Urban Grace Interiors {the blog} bio picture

Welcome to my blog!

My name is Erika and this is my blog.  You might have come here from my old blog- if so please update your feed or bookmark the new site... I promise it'll be much better than the old blog.  If you are new around here welcome!  I'm so glad you are here.  A little background on me: I am a new mom to a precious little girl, a designer, a wife, and the mother of two rescued dogs (Penelope & Paisley).  I am passionate about design, and I also enjoy gardening, good pens, art, photography, antiques, traveling, and rescued animals. 

If you are curious about my design business, Urban Grace Interiors, you can click that link above titled "Portfolio" that will take you to official website.  This blog is just my daily ramblings... some of which are design related, and some of which are not.  I hope you like what you find here... I aim to inspire.

My sister requested some festive fall fotos be presented here… so I complied.  I rounded these up over the weekend and hope they put you in the spirit!  It's about 80 degrees in Florida and a cold snap would be much appreciated… I'm hosting a party later this month and can't wait to implement some of these ideas!  I hope they inspire you!!

Images above from: Martha, Cottage, BHG, Allrecipes.com, Pattiewack, Flickr, DominoCountry Home, and the best of these images (in my opinion) came from Country Living!  I've saved them (most of them) as their source, so mouse-over or right click save to see where they came from!

And a PS about the afore mentioned Batter Blaster, it was not a joke, the pancakes are out of this world!  (and I usually eat this kind, so I'd consider myself a reputable connaisseur of pancakes).  My cousin (who vouched for me that indeed they are delicious) bought a 3-pack at Costco and yes, their site says it's available at Whole Foods.

I love them all... my favs: THE acorn & leaf cookies & the woman in the striped shirt with the orange apron... not what she's doing {although that's cute too} but I prefer what she's wearing... it's so festive! :) Ok, I thought I was done decorating... looks like I have a few more things I just HAVE to do!! :) Love you! Thanks for all the inspiration!!
