I was a little disappointed that the last Weekly Photo Challenge didn’t have a huge response. I think it might have been due to the fact that it spanned the holidays, and who was worrying about photo challenges over the holidays, right?
I’m also wondering if it wasn’t the theme I chose, maybe it just didn’t resonate with people. That’s why, this time around I’m asking for your input.
I’ve put together a poll of a few theme ideas. Vote for the one(s) you like and/or share your suggestions in the comments below.

I’ve got something up my sleeve and I don’t want to let the cat out of the bag completely, but I do need some help in planning it. Please answer the poll question below and I promise I will be sharing my plans soon enough! I’m sure you can figure part of it out though.

I need your help in choosing the winner for last week’s Weekly Photo Challenge! The Weekly Photo Challenge is a fun new feature for which I will periodically put out a photo challenge calling for you to upload photos around a particular theme to the Indie Fixx Flickr group. Then you will have a week to get your photo taken and added to the Group. The idea is provide you with a venue to show off & offer up some inspiration for everyone involved. Sometimes, just to add a little bit more fun, I will offer up a prize!
Last week’s theme was HOMEMADE and the prize was for a winner’s choice Soldered Pendant Necklace from The Broken Plate Pendant Company ($45).
The entry period for last week’s challenge is over, but you can help me choose the winner, since I can’t decide who should win.
I picked my top 3 entries and I want you to vote on who you think should win. See the entries below and then vote in the poll at the bottom of this post. The poll will close on December 1st at 11:59 pm EST and the winner will be the entrant with the highest number of votes at that time.

1. Half-eaten Gingerbread Man by Vadjutka

2. Colorful Knits by helloterrio

3. Autumn Rosette Wreath by seamsoflife

You’ve had a few days now to sit on the new look, so I thought it might be tie for a poll to see where you all come in on it.
I’d also love to hear what you do or do not like about it, so leave a comment with your thoughts.


I am a fan of the show Mad Men…who isn’t right? And even more than the show itself (or Don Draper) I am in love with the styling of the show. It’s just beautiful! I especially love the fashions and thought I’d put together some posts on how you can get that Mad Men look. Each day this week, I will be featuring vintage shops and vintage goods to help you pull of that Mad Men look, whether you are a Betty, Joan or Peggy. Make sure to participate in my little poll below to share which character you most identify with fashion wise.
Today’s shop is Dear Golden Vintage and they have tons of vintage styles from the 50s & 60s. I’ve put together a little montage of some of my favorites.
So, which Mad Men femme are you?

Remember back here I talked about making some changes around here? Well, I am still working on all that. One recentĀ change, I’m not sure if you have noticed or not, is the new background…not a huge change, but it does freshens things I a bit.
Anyway, here are a couple of polls for you to answer that may be helpful to me. I know it’s all a little cryptic, but secrets usually are.
Btw, Some Clever Spoon is my food blog in case you didn’t know.
