Harvest Time!
For the first time in 3 years we didn't have our annual harvest party due to my gigantic prego-ness. Luckily, our friends had one complete with hayrides and pumpkin carving at their home all nestled in the vineyards.

mmm {nice package}
Great packaging alert! This chunky little glass bottle makes me want to buy a dozen and line 'em up all neatly in my fridge. Does that sound kind of OCD? Yeah, I guess it does, but this little bottle of forest milk from Japan is designed so simply, and so well.

halloween decor {ideas?}
I promised Ruby that we'd decorate the house for Halloween today after school...now I need to come up with some quick ideas. It going to be a compromise, I'm sure, of her brightly colored pumpkin/spider/witch cardboard cut-outs and my idea of a harvest wonderland...any tips? image via country living

{happy friday!}
What a crazy week - a huge storm and then pure sunshine, love that I had the chance to wear my new rubber boots! Looking forward to a Harvest Party & a Halloween party this weekend, and more work in the nursery. Pregnancy update: 33 weeks & I am HUGE, crampy and crabby (be glad you're not my hubby). xo, amber photo via pretty much

{beautiful} baubbles
Oh! The jewelry collection over at Plumo is insane! Each one would be perfect for Fall or Holiday...or for walking to the mailbox or for anything, really. And that ring?? It's giving me goosebumps.

moody + groovy {tunes}
Waiting impatiently for a pumpkin spice latte, this CD caught my eye yesterday. It looks slightly 60's moody and groovy and may need to be part of today's rainy-day repertoire. Have you heard it - like/love/hate it?

{brrrr} good movie day
What better way to spend a cold, grey weekend afternoon than at the movies, mid-day no less! I met up with a girlfriend to see The September Issue, a documentary that follows the entire creative process of making the biggest Fall issue in Vogue history. Endless racks of clothes, models and photo-shoots, kind of fascinating, really, also revealing the mystique behind those dark glasses. We also polished off 2 boxes of sour patch kids & whoppers, making it an all around decadent girls-day-out!

{NOT} design or babies
Can we just discuss something completely non-design or baby related for just a moment? I't's Bravo's Flipping Out - I seriously love this show. It's real estate + design + pure reality goodness. Jeff Lewis (who I completely crush on) cracks me up, like rolling laughing (not pretty at 8.5 months prego...), and that Jenny is some sort of super human to work for him and all his compulsive craziness. Do you watch?

project nursery: paint & pom-pom's
We've officially begun Project Nursery - transforming our closet (yes, the closet) into a dreamy haven for our little gal-to-be. We accomplished so much this weekend. Still to come: lighting, crib, changing table, wall art, rug & (maybe) a mobile. Stay tuned!
Curtains - we sewed fun yellow pom-pom's onto cafe-length canvas panels form Tarjay (thanks, Mom!) DIY here.
Bedding - the bedding that you all loved most was purchased, hooray & thank you for voting!

{happy friday!}
I'd like nothing more than to nestle into this cocoon bed for the weekend, but I have tons to do. Baby-girl arrives in 6 weeks so we have plenty of DIY nursery-projects keeping us busy - paint, pom-pom curtains, art frame wall, and if there's time...a branch mobile. Will have lots of pics for you along the way! xoxo, amber image: smashmydreamlove

I'm loving this crisp October air - leaves are scattered, the nursery is coming along, and I'm craving pumpkin! There's something so warm and delicious about pumpkin recipes, here's a few that caught my eye, xo 1 mini-pies 2 soup 3 lasagna 4. parfaits
