happy friday

I hope you all have a great weekend planned, filled with halloween type things or pumpkins! I still can't figure out what I should dress up like on Saturday when a large group of us head to Capitol Hill for some pre-halloween festivities.

     I'm leaning towards being Dora the Explorer and Brian as my Diego...

     Anyway, I couldn't help but share "how to relish autumn" via Anthropologie Magazine:

Have a great weekend!

Photo Friday! Ballard Farmer's Market

Happy Friday! What are you doing this weekend? We going to the Blue Scholar's concert tonight and then Saturday we are off to the ski swap. As for Halloween, we are making it officially Saturday, and are dressing up as roller-derby girls (homemade tutu's/ knee pads included)!

Hope you enjoy the last weekend of October!

The temperature is consistently dropping here, and the trees are almost bare. It would be nice if fall lasted longer, but it seems the last hurrah of fall is halloween (at least in northern Idaho). Anyways, I think this would be the perfect halloween treat (if only someone would make it for me, because it's a little beyond my skill level). 

Butternut Squash and Hazelnut Bouchons, with Toasted Nutmeg Ice cream 
(I have no idea what this mean but I know I would love it!)

Or I would settle for this....Riesling Poached Pear Tart with Chai Spiced Custard and Almond Crust

On a side note, I just got a Lover.ly account. It's like Pinterest, but just for weddings and I am officially addicted. You can search by theme, style, color, and the list goes on, and then categorize your favorites:

It's beautiful, go check it out: Here

Lost Photos: Brian's Camera

I'm raiding Brian's computer and found a few lost photos from this summer:

*Side Note* Do you think it is too early to start planning for Halloween? Yes, we are absolutely going to dress up but now we have to figure out, as what?

Maybe Brian and I can re-enact this:

 Isn't that the most ridiculous thing you have ever seen!
