fanciful, quirky, its got my name all over it...


Im in love with the art of this etsy seller: HidenSeek. The illustrations with the big bear and the little girl drew me in with their beautiful earth toned watercolor. They are a little pricey for me, as im saving up to buy clothes for my french adventure, but look how cute this mirror is, made from my favorite print!!!

Cute as a button!


I saw this cute little button ring on etsy, made by JustmeJewelry. I thought "Wow this would be so easy to make" So i thought i'd share with you guys. All you need is a button, a cheap ring (they sells bags of them at crafts stores for like 8 dollars) and a hot gluegun. There you go! but if you're really lazy, jut buy it off etsy.

fall skin? not so much


I know its fall, and I'm excited, obviously. What I'm not excited for is icky dry looking fall skin. So be kind to your skin this season and exfoliate with this golden pumpkin sugar polish by Haunt Bath and Body. Its $11 and the scent keeps you in the fall spirit!

So Cute!


William-Sonoma sells the cutest baking pan that turns out little cakes in the shape of acorns. I'd use it to make cornbread, for sure. So perfect for fall!!!!

Fall poem


Sooo here's a fall poem to get us in the mood! P.s. there is a reference to corn fritters; you can scroll down and check out my recipe!






Autumn, Queen of the Year
by Winifred Sackville Stoner Jr.

When the pumpkins are so yellow
and the vines with grapes abound.
When the melons are so mellow
and the nuts fall to the ground;
When the persimmons loose their bitters,
and the apples are so red;
When we love to eat corn fritters
When vacation days are over
and the children go to school,
the no longer play in clover;
But learn much "arithmos-rule"
When weird Halloween's most naughty elves
When gnomes and sprites appear
When fat Thanksgivings fills the shelves-
'tis Autumn , Queen of Year.

New heading

OK so this is my FAVORITE SEASON EVER! All my most favorite things: Gap, Flannel, Quilts, Spices, Pumpkin carving, Pilgrims, Leaves, Wind, Scarves, and Good smells!!! Its all s crisp and perfect!
So, how to make the best of fall? Me and my bestie Colleen have a fall fun day every year sometime in October. We make fall color paper chains, craft butterflies out of leaves and sticks and carve pumpkins while rocking out and munching on candy corn. its the life.this year we're making suncatchers! Using a low setting, iron a leaf between two pieces of wax paper with a sheet of plain paper as a buffer on top, between the wax and the iron. Dont forget the excellent pumpkin pie for desert!
