Here's some of what I have in mind......

Cooking and baking are practically synonymous with the word holidays. I fell over seeing these delectable goodies. I am considering a holiday cocktail party, seeing these scrumptous treats has me leaning towards doing it but then again its my stomach talking not my head which knows how much work/stress it can be. Have to think about that one but feast your eyes on these!  I mean seriously if these won't put you in the holiday mood, what will?

Opening the door to my heart...so cute!

Whoa! Bring on the milk!

Colin Cowie (husbands and boy would love the mini versions of their favorites)

Too cute

Holy cow! Caramel apple cake...oh yea!

Peter Callahan

Gorgeous beef wellington

Now that I have you hungry......sorry, they were just too special to not share! I am excited, going see this movie tonight, The eye has to travel about Diana Vreeland. As soon as I had read about it, knew I had to see it and its playing in my neck of the woods. Diana Vreeland was a remarkable pioneer and this movie celebrating her life and contributions looks fantastic!

Two books I just ordered and cannot wait to get...do you have them? What do you think? They both look like winners, hope they don't disappoint!

On a fashion front...I looooove boots. Every year add a few to my collection. I have had some for years and years, cannot part with them. These are the ones I an currently coveting. The good news is they are all stunning and available in my size, the bad news is they are all from Gorsuch (favorite company) and now I need to narrow it down..........

No your eyes to do not deceive you, that IS fur and these are the J Mendel version of wellies!

Announced a frequent buyer program for my online store which is effective until Dec. 15th. Click here to visit yesterdays post if you didn't see it. (it has the details)

Last tidbit, hot off the presses, my guest room started to get done. I am overjoyed with how the crown/carona has come out. Granted the bedding, pillows and windows are not done. And the tiebacks I ordered haven't come in but I had to share a sneak peek, taken with my iphone last night. I will have an entire photo session with my camera when done (the colors aren't great here) but I was so happy with it wanted to show you one in progress shot....

That's about it, this is a short post (for me at least) just wanted to say hi and share whats new and exciting over here. What are you up to this weekend? Hope whatever you do is enjoyable and wonderful. Wishing you a wonderful weekend!

My own fall decor this season........

How spectacular is this rustic outdoor setting in a barn....absolutely idyllic!

Are you seriously ever too old for a candy apple? I think not...don't you know if you eat one in the fall, its half the calories:)

Something about an outdoor setting under the rustling leaves with a slight fall breeze.....doesn't get better!

 

A fun time to go a litlte crazy with fall decor......love the colors! Pottery Barn

I feel you are never too old to hit a pumpkin farm!

Hello crusty bread and hearty homemade soup! 

Fall is a visit to Central Park and watching the model sailboats take sail in the cool fall breeze....

Fall is meant for apple picking (and apple pie ala mode of course)!

Its the perfect season to burn fall scented candles...and how about these darling gourd ones? PB

The spectrum of colors is nothing short of a miracle

Where apples in abundance can be found.....Country Living

And creating beautiful fall-ish vignettes! (Pottery Barn)

I cannot help but think of lazy late afternoons...true I NEVER get to catnap in a beautiful hammock in a sun lit lakeside cozy cabin but I can dream about it! (Pinterest)

How about all those precious little trick or treaters that come around every fall? 

Apple pie and fall are practically synonymous!

And doesn't fall make the most inspiring table setting with the rich colors and wonderful textures! CL

Fall is meant for settings like this, a charming quiet cabin on a lake.......love it!

And wearing gorgeous cashmere sweaters and scarves and fabulous racing gloves..ooh la la!

And creating simple arrangements of beautiful fall leaves and gourds in pretty old urns.....

Give me any excuse to have to stay home and put on a pair of cozy socks...ahh, that's fall for you!

And finally, fall and wonderful comfort foods go together like oreos and milk, don't you think?

Well that's what fall means to me.........So what about you? There's so much to celebrate during this wonderful season! Do you love fall and get excited over it being here too? Whats your absolute favorite thing about this magical season? Do tell!
