This weekend was a great dose of fall for me. I went home for a bit and made this beef stew from Cooking Light on Sunday afternoon. I have made this before and it is a great recipe. It is easy to make, just takes a bit of time – the longer you let the meat slow cook over the stove the better it is!
Rumpus Room
Happy Friday! I can’t wait for the weekend and it is almost here. Last night I had a fun little girls night to help me get through one more work day. My friend Julie surprised me with tickets to a wine and appetizer event at the Public Museum downtown to celebrate the opening of the new Cleopatra exhibit. Then we headed over to the new Bartollata restaurant, Rumpus Room, in Milwaukee to check it out. The atmosphere was so cozy and fun. We had a cheese plate and some appetizers and everything was very delicious. I will have to go back again soon to check out the entree menu.
Waiting patiently
Happy Thursday! It seems like weeks lately have just been flying by! This week I have been waiting patiently for this Pearl Chunky necklace I found on BaubleBar recently. I can’t wait to mix it with so many things – it will certainly jazz up any outfit. I feel like pearls in general go with anything – so I can’t wait to layer this into my wardrobe. I might have to purchase the skirt and top below too.

Wallpaper Wednesday – Delux
This week for Wallpaper Wednesday lets take a trip across the pond to visit Delux from the UK. I stumbled upon this small collection of wallpaper while flipping thru some articles on House and Home UK. I love the way they were able to take traditional damask and florals and make them updated and relevant to today.
Horchow Place Setting
Thanksgiving is just around the corner and it starts me thinking of one of my favorite pastimes – setting a table. For holidays (or lets be honest a random Saturday) my sisters and I love setting the table. We often fight over how it will be done to make the most beautiful gathering. Leading up to Thanksgiving I will highlight some fun unconventional ways to set your table this holiday season. I love print mixing and I fell in love with this Horchow set I found recently found.
