Really? Thanksgiving is next week?? Maybe this Sweet Potato and Ginger Pudding will start to put you in the right frame of mind. Very pumpkin pie-like, but without most of the fat.

Thanks to everyone who entered The Paper Apartment giveaway and congratulations to Lindsey!
My most feminine outfit? That would have to be my red cocktail dress. It’s mid-thigh, with little cap sleeves, a deep V-neck, a balloon hem and the best part? POCKETS!

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!

One of my biggest gifting pet peeves is when I can’t find a box that fits perfectly. I don’t want it to be too big, where I have to cram in a wad of tissue paper. Or too small, where the box is literally all bent out of shape. Luckily for me – and all of your other perfectionists – Sharilyn of lovelydesign is the same way. And took the initiative to create a pattern and set of instructions for the rest of us.
To say that I’m obsessed with this paper floral wreath from Dana and Carol would be a huuuge understatement. It also makes me think that a red/pink/silver/champagne Christmas might not be such a bad idea for decorating my own little cave. (There are only a few wreaths left in the shop right now, but you can convo them about other colorways that aren’t currently for sale.) {via That’s Happy}
