I'm skipping my usual Friday Favorites to talk about the homecrest chair.  I have had a major crush on this thing for a while now, and craigslist has once again come to my aid.  On our way home from Michigan, Red kindly made a stop in Chicago to make my chair dreams come true.  We have been married for seven years now, and I'm still surprised by how nice he is to me.  I'm not sure I would be so nice.....we had an unhappy one year old in the back seat, forgot about the time change and had to wait a good forty minutes, and then to top it off he had to tie it on the roof of our car in the middle of downtown Chicago.  It didn't go to waste though, because I love this chair, and I'm especially loving that our version came with an ottoman.

Here it is in Elise of Pennyweight's home via Design Sponge.

And again in Victoria of sfgirlbybay's home.....which coincidently looks similar to mine (probably the other way around) with the rug/homecrest chair combination.

Ingredients:

-mixed berries

-mascarpone cheese

-chopped walnuts

-flavored honey ( I used a blackberry honey from our local creamery)

Dream....that's the thing to do......   

I've been humming that song the entire time putting this post together.  Catchy.  It so happens that along with my usual love for the color, I have been especially drawn to this indigo shade lately.  Cool tones in general have a calming effect on me, and indigo is proving to be no exception.

You may have noticed I have been a bit absent here....I have had a good friend in town and I always like to take a break from the blog for the people in my life.  It has been a wonderful week, filled with exploring and Fall activities and late night chats.  I'll be back in full swing next week, until then here are my Friday links:
