Ready for Fall!

I am ready for FALL! I want to see orange leaves and pumpkins! I want to go apple picking at our local farm. I need to change out my pots to big mums! I cannot wait to wear boots, and a cozy jacket.. maybe even a cool hat! Here are a few things that make me excited for fall. Are you ready?
Have a great weekend!

The Urban Cottage!

Michelle McGonegal is a Gladstone, NJ, resident with a shop just one mile from her home.  Her 10-year-old son, Liam, can even ride his bicycle to Urban Cottage Goods  to visit his mom after school.  A gifted painter and graphic artist, McGonegal views old furniture as art, and has a lifetime love for scouting estate sales to satisfy her appreciation for vintage treasures.    After years of collecting vintage pieces from all over Pennsylvania and upstate New York, McGonegal began taking appointments in her home and held a few open houses for friends and the community to show off her vintage furniture finds.  The positive feedback inspired her to rent her current space in Gladstone and open the Urban Cottage shop.-Courtesy of-Roxy Best of.


I just love Michelle's style, she has vintage pieces mixed with industrial chic! Not to mention great casual clothing, wonderful jewelry and home goods ! The perfect one stop shopping, and great for that unique gift for that special someone who seems to have everything.  
The town of Gladstone is quaint and adorable, and if your hungry for a bite to eat Coco Luxe is right next door to The Urban Cottage, where you are instantly transported to a small french bistro with pastries to rival bakeries of NYC. If you want some libations with your lunch the beautiful Gladstone Tavern is also within walking distance from Urban Cottage and the train station. Yes, there is also a train that comes right into Gladstone from New York, so come on out for a nice afternoon in the Jersey countryside with great shopping!

The Blues....

It is a dreary, rainy day in NJ! I am staring at my soon to be finished dining room and a bare spot on the wall that is calling out for a painting. I am feeling blues. I have Suzanne Tucker -Maharani blue fabric for window treatments.  I also love blue and white pottery and have started a collection, which makes me so thrilled that Chinoiserie Chic and The Pink Pagoda are doing a blue and white giveaway! However, besides that event I am drawn to everything blue today for some reason! I think I want to see blue in whatever painting I hang there. I cannot wait for it to finally be completed, and will share when done! So for now I will go back to obsessing about BLUE, I think I will blame it on the weather.  Here are a few wonderful blue inspired Pinterest favorites of mine, enjoy!
