I know I go into fall kicking and screaming every year, but once I'm done, I truly enjoy it. There's something very exciting about fall due to the expectancy hanging in the air. Bonfires, apple cider, scarves and sweaters, pumpkin donuts, honey crisp apples, leaves changing color, and hot tea...lovely. From the week:

-Tiny little pinecone on a chain in the shop.

-Pumpkin Spice Rice Crispy Treats, a recipe that I will definitely be trying soon!

-Google like a boss...self-explanatory

-I enjoyed this little post by Jess Lively about getting her winter coat relined. I haven't heard anyone say "my tailor" outside of a movie in ever. Looks beautiful and is definitely more affordable if you go around buying $300 coats. Someday, maybe...

-Real big Psych fan here, but I can't believe someone made a site for all the "Gus, don't be a..." lines. :) It's great.

-I can honestly say that I already knew every single one of Refinery 29's hospitality tips from my mother. :)

-I think I'm getting this...

-Great story that happened in the midst of the terror in Kenya last week...

-Beautiful photo (Fred Astaire and Audrey Hepburn) :)

Camp Mug Candle DIY

I found another excellent candle diy that ties into fall really nicely. Camp mugs! (Look at the summery seashell candle diy here.) Check it out at Poppytalk.

Farrago Friday 9.13.13

It's Friiiiiday!!!! I'm headed off to housesit through next weekend w/ my sister. Sadie the Boston Terrier is going to be hanging with us.

Here's the batch of random from this week...

-I don't know who took this picture (sorry), but I'd like to know how they got into my house when I was 4 without my mother seeing them! Seriously, this could be me and my sis. It jumped out at me because we plan to watch old animated Disney movies while we housesit. Good stuff! :)

-When I got my haircut, the stylist used this on my hair and it stayed quite soft and smooth for a really long time afterwards. I'm considering ordering a bottle:

-This article was very worth reading! It was right on target for me and expressed some of the frustration I've experienced in my early 20s. It's nice to know I'm not the only one.

-This may be coming to BGD...

-Cute and easy coaster DIY from Fellow Fellow:

-Dark Chocolate and Salted Caramel Topped Shortbread...I like the salt & caramel coupling going on, and these looks delicious!

-I'm pondering purchasing Jess Lively's Business With Intention At-Home Workshop...what do you think? If anyone reading this is interested in it too, she's giving 15% off to people on her newsletter mailing list who pre-register.

-I would like to live in this summer pinterest board by Beneficial Design forever, but the autumn one is beautiful too...

                    

-A song for the weekend...

Chocolate Banana Bars

When I saw this recipe on Casey Weigand's blog just a couple of days ago, it made my mouth water! I am definitely trying it soon! You can find the recipe here. This would be the perfect thing to eat with my favorite specialty coffee drink, called "Funky Monkey," that a local coffee shop makes. It's mocha and banana of course, and I love it!

To Kill a Title...

 

Ever read these classic novels? Tomorrow Is Another Day; Something That Happened; First Impressions; Strangers From Within and On the Road to West Egg...?

Chances are, you've read at least one of them... these are the original, unused titles of 5 well-known classics. Tell me which ones you think these are, then peek at the article from Huffington Post to see if you're right and to check out the rejected titles of 19 other popular novels. :)

Arrange

I LOVE this short tutorial on arranging flowers, and I NEED it. I've always wanted to experiment with flower arranging, but I can never make the arrangement stand up and look filled out...thanks to Erin from House of Earnest, I should be able to do something about that! :)
