Headed to the mountains...

We're headed up to my parent's cabin in the mountains for a few days. We are in need of a little break from reality and I am on a mission, well several missions really. I must start finalizing wedding plans (we still don't have a d.j. and we are almost three months away from the big day!), I am also hoping to find some amazing furniture for the new house. There are lots of antique shops near the cabin and we are also taking a detour to Savannah along the way so I hope to fill the truck up with lots of goodies. 

I also get to bring home an antique dresser I bought while I was there over Christmas, it had to stay behind since at the time, we were living in NYC and we couldn't cram one more thing into that apartment.  Other than that, it's just some much needed rest and relaxation.  We've been homeowners for exactly one month and it's already taking it's toll on us so it will be nice to get away from the stresses and responsibilities for a while!

My next vacation...

Blackberry Farm is a 4200 acre real working farm and hotel located in the Great Smoky Mountains of East Tennessee. I'm already planning a trip here, it looks amazing!

Happy New Year!

Happy new year everyone!! I've been back from Florida for a few days but then we had friends in town this weekend so I haven't had a chance to blog. My vacation was great, totally relaxing and just what I needed! I did a ton of shopping and relaxing, I even got to lay out in the sun! I finished reading A Tree Grows in Brooklyn Such a great book, I have been perusing Amazon to check out other books by the author because I love the way this book was written. I'm being lazy today, there are a million things to do and the only thing I want to do is sit on the couch and watch episodes of Felicity (I have the shows on DVD!) I have a little bit of the post-holiday blahs! I am missing my family and wishing I had just a couple more days off of work. I am hoping by the weekend I will have my motivation back but now I feel like I may be coming down with the flu...I am breaking out the Airborn right now! I hope everyone enjoyed their holiday celebrations! Here's to a great year!

Vacation is here...Finally!

Wow, I can't believe Wednesday is here and I leave for my vacation in Newport, Rhode Island in a couple of hours. I have been so busy these past couple of days, a huge custom order came in and I had three other orders to get out. In my scurry to get it all done I ended up messing up two orders resulting in a second trip to the post office! But finally, everything is done and I can leave feeling assured that everything is taken care of. I am so excited for my trip. Tomorrow we are having dinner at the hotel. They offer a Thanksgiving buffet that looks amazing. Then we have afternoon tea on Friday and massage appointments on Saturday. It is going to be 4 days of bliss! I hate leaving Kopah during this time because it has been so busy but I am hoping that people will be busy with the holiday and not have the urge to shop on Etsy! I also feel like I have been neglecting my blog lately but once I return from vacation I plan to kick it into high gear and work on my blog and my shop as I have lots of great products to list and lots of great gift sets I am working on for the holidays. I am very excited to start working on all the new projects I have in mind. This vacation will be just the creative break I need! I promise to take lots of pictures to share. Happy Turkey Day everyone!!!! May you all be blessed with lots of family memories, good times, and full bellies!
