A few weeks ago, my friends and I headed to F. Scott's in Georgetown to live a night in the 1920's at a Great Gatsby inspired event in Washington, DC.
The minute we stepped through the door we entered another era! The 20's styled atmosphere of F.Scotts came alive once the authentic 20's music began to play.
Everyone came dressed to impress – headbands, sequins, and tassels filled the room. It was a truly unforgettable night!
While I love the beauty in the golden color of the gingkos and the crunching of the cranberry and sienna tinted maple leaves under my boots on the Georgetown cobblestone sidewalks, I just can't bring myself to like the cooler temperatures that came along with the start of October. It happens every year, Summer just slips away too fast and the holiday rush is here at Haute Papier!
While I haven't made this Make-it Monday project yet, I can't wait to find a snuggly fabric to adorn in little pom poms to cut the chill in the air! I found it on one of my favorite blog, the purl bee. You can find the full directions here and next time you're in NYC, be sure to stop by their store in SoHo for some amazing fabrics and yarns!

Greetings from Breckenridge! I'm here on a little get-away at our friend's beautiful home before the holiday rush begins at Haute Papier! Yesterday we went for a great hike and then visited the Summer Fun Park at the bottom of the gondola where we panned for gems. Yes, panned for gems with all of the kids. I did ask and we weren't the first adults to take part! Once we saw the gorgeous pieces of granite and quartz that the youngings were uncovering, I couldn't resist the urge to make a necklace from them.
The process was simple. I purchased some silk cording, thin gold wire and a bead to act as a fastener at the end of the necklace at the bead store in town and then went to town on wrapping our findings. I left a loop at the top of the stone to tread it onto the silk and tied little knots at the end so I could adjust the length of the necklace. Isn't it pretty?
I was so excited to get a copy of the British publication, Mollie Makes in the mail yesterday featuring the rustic mason jar lanterns we made for my parent's 30th Wedding Anniversary party (see more on the party here, here, and here). The magazine, which by the way is currently running a contest where you can win a subscription (here), is fabulous for craft lovers. The tutorials are thorough and the ideas are fresh and inspiring!
