Pumpkins - Not just for Halloween

Pumpkins are still popular

with Thanksgiving approaching...

Instead of carving why not paint?

They would be most festive done in your color palette

for Thanksgiving...

Umm...can we say spectacular...
sparkle...

Traditional colors with a chic twist...

You know how much I love the chevron print...

Change the black on this argyle print to brown...
perfectly preppy...

The possibilities are endless...
And your guests and neighbors will love it too!

Orange Love

You can't help but love the color orange...

especially in the fall...
It brings a sense of comfort...

sometimes a sense of happy...
(Love this new Kate Spade bag!)




definitely a sense of style with this pretty...
Yes, please!

a sense of nostalgia...
remember making these in school?!

and perhaps a sense of reminders...
to savor the good life...

Sweet Friday - Pumpkins

It's pumpkin time...

I just sent these polka dotted pretties out yesterday 
for a ladies luncheon...

I love how they come in all shapes, sizes & personalities...

Take The Great Pumpkin
who flies in...

or lovelies like these...

and who could resist sparkly pumpkins...


Enjoy the weekend!

Fall

I love this time of the year...

My only wish is that it would be cooler

 here in the big O (rather than in the 90's)...

Time to enjoy the crisp air
in the beautiful scenery...

pick apples...

start looking for the perfect pumpkin...

and break out that perfect fall outfit...

Sweet Friday

I L-O-V-E caramel apples...

That is one treat I truly look forward to all year...

The gooey caramel with that sweet, tart, crisp apple...

Pure delight!

These blinged out apples look quite decadent...

I love the way candy apples look...

The sheen of the candy is gorgeous...

Aren't these oh so spooky?

Are you interested in recipes?

Happy Weekend!
