What's not to like about the Aroma Cones?! Vivid, rich colors, amazing scents, eco-friendly and long lasting. They are real pine cones covered in scented wax. Perfect for a Fall centerpiece or on the mantel with fresh greens. This is the third year we have carried them at SoBo Style and we always sell out.

My new green shoes arrived today! I found them on La Naturalistas web site but they didn't have my size so I called the La Naturalista store in Santa Monica as that is their only US store and they had one pair left in my size. The strange thing is the box actually shipped from New Jersey. Oh well, I have them and they fit and I love them!

After our big wind storm a couple weeks ago, it dawned on me to use some of the branches that came down in the wind......the Sycamore branches are so pretty, the wind peeled the bark off and the wood is so smooth and white. I've been carrying home as much as i can everyday from the park. Kinda funny walking Mia while lugging large tree branches up the street.
First I clipped all the dried leaves off and then sprayed them white. We're going to put them in big buckets and display all the holiday decor and ornaments on them. It's going to look so stinkin cute.

We survived without having power at SoBo for 4 days. The wind storm that hit Ohio last Sunday was major. I have never experienced any thing like that in my life. Trees uprooted, debris all over and no electric power for most of the week. It was all about cleaning out refrigerators and finding ice.
Through all of that, Fall is definitely in the air and we have freshly picked specialty pumpkins, bittersweet and Japanese lanterns for sale. We love Fall and it's my favorite time to decorate the store. I tend to go a little crazy....hay in the windows, gourds sticking in everything, and bittersweet in every vase and container.
The primitive furniture fits right this time of year. I love a peely paint cabinet in September.

Dad scored a ton of great gourds yesterday at a pumpkin patch in Mechanicsburg, Ohio. I love sticking them in any available container possible. The colors are brilliant and the shapes are crazy.
Dad used to grow his own gourds and he would ship the dried ones to me when i lived in California. When the boxes arrived, they were always big boxes but absolutely light as a feather. He made the gourds into birdhouses, glazed them and did a really good job. When i told him my co-workers liked them, the boxes kept coming. It was a novelty for native Californians to see dried gourds....It ended up that all of my neighbors and co-workers had a Dan Palmer gourd by the end of the season.

The Country Living Fair is in Columbus, Ohio this year! The fair is being held at the Ohio Historical Society on September 12-13-14, 2008 and is only 3 miles from SoBo Style. We will be loaded with fresh inventory that weekend. So, if you're planning a trip to the fair be sure to stop by and see us. I've even been hording some goodies in the back room for that weekend.
Recycled Wool Purses
These recycled wool purses have been a huge hit with our customers. Cindy Quilgey of cindyget.com makes them from recycled sweaters, belts and leather jackets. This is the third box of purses we have received from her, they've been flying out the door.
