Simply Gourds.
Sometime in the past 24 hours I’ve turned into a person who likes decorative gourds. Particularly tall white ones.

Pixel Girl.
Pixel Girl is where I’m drawing this year’s Halloween costume inspiration from. Do you think it’s okay to dress up for Halloween when you’re 75? Because I probably still will.

Caramel + Chocolate Dipped Apples.

Most holidays I like to do a little something for friends. Sometimes it’s a goodie bag, others a handmade card. For Halloween I normally do your typical trick or treat candy packaged in a fun way. Last year I covered clean aluminum soup cans in decorative fall-looking papers and filled them, the cans could then be used for pens or whatever after the fact. (This isn’t exactly earth shattering, I realize.) I knew I wanted to venture into unknown territory this year and go old school with some caramel apples.I just didn’t know which recipe I’d be following until this gem came into my life. If mine end up looking half as photogenic I’ll consider it a success. {I’m also interested in these Peanut Butter Caramel Dipped Apples!}
More Halloween treats:
+ Baked Pumpkin Spice Donut Holes
+ Pumpkin Cream Cheese Truffles
+ Pumpkin Milkshakes
+ Halloween Petit Fours (for the professional orderers amongst you)
+ Pumpkin Spice Latte Martini
+ Candied Apple Cider

DIY Ruffle Necklace.
I’m all about browns and peachy hues this fall, they’re warm and feminine while remaining subtle. I’m also all about ruffles in moderation. And making things that look straight out of Anthropologie. Case in point, this DIY Ruffle Necklace. Obviously you could use whatever sorts of colors or patterns you’d like, but I’m partial to this version. {via 100 Layer Cake}

Multi-Notebook.
The Multi-Notebook is a compilation of all that is right in my office supply-driven world. A Franken-notebook of sorts, it combines six different styles – including ruled, grid and sticky – under one ring-binding. Heaven.

Satomi Kawakita.
You know how sometimes you’re just going about your own business, browsing through your reader, and you happen across something that’s so you it leaves your jaw hanging open. This ring could not be more me if it tried.
