Our Weekend

This weekend was peaceful and relaxing. A nice break after a not so peaceful last week. Me and the boys spent the weekend together, pumpkin patching, partying with friends and family, cooking, writing cards, eating too many donuts, and snuggling late into the afternoon on Sunday.

I love the cold setting in here in Portland. It's funny how much Portlanders missed the rain. We all seem to be relieved to have it back. In 4 months we will feel differently of course, but right now, it's wonderful. 

Pebbles for Boots

 

Martha Stuart suggests a pebble filled tray to set your wet rain boots on. I think that is a great idea. It might work great under coat hooks too, that way your rain coat can drip into the pebble tray instead of on the floor.

Update. Two of my man friends built me one. It looks great. Thanks guys!

comfy cozy

 

Okay.. I guess I have to accept that summer is over, even if it was only here for two weeks. That's okay though because I LOVE fall! It's by far my favorite season. I love the trees changing, I love the cool crisp air, I love boots and layering, I love the holidays and all the anticipation. 

I have two priorities for fall. Working on my portfolio and being festive, and I think that finding the perfect everyday comfy cozy scarf is imperative. American Apparels circle scarf seems like a  good candidate.
