New Christmas items from Neiman Marcus. Great use of metallics and it's interesting to see how they've incorporated paisley.

Unusual looking store right here in Ohio. Located in Greenville, northwest of Dayton.
Lots of unusual ribbon, trim, paper products, etc.
Check out their website here or better yet stop for a visit next time you're in Greenville!

Beautiful prints made from 50% cotten fiber and 30% post consumer waste. The paper is also made using 100% wind energy. Check out the Etsy site.

It is beginning to look like Christmas

It looks like it is time to go to the fair. This fair got a mention in the October issue of Country Living. It is open on 2 weekends in October 11-12, & 18-19.

It is the 14th year for the old fashion Christmas in the woods festival which features 200 vendors.

Sounds like a lot of fun.
