Nine Days and Counting

I am so excited for The Galleries Holiday Open House. I can hardly contain myself. After yesterday's post I think I will continue with the count down motif, just a little thought or sample each day.
Today I would like to talk about digital printing onto canvas. A few months ago I convinced my little family that we needed new professional family photographs taken. We were able to find a photographer who gave us the copyright release so that we could print as many pictures as we wanted, and although I have printed a few of these pictures, I want something that is truly spectacular.
During The Galleries Holiday Open House you will receive 20% off of all digital printing onto canvas. I can safely say that I will be among the first in line to take advantage of this very generous offer.

Special Treat!

I would like to take a little detour from favorites. I am far from finished with that topic, but today I would like to give you a little taste of what is in store for the Holiday Open House(November  4 & 5). I am sure that those on the mailing list have started receiving their invitations.
Everyone has been working together and doing their best. There is an excitement in the air that I can't even describe.

 This is a sneak peek. I know I am cruel. Check the blog for more goodies. The count down is officially on. Ten Days until The Galleries Holiday Open House!

Sherry's Favorites

Lampe Berger
These lamps are more than just beautiful to look at. They have the power to transform your home. They will clean freshen and fragrance the air you breath.

 
                                                  These are some our favorite fragrances.
                                                      Sherry loves all of the Parisian items.
This couch is just adorable. It is Sherry's most favorite item. She talks about wanting to put in in her master bedroom. I think it looks like the perfect spot to curl up with a blanket, and a book for an upcoming winter storm. I also love this color.

My Top Three

I will admit this was a much more difficult task than I thought it would be. Trying to pick my top three items was not easy. The other problem I encountered was knowing that once people see these items they will buy them, and I won't be able to day dream about then anymore. But here we go...
 I love this piece of furniture. In fact I am crazy about it. I love the color. I love the texture. Whenever I see it I am compelled to touch it. Even the feel of the wood beneath I fingers brings a smile to my face.
 Everything that Raelynn designs is beautiful. This is my favorite Fall floral. It is breath taking! I could look at it for hours. I can picture it in my house on the sideboard in my kitchen. Gorgeous!
I adore the jewelry, and hair accessories. These are some of the new bows. They are handmade, and just darling. My little girl has one in every color.

I do have one item that is my absolute favorite, but I am saving it for later. It is the top item for many people at The Galleries.
Stop by The Galleries today, and pick your top three. let us know what they are, and your favorites may be featured on the blog.

Favorite Things

I live for Autumn weather, cooler and sometime erratic. It reminds me of me. I adore these down right chilly nights when I can wrap up in a soft warm blanket, enjoying a cup of hot cocoa, singing to myself, and anyone else who might be fortunate enough to hear me. The song, "My Favorite Things" from The Sound of Music has been running through my head. Rain drops on roses, and whiskers on kittens are great, but let me show you a few of my favorite things.
Breathtaking fall floral custom design,
Reclaimed barn wood bench colors intertwine,
Wall art of Venice and Paris, and such.
These are the things that I love very much. 
Clocks with a hiding place for my car keys,
Digital printing on canvas please,
Big rolling wire baskets, just the right touch,
These are the things that I love very much.
When it's cold out, when it's windy, when I'm feeling sad,
I think about shopping  at The Galleries,
and then I don't feel so bad.


This month the blog will be all about favorites. We will be posting pictures of all of our favorites things. Be sure to check the blog regularly. You just might find some new favorite things. We would also love to hear about your favorites. Comment on the blog. Tell us about your favorite items from The Galleries, the ones that are in your homes, that you are in love with. You could even post pictures on facebook if you are feeling inspired. Make sure to tag The Galleries Vernal.

Time to Think Pink

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. As a reminder of the fight against breast cancer the blog will be pink for the month. Most people know someone who has fought against breast cancer. Post a  tribute to these people just the title and first name will do the trick. Feel free to share your stories. Think of those you love, those who have been lost, and anyone who has been effected by breast cancer. Please take five minutes to give yourself a self breast exam each month, and if you are 35 or older(30 if you have a family history of breast cancer) schedule a mammogram this month. Remind your grandmothers, mothers, aunts, sisters, and friends to do the same. Early detection is very important. Please take care of yourselves, and those you love.

Question of the Month

Thank you to everyone who submitted a question this month. Even though we could only choose one I assure you that every one's voice was heard, and that we will do our best to answer each and every question.
The question we selected was just perfect for this time of year, and something that we feel many people struggle with.
Kristen Baumgarten asked:  I struggle with Halloween decorations because I try to find more fall ones that I can keep out for longer. What do you suggest I do to pay homage to the kids' favorite holiday?

Kristen, This is one of my personal struggles too. I want my house to feel warm and cozy in the Fall months. I want it to feel inviting, and comfortable, and I sometime feel like the eight foot inflatable witch, or zombie crawling out of the flower bed, even the shrieking candy dish with the severed hand might detract from that feel. Maybe that is just me. That being said, I also like my home to feel care free, and fun not just for the kids, but for everyone that enters my house. Halloween is mostly for the kids... I guess I am just that, a very big kid. Here are a few things I do to appease my daughter, and both sides of my somewhat split personality.
1. Pumpkins for Fall Jack-O-Lanterns for Halloween. The more you have the better in my opinion. I love real ones, or ones that look very real, and can be used year after year. I love all different shapes and sizes. Keep some plain for you or even better add in some black and white, and even gray ones. Carve some right around Halloween, and enjoy the rest through Thanksgiving.
2. Keep it Simple. A few tasteful decorations can go a long way. Each year I pick one or two Halloween items I truly love. Things that I feel are both fun and timeless. Things that my child enjoys, and things that bring out the child in me.
3. In October Halloween is King. I refuse to put up even one Halloween decoration before October first, and they are gone again November first. I love to be a kid for a month. I love to have my little one get excited about something that is very important to her. I love to have her help me decorate the house, so bring on October. Bring on the fun. Host a Halloween party, complete with creepy foods. Dress up your kids, and dress up yourself. Be one of the kids again.
