Notes from a Friday night...

1. I apologize for being terribly behind in my emails. I plan to take a day very soon to go through them all and reply.
2. I am making a vow to not bake for two whole days. I am not sure if I can make it.
3. In conflict with the above statement, I cannot stop thinking about making this. It is way too beautiful for words- I will just have to wait until sometime next week.
4. I am rather obsessed with Lookbook. I always appreciate great style from all over the world.
5. There will be no Best of the week post this week. With a broken computer charger all week, I am way behind on my Google Reader. Next week!
6. This time of year is by far my favorite. Portland is absolutely gorgeous, the weather is amazing, and the produce at the farmers market is the best. Few things satisfy me more than a cool Autumn breeze coming through my back door in the morning while I am drinking tea and/or baking bread.
7. Sometimes white can be perfect.
8. My blue hair is fading and I haven't plucked my eyebrows in over a month. I need to freshen up.
9. I have many plans for this site. Someday soon I will sit down and write it all out and really get going with it all.
10. You all inspire me. You really do.

martha stewart : halloween pom-poms.

Each kit comes with everything you need to make 2 large ones or 3 medium-size ones. Oh, how I want to make these for our Halloween gathering. ($14.99)

cori kindred.



These photography prints by Cori Kindred are completely perfect in every way; they're exactly the kind of thing I yearn for during this time of year. The colors are gorgeous, and the subjects are soft and unique. I would love to have a wall covered in every single one of them.

eight.

And so, another laptop charger has bit the dust. I don't know whether to blame it on the manufacturer or our old house wiring, but here I am with a dead computer, impatiently awaiting the arrival of a new charger in the mail. Until then, I will be trying to update as much as I can from our upstairs computer (with a terribly old version of Photoshop). So please, bare with me.

Anyways, here are some random lovely items that I found myself swooning over during the weekend...
