the wild, wild west

Since moving to Colorado, I have slowly developed a MILD obsession with antlers, horns, skulls and other naturally found objects. I have to admit, I am not a big fan of hunting, so I prefer the faux type, or the ones obtained from animals who died of natural causes (haha). And I'm a farm girl, so I understand it all, I don't oppose any of it, just not for me personally. Still looking for the perfect "thing" for my house though...like a cool bull skull for the outside entrance of our home, or a really cool faux deer head for above the office door. I do have some antlers on my ottoman tray which I love! Let me know if you have seen anything super cool!

Breckenridge, Colorado

We just got back from a quick trip to gorgeous Colorado. It's a little brown this time of year, but still full of beautiful scenery. Colorado is a state that really values their locally owned shops & I love that! Especially in a time where big box stores seem to be taking over. If only I could afford to open up a second location, I might choose one of these great spots. Boulder deserves a huge mention...their downtown consists of around 80% locally owned shops and restaurants. Bravo Boulder! And Breckenridge's main street shops were mostly located in old historical Victorian homes. Colorado you rock!
