Halloween decor {changing up my photo wall}

I did a post awhile ago on styling shelves and in it I featured my photo wall in my home. 

I decided for Halloween it would be fun to change up the photos in this wall to represent this holiday.  I mean, really, what do we ever really do with the hundreds of photos we all take of our kids at the pumpkin patch??  Well, why not print them out each holiday and feature them in your existing frames?  That is exactly what I decided to do today.

I used a few free printables that I found through Pinterest.  The "If The Broom Fits Ride It" print is from Crafts & Sutch. The "Happy Halloween" with the crow is from Visual Eye Candy.
I created the "boo boo boo" and you can feel free to save it as an image and print it any size you'd like.

I also created the black pumpkin on the gold canvas and the abstract art in the top right corner...that tutorial will come in a later post, it's crazy easy! 

So...have your started decorating and are you having as much fun as me?? 

Toys galore {Dwell Studio}

The holidays are quickly approaching and with the season comes lots and lots of toys.  I don't know about you, but I just can't handle all of the obnoxious, brightly colored plastic that usually comes into our home.  I'm not opposed to it in the sense that I forbid it, but aesthetically I just can't stand looking at it all.  And I just don't have enough closet space to tuck it away...

I have to say I just love the toys that I am seeing from many companies out there who are really putting together the idea of play and the idea of design.  Dwell Studio has some of the cutest things right now.

I'm loving this set of blocks.

And for the bigger kids, I think this Skyline Multi Creative Play Set is so cute and such a fun imaginative toy.

And this 100 Plank Wood Block Set is just adorable...I may have to grab this one.

So where are you finding other really great toys these days?  I would love to hear...
