oh, autumn, how i love you!


Today I decided to turn all my stress and my Gopher’s embarassingly terrible loss into a creative outlet. I’ve been dying to start decorating for fall, and I finally had the chance to get crafty! I accomplished quite a bit, from baking a pumpkin chiffon pie and roasting the pumpkin seeds from the pumpkins Christine and I bought yesterday, to making a wreath from leaves and painting pumpkins with glitter. Autumn is my favorite season of the year for a variety of reasons, but the seasonal decorations are for sure the best! I’m on the lookout for more Halloween knick-knacks, (tasteful, of course) so if anyone knows of any cute stores in Chicago that might sell them, or any websites online, message me! Above are all the projects I worked on today: fall flowers in mason jars with ribbon tied around the them, caramel apples in a variety of flavors, pretty leaves tied around small candles, fall potpourri, a colorful fall wreath, pumpkin candle holders and glitter painted pumpkins!
