artist and I hope she pursues it.

I also got a chance to photograph a vintage find I have been holding on to for a few weeks.

I adore the owls, and of course want to keep it, but we are in the process of decluttering (as always) and so I am passing it along. I also marked down a few vintage goodies on my Etsy shop. You can go here to see them.

Today a little happy man also turns eight weeks old!! When did that happen? I love that he is actually smiling now and interacting a bit more. Here are a few of todays happy grins.

Well, I can now hear Mr. Happy screaming his head off, so I suppose I better go! When the boss calls, you have to listen…

I hope you all have a happy Monday too.
