beautiful utah




Last week we made a quick trip up to Utah to visit my father-in-law.  Utah in the fall is so incredibly beautiful.  We missed most of the color show but were still able to catch some of it.







Estate Sale I. Magnin Cardigan $4.



















I picked some dried wildflowers while there and mixed them with some greens from my garden.
I'm going to work on some of the things I've learned about selling on eBay.  I haven't sold that much but I have learned a few things I think I can share, so as they say...watch this space. :)

    I am admiring your arrangements and wish that my cats would leave mine alone as I miss having greenery and berries in the house. Thank you fot plannong to give us sme ebay tips. I have some jewelry that I no longer wear and want to sell and perhaps a scarf or two!

  2. Your eBay tips will be great. I have only thought of doing that, but never followed up with it. I love your bittersweet! My grandmother always brought into her home. I never see it around my neck of the woods.

    1. I believe that is pyracantha not bittersweet. It has beautiful berries but wicked thorns.

  3. Beautiful pictures, Janet! I am waiting to hear your tips - I have never tried it myself.

    I love arrangements with berries in them!

  4. I live in Utah and we are actually at the height of color down in the valleys. A storm is coming through this week, however, and I expect it will bring many/most of the leaves down. I enjoy all of the seasons but autumn, and October in particular, is the best!

  7. You may have missed a lot of the fall color. But what you shared is more beautiful than what is happening in my neck if the woods.
    Anxious to hear your tips. I am seriously in need of cutting back my wardrobe, and while I like to give to charity, some of these things should be sold. Have a great day!

  9. GORgeous(!) red trees in the first photo. I love the simplicity of the pop of autumn color that you selected for the wildflower arrangements. Janet, you look all cozy, and beautiful, in your cardi strolling in the leaves. You've definitely captured the flavor of autumn in these photos! Thank you for sharing.

  10. Ah, so that's what fall looks like!

    I just put two pairs of shoes on EBAY. never tried it before, but if it's good enough for the golden goose...

    Never worn, just sitting quietly in their boxes. Probably should have waited for your tips, but you inspired me.

    love your arrangements.

    My sis gave me some Ebay instructions over the phone, just went over the basics. She said my BIL can set up my account for me when they come down to visit. Looking forward to your post!

  16. Hi Janet -

    I will be interested on your comments on ebay.

    When I lived in Northern California about 5 years ago, I used craigslist quite a bit.

    I have now lived on the east coast (Virginia) for a year. I cannot sell anything on craigslist. I have some great mid century modern pieces that I picked up in Los Angeles about 15 years ago, and am ready to downsize, but cannot get a bit on the east coast on these pieces. I am wondering if I will have luck selling them on ebay.

  18. Hi Janet,
    Can't wait for your eBay advice. I NEED to get rid of a lot of things in my house (your beautiful and neat house inspired me to declutter my house).

  19. Lovely, Janet! I love your hair in that pic too. Looking forward to the e-bay post although I just donated clothing and accessories to charity last week. My stepson loves selling stuff on e bay and does really well with it.

  20. You are such a wonderful stylist, nothing ever sells for me on Ebay, folk always email and ask, can I buy it for 99p?

  21. Hi Janet,

    What beautiful pictures of Utah (and your house). I love "fall" (we call it autumn here in NZ) - it is my most favourite time of year.

    Especially love the photo of you amongst the trees and all the leaves!

    Regards

  22. That first photo is a show stopper! I know how much you love seeing leaves on the ground. Did you roll around in the them?
