The weather has been rather dreary the past few days; overcast and cloudy without the benefit of much rain. After an especially rough week at work, it has matched my mood.

So what is the best remedy? Surrounding myself with pretty things on a dreary day. Shiny Shabby has opened and you know that is an event that is near to my heart. While I do love shiny things, you know I’m the one who swivels my neck for something shabby. Team that with quite a few things from Apple Fall and it’s like sunshine on a spring day for me.

I admit that only my pocketbook limited my purchases at Shiny Shabby. But it is open until March 15th, so I’ll have a payday before it closes.

I’ll be back to pick up more shiny shabby goodness to perk me up when another dreary day rolls around.
