"Makes Me Smile" Monday

To help me get into the holiday spirit a bit more -- I have to remind myself it's only a week away ! -- I thought I'd share a few pictures of my favorite haunt:

I so wanted to capture this corner of the store better, with all of its beautiful grapevine trees and amazing birdhouses . . . it's harder than I thought to take pictures and be quiet and sneaky at the same time . . . !

Some lingering harvest decorations . . . .

Truly one of my favorite places to be ! I received the ultimate compliment from a co-worker when she first saw our home: she said the coziness of our house reminded her of this place. No wonder I'm drawn to it . . . !!!

Here's to happy haunting of your favorite places !!!

Care to share your haunts ?!?!!!
