to the man...

....who sang The Shins with me at the top of his lungs this morning...:)

I love you SO!!!

Last night, Jeremy and I went on a date! We usually try to have a coffee date on Wednesday nights, but last night, we we dressed up and went out to dinner! It was so fun! We got to talk and eat really awesome food (that we didn't have to cook!) and then we went for coffee (best toffee mocha I've EVER tasted!) and drove around our little town! My husband rocks!

hope you have a very happy thursday!

what feels like fall to you?

(by my awesome friend Danielle Kiser made these! I'm in love! oliveeyes.etsy.com!)

Cool mornings, fresh breezes, a little leaf dancing past me, jackets, sweaters, scarves, cardboard boxes of pumpkins at the grocery store, my mom's candy corn and peanuts mix, warm photos, snug little quilts, new attempts at cooking, an urge to go shopping, making the house cozy, lighting pumpkin spice candles, settling in with a good book, wearing plaid, chai lattes, plenty of painting, going on new adventures and the mystery of change in the air...

What about you? I really want to know!

happy wednesday!

"Painterly" theme from anthro!

dreamy isn't it!?! I love the look of "unstructured" pattern! haha! is there such a thing?

hope your tuesday was lovely!

We made glitter pumpkins!!!
