And the stars came down tonight and greeted me.
And kissed me.
And their kisses tickled my skin.
And they felt like what stars would feel like.
Or how I imagined them to feel like.
And I smiled for the first time in the longest time.
And I cried for the first time in the longest time.
And I lost myself.
In darkness. In light.
In dreams of stars and midnight.

I love the science lab meets kitchen feel of this set of two pipette vinegar bottles. And of course, they dispense exact measures of any liquid condiment you choose to display. Perfect for the haphazard cook in your life. {via design-milk}
I like desserts that present really well, but are simple to make on a moments notice. These Brown Sugar Baked Apples are the perfect example and the epitome of fall!
