Osage and Steel Grey... :)

I often think about all the wonderful things out there in blog land. I mean, you can find a blog on just about everything! I could spend hours checking my favs and longer looking at their favs! It's seriously addicting. But let me tell you, the things you learn!! Take last week for instance,I was reading this blog (scroll down till you get to Thurs. Oct. 14) and she was talking about these crazy looking balls. The osage orange.
As I took a closer look I couldn't believe it. Every morning when I walk to my local coffee shop with Wallace I would pass these laying all over the ground. JACKPOT!!
So last Friday I took a bag with me and brought home the loot! Aren't they the CUTEST?? I love them, and keep putting them all over the house :)

The blog had a lot of information on them, numero uno- they aren't edible. But who cares right?? They're GORG!! :)

Oh and another happy I learned about this week: this fantastic nail polish. It's the best grey color ever! I read about it here. (again, scroll down to Oct. 14 post) Thanks Ashlyn!

But trust me, it will quickly become your fav :)

Rimmel - Steel Grey. I found mine at Target :)

  1. I don't know if you read about the polish on my blog or on another blog....but, I'm glad you like the color too! It's the perfect grey!

    I love all the pictures of your house, and can't wait to see more.

  3. Dorie,

    You are so sweet....you didn't have to worry about putting it your post...I was just happy someone saw the polish and liked it too. It is great to know that someone is actually looking at the blog once and awhile:)!!

  5. I need to know where your favorite coffee shop is, because I love the way that orange looks on the milk glass urn. I have three of those and they would be perfect!

  9. I can't believe we actually have these in Arizona--I was sure I'd only ever seen them in the Midwest!! But do we not call them 'horse apples'? That's how I learned it. Going to have to go and scoop some up now......... :)
