When in the kitchen I’m not a pinch-of-this-pinch-of-that sort of cook. I’m very by the book (er, recipe). The Bee House Saltbox would be perfect for that kind of person though – oh so adorable.

I woke up to 35º weather this morning and cold weather means one very gross thing: dry skin. I could never seem to find a lotion that provided enough moisture. One day I randomly brought it up while getting a manicure and the technician mentioned mixing a few drops of massage oil in with your body lotion each day. Wow! It makes a huge difference and this bergamot massage oil from The Body Shop smells so terrific that I don’t even need to wear perfume.
Come on… admit it. You knew it was coming. And just in time for Halloween Pumpkin Week is here!
Experience the split personality of pumpkin with tasty Spiced Pumpkin Bisque flecked with cinnamon and chili flakes. Serve it up in a roasted pumpkin bowl for some added fall flair!

I want to make yards upon yards of this paper leaf garland and string it all over my mantel. Gorgeous simplicity! Check out the tutorial over at A Field Journal.
Loving these wrist worms for so many reasons. Our office has been chilly lately, so they’d be perfect to wear/accessorize with for work. They come in tons of different colors and styles, too!

First off, Roxy and I have neglected to thank you for all the well wishes sent her way while she was under the weather. After some meds she’s back in top form again, wrestling her brother and “functioning” properly. (Thanks to kitty laxatives!)
Second, have a fantastic weekend full of fall and pre-Halloween activities. I’m ashamed to say that I didn’t decorate the inside of my house this year, only the porch with some pumpkins and crimson colored mums. And I’ve eaten most of the candy I bought for the trick or treaters and need to stock up again this weekend before all the good stuff is gone!
This Weekend:
• restock candy supply
• hit up a bake sale with my mom
• clean
• groceries – my cupboards are close to bare!
• change out summer for winter clothes in my closet – YAY!
• work on painting china cabinet (the never-ending project!!)
• find something to bake for work on Halloween
• out with C & K
• catch up one some sleepin’!
Happy Weekend!

Posted In recipesRapid Change in Design (The Changing Landscape & New Rules for Design Project) is a side job my co-worker, Chris, put together in collaboration with our design shop, Hester Designs. I really dig his graphics and the viewpoint that the ultimate goal behind any design – graphic, architectural, web, etc – is to solve a problem. Not design for the sake of designing. Take a look-see and put in your two cents on the topic!
Design is a continuous evolution. Things are changing at rapid speeds, and rapid change calls for us to change the way that we design. This project looks to stimulate that change.
