Beauty and Peace at The Morton Arboretum

One of my newest favorite places is the Morton Arboretum in Lisle.  A place that we visited on field trips as a child but I had never been back to until recently.  It is about 45 minutes east of DeKalb but so worth the drive!  

 I purchased a yearly pass for the hubby and I.  50 dollars per person which is a deal if you plan on going daily, weekly, or even monthly because a single day's entry fee is $12.  We've been going weekly and have already saved money by having the membership card. 

 The Arboretum is so large that it will likely take us years to see it all.  But we've been having fun picking different spots to explore each time we go. 

Things were pretty frosty Friday morning but the sun was shining and there was some great Fall color still to be seen.

 If I remember correctly, this is a Miyabe Maple.  Isn't she pretty?

 Even the Arboretum carts look pretty with their red color against the brilliant yellow.

Happy November!

chasing squirrels and making merry

 That's what I've been up to lately.  Trying to take in brief moments of sun and Fall color when possible as a little break from the hectic 4 weeks of getting the shop all gussied up for the holidays.  Not much sun or Fall color this season but when it does show up it's fabulous.

all decked out

 The moxie elves have been working overtime to deck out the shop in merriness!!  

 When they finally throw themselves into their tiny beds at night they are covered in glitter.

Ruffled trees, tiny glass ornaments, sweet pixie faces ... oh my!

Getting All Spiffed Up For the Holiday Season

 We've been very busy getting the shop all ready for the Holiday season!  It is chock full of fun finds and tons of new vintage things.  We've just brought in over 40 fabulous vintage hats and about 20 great old purses.  We hope to have some dresses from the 50s out on the floor in the next week or two as well.  

The shop is all decked out in its glittery Holiday cuteness and we will post pictures of that any day now.  Check back to see what we've been busy doing!

p.s.  join us over on Facebook where we've been doing a weekly giveaway contest and showing pictures daily.  www.facebook.com/moxie.dekalb
