Now that fall is in full swing I have gathered a few fave things to share. As life crazies itself I hope to calm myself with this nice little selection!

1. We just turned our heat on for the first time on Saturday....leaving my tootsies a bit chilled each night as I sit and sew. Soooo (pun intended) I broke out my trusty Sven's slippers. Have you ever checkout out Sven's? If not...you should! If you ever have the chance to see the selection in person you will never look at another leather boot/slipper/clog again! So great!

2. I came across this beauty by chance at Target one afternoon while rushing in for milk. Of course...I had to peruse the aisle end caps but only for a moment...and WHAM! This tea mug shot out at me before I was within 10 feet! Well...actually what caught me first was the clearance tag...and then I realized what it was! It's genius really. It's called the "Aladdin 12 oz. Essential Infuser."

What? You think it's just a mug? Well...read on my dear friends...read on!

Notice anything now?

That little basket will hold either a tea bag or loose leaf...whichever tickles your fancy that day!

Thanks to that little lever below you can lift and lower the basket when your tea is done or in need of a little 'pick me up'!

3. For me, fall means Silver, Pumpkins, and candles!

This beautiful candle was a purchase at my most recent outing with some friends...maybe you know one of them?
It's a handmade soy candle in a cut off wine bottle...best of all...it smells every.so.strongly of cinnamon! A Fall Must have!

4. Yes, these are more pumpkins...but that little one on the bottom is the prize! It's a glittered pumpkin! A craft I did a few years back and handed to friends on festive fall occasions. And now...as my luck would have it...a friend of mine has done them every year since and tends to gift me with one each year! Thanks Kim!

5. And finally...on that same outing I came across these darling octagonal black mirrors...a steal of a price and darling to boot I could not pass them up. But what to put them with? And where?

And just as I had given up finding an additional item an angel told me 'you should do things in 3's!' Ok...so it wasn't an angel...but a grand gal named ChrisAnn for sure, and a fine personal decorator if I may say so!

Alicia is wife, mother, and creator of Baby Elephant Ears. Baby Elephant Ears was created out of parental concern, not financial desire. In 2005, when their second child was an infant, he cried all the time and just couldn't seem to get comfortable.

After seeking advice and suggestion from the medical community and alternative medicine, they eventually ended up in the chiropractors office where their baby was successfully treated for a subluxation, discomfort most likely the result of the strain during labor, which was now being exacerbated by the normal lack of infant neck strength. Only proper neck, head, and back alignment would offer him relief. When they couldn't find a product to give their baby the necessary support, Alicia took matters into her own hands and crafted her own infant support pillow. The first Baby Elephant Ears was born!
