fall

oh how I love you fall.

there is just something about fall that is making me so happy this year.

I love the quote from you've got mail that says something to the effect of loving new york in the fall "I would send you a bouquet of freshly sharpened pencils..."

it's just the overall feeling made up of a dozen tiny little random things that are making me smile.

like seeing pumpkins everywhere. halloween preparations are in full swing and while I am a HUGE wimp about all things scary, there seems to be enough that I find fun to outweigh all that scary business. collecting costume pieces means shopping and the thrill of the hunt for that perfect costume addition.


...and making these. pumpkin chocolate chip cookies. yum.


and the way fall is making me want to constantly craft. my current obsession has been searching for halloween cuteness and making felt play food for a certain someones christmas gift. doesn't this felt pumpkin pie make you want to craft? and while mine will probably be a little less polished it will be made with love, that counts for something right?




I also love the way fall smells. pumpkin patch candles are filling my house with the scent of fall and I am soaking it all in.

this fall brought with it the release of this classic from the disney vault. fall makes me want to curl up and watch movies with my family.

while listening to my favorite thing about fall...the rain. we have been poured upon the past few days and I am loving it. I have had excited little ones at my house as they crowd around the windows to watch. the rain took a break today and I have my blinds closed imagining it is still gloomy and wet. denial? yes, I know. but it makes me happy to think fall is finally here after months of 100+ degree heat. I mean you have no idea how excited I was to bust out the fall clothes the past few days.

so fall keep it coming I am thoroughly enjoying every moment of you.
