I’m a few days late and a week behind but I thought I’d share this wonderful little mountain brunch I attended last Wednesday, hosted by Summer Bellessa at her super fabulous, newly renovated, mountain home, The Modern Lodge, here in Lake Arrowhead. I met Summer at Emily Henderson’s Mountain House Reveal party, which I was …

Easy Halloween Tabletop Decor // Spooky Chic Tablescape
I pulled this from my 2012 Halloween Decor post because it was so long and photo-heavy full of Halloween decor, that my spooky-chic tablescape needed its own little post.
