Friday Finds, Elevated Style: Autumn in the Mountains

West Virginia MountainsI am officially on vacation! I can barely contain my excitement - are my toes still touching the ground? *fans a cloud away from head*

Justin and I are heading to his aunt's cabin in West Virginia this weekend. Considering that Delaware is mostly flat and lies on a coastal plain, the sight of mountains always astonishes me. They're so immense and stunningly beautiful. And I get to reside on one for an entire week! The photograph to the right was taken on our last visit, a week shy of two years ago.

October is such a lovely time to revel in the changing landscape, as leaves blend from green to yellow, orange and red. We can drive for miles and be surrounded by trees instead of corn fields, nature-made wonders instead of man-made.

But that experience is still hours away, so today I took a stroll through the handmade mountains of Etsy. Autumn is breathtaking, isn't it?

    Oh, so pretty...

    I love the warm blending of the natural autumn palette, but those more striking reds are delightful. I think I feel a new love-affair coming on as far as color goes...
