Oh, the cooler temperatures have arrived finally! Thank you all for sending some of your Fall our way. We were going to continue with our regular Autumn rituals anyway, but it has arrived just in time. And we are celebrating! Wyatt took an all too rare morning nap so that I could have a quick moment to enjoy my traditional pumpkin spiced latte and a magazine. Also a rare thing these days. I picked up Mary Engelbreit's magazine while at the grocery store yesterday. I don't subscribe to this one, or even read it off the racks normally. I find it a bit to sweet sometimes for my taste, but with a cover article called "Rock Your Rooms", I was intrigued. I loved the curtain fabrics in the photo above. The dining room is not the only room that needs curtains you know.
And I also fell in love with a little pillow on the Halloween decorating spread. On the second page, top photo, do you see the black pillow with the white botanical silhouette? Love that! Although I can not imagine decorating my whole house like this for Halloween. Yikes! I looked the pillow up in the back of the magazine and it referenced Target for all of the pillows in the article. Hmmm...I haven't been to Target in several months. I think a trip there is in order soon.
Ian has been dying to make some Christmas sugar cookies. What? Is the entirely-too-early Christmas marketing all around us seeping in? Not in this house! So, we compromised with some leaf shaped cookies. Flour was scattered, dough was rolled, dough was tasted, sprinkles were sprinkled, and dough was tasted again and again and again all the way up to the point of popping them in the oven. We are lucky we ended up with a full plate in the above photo.
And I even wore my new owl on a limb t-shirt it. New only because of the continuing wardrobe redo. Plain yellow Old Navy t-shirt + owl embroidery from Sublime Stitching + a little rough edge applique for the branch and this is what you get. It was perfect yesterday with a chocolate brown long sleeve underneath!
Happy Fall Ya'll!!!
