I saw two pairs of short, slouchy boots at Target yesterday.  One grey pair, one plaid pair.  I was melting in the ninety something degree weather, but I was soooo happy when I saw those boots.  They were whispering a little secret to me: "Fall is finally on its way..."

I always have and always will be a Fall lover.  I love the cute layered clothes, the cooler weather, the excitement of a new year of school, the plans that need to be made, the promise of the holiday season... it's all so deliciously busy and important and exciting.

And frankly, I pretty much despise hot weather.  It makes me cranky and unproductive, and I am one of the few people in the world that is happy to see summer go.  I realize that this opinion makes me remarkably unpopular, and maybe even a little crazy.

Anyway, I've created a few fall inspired things for the shop...

The "Rory's Keys" series of broaches is inspired by the studious and stylish Rory Gilmore from the tv show Gilmore Girls. Decorated with swarovski crystals, these vintage keys vary in size, color, and shape. No two are alike in appearance or character.  We've got husband hunters, sorority girls, reporters, and small town girls all playing in the mix here.  The one thing they do all have in common?  They are all for smart, stylish girls who always feel a little bit different from the rest of the crowd.

We also have a charming collection of back to school supplies for those gals luck enough to still be students.  These binders are made from recycled products and adorned with doilies, flowers, buttons, beads, and hand stitching.  The dividers are embossed and include customized subject  titling.  Both the binder and divider leave plenty of room for doodles and daydreams.

Which season is your favorite?
