Punkins.
Monday, October 27, 2008 at 12:02PM Tons of sessions to post. But after not blogging for so long, it just seems easier to talk about the weekend. First of all, the weather has been in the 70s, which feels like natural Xanax. Everything is glossed over with a certain level of contentment. No gas in the car? That's okay, it's 70 out. Gained 3 pounds? Who cares, feel that breeze. The world's economy is crashing? Oh well, at least it's 70. My mom always says she loves the beginnings of every season. I agree.
So we made our annual trip to Love Creek Orchards. This time, DD and Beau and their kiddos came, which made it even better! Even though, none of the pictures I took of them really turned out. Sorry, maybe she'll post some on her blog soon. HINT, DD. :)
For some reason Emily was super cranky for most of the day. And I'm the mean mom that thinks she's so cute when her bottom lip buckles under like that. She is going to stomp on my camera some day.
Jason taking his pumpkin carving very. seriously.
These were so good after we toasted them. I felt very Martha Stewart-ish for a minute.
And look at my new chandelier! Found it in NY when I was at market with Katy, and recently painted all the walls chocolate to set it off. Now I just need something amazing to hang up in there. Any ideas? I was thinking of a series of dandelion photographs. But then I'd have to find time to take them. What do you think? I'm thinking turquoise-y / periwinkle frames...?
Other randomness, did you guys know that Mary Engelbreit is discontinuing The Home Companion?!! (thanks Jana!) I find this news to be devastating because 1. it's my favorite mag. And 2. I never ordered a subscription! WTF was I thinking?! I would always only pick it up randomly as I stumbled on it. But now that it's going away, I'm feeling like I missed the bus. So, if any of you pack rats out there, have saved any issues that you'd be willing to part with, I'd be so happy to take them off your hands. Or pay shipping? Just let me know! :0)
Okay, I need to get back to the editing marathon. But I have to say it's nice to be back. I'll see you tomorrow. Bring your Crapshoots!

LOVE the red chandelier!!
I love the beginning and middle of fall - just not the end....it's the best and adds a pep in my step just to have that nice breeze sweep in to replace the sizzling heat.
And remember what an exagerated ordeal I used to make about anything 'pastel'? How chocolate walls and red chandeliers were the only thing for me... "permanently"? Anything food. Chocolate, cinnamon, raspberry, lemon, lime, cream... Well, now all I crave is (and I still will NEVER use the word "pastel") so I'll say 'ocean colors'! Sand, aqua, sky, deep sea... So, I'd be no help with art suggestions. Something primary and wonderful from Kal's gallery maybe? One of her amazing food pixs?
But the best, best, best part of this post is your adorable family and the turn of the season. I'll be right over.
xoxo!
I love that pouty face, it is sooo cute!!! That is so sad about home companion, I never subscribed, but I love it too:( Romantic Homes is really great.
