Vacation Shopping - Decor I loved!

Whew - we got the big news out yesterday about getting engaged! Now I am happy to share my favorite decor finds from out west with you!

So what is vacation without a little shopping?!  Instead of searching for t-shirts, shot glasses, or other trinkets (we did buy a few of all of the mentioned items) I found myself wanting to stop in every home decor type of store that was in Jackson Hole, WY.  After the first two stops, my finance (I love that word!) kindly reminded me that he was the only guy in these types of stores.  He was a trooper though and even agreed to make me some items out of antlers!

Here are a few of my favorite finds via the iPhone.  (Adam wouldn't let me haul around my big "tourist" camera.)

I love the rich color of the burnt orange combined with the pattern and texture!  See that little "pop" of green in the back?! I Love it!

I thought these framed insects were interesting.  I don't like bugs in my house, but I could handle these framed guys in my living room.  Next time I find a buy this size, I am going to put my 9th grade biology skills to work to capture and frame them.... probably not...

This framed tree bark was the first thing I was attracted to when I walked into the store.  It's so simple - I love that anything can be framed these days.  I found a tree outside of our office whose bark is peeling off - similar to this tree bark - I wonder what people would think if they saw me collecting tree bark during lunch?!

For some reason, I like this pillow.  Maybe it's the simple screen print.  It would never fit with my current decorating scheme, but I still like it!

Ok - here is the fun stuff!  Who knew you could do this cool stuff with antlers?!  These deer antlers were turned into a candle stick holder.  L-O-V-E!  Adam has plenty of deer antlers around so he agreed to try making me this.  (Probably the only way that antler will make their way into our house...)

I saved my favorite for last!  This was my absolute favorite find - a wine rack made out of antlers!  These were all over the place in Jackson Hole, the trouble is they go for $300+!  Yousa! We did a little investigating about how they were made and these too are make-able!

Be prepared to see antlers become part of our decor scheme in future posts...

Have a great Thursday - it's almost the weekend!  Yay!
