My obsession for white ceramics continues. Have you met miss jones as seen on Oh Joy!

wrap me up

I am always cold, and the mister is always warm. It's just something we have to learn to deal with. It's a good thing I am perfectly happy to wrap myself up in a blanket pretty much 24/7. I don't think I ever had any special attachment to a blanket as a child, which seems strange since I find so much comfort in them now in my adult life. But anyway, I thought I would share some really lovely blankets that I wouldn't mind cuddling up in, and displaying on the couch on the rare occasion that I'm not wearing it.

Lovely, no?

The Littlest

I feel like I've been talking about babies an awful lot for someone who has none, but it seems like everyone around me is having them. I swear there's a constant rotation of 5 or 6 pregnant people that I know or at least read about on the blogs, and as soon as someone has a baby another one announces their pregnancy. So. I've had babies on the brain. And these are the cutest darned baby clothes I have ever seen in my life.

glam pumpkins

It is, unfortunately, a job hazard in my line of work that I am unable to actually enjoy holidays when they happen. What I mean is that now, a week before Halloween, I am totally over Halloween because I'm in the midst of planning for Christmas at work. I'm pretty excited about our new windows which I will be doing in two weeks, and while I can't give away any secrets now I can't wait to share them with you when they're done! Anyway, these lovely glittery pumpkin candle holders from Twig & Thistle for Better Homes & Gardens are enough to make me rethink this whole "over Halloween" thing just long enough to run to Michael's for some foam pumpkins and some glitter.

I'm Here

The mister bought this book recently, which is really the accompaniment to a short film by Spike Jonze called I'm Here. They are both beautiful and inspiring, and you should absolutely check them out!

Here's the trailer for the film.

And here are some more iPhone photos I took of the book. Because I felt like it.

 

 

 

And you can watch the entire short film here.

Later On

Because it's Kate Nash and it's Halloween. And I'm pretty sure those are the only reasons I need.

Speaking of Halloween though, the mister and I are trying to come up with ideas for Halloween costumes. There's a chance I may not be working and we can go out somewhere. Do any of you have your costumes planned? (here's my shameless plea- when I ask you questions, answer them. Here on my blog, not on my facebook. It would make my day for reals. Heck, leave some comments even if I don't ask you questions. Makes it feel like I'm doing this for a reason. Ok?)

Pumpkin pickin'

The mister and I met up with a group of friends yesterday to go pumpkin picking. The original plans of the day also included corn mazes and haunted houses, which didn't quite work out, but we had a great day nonetheless. We found a farm that actually lets you go out into the field where the pumpkins grow and cut them right off the vine. So much more fun than picking one out of a box at the grocery store or even those places that just have them sitting out in a field to try to mimic the experience of real pumpkin picking!

Afterward we headed over to a friends house for some cooking out and hanging around a fire on a perfectly chilly October night. I hope you all had a great weekend as well!

I Can Haz?

This EVOKE Mio radio designed by Orla Kiely is just darling.

Little Paul & Joe

If I had little ones and thousands of dollars with which to dress them, I would for sure dress them in Little Paul & Joe
