A Pumpkin Patch

of fall decor choices.

{velvet pumpkins, fabric pumpkins, 

book pumpkins, glitter pumpkins}

I am feeling a weeknight craft project coming along!  

Don't you love it when kids say "punkin"?  Too cute.

Love for Etsy

In honor of the upcoming holiday, today's post features three musical greats in all of their ghoulish glory.  

The prints are linocut designs (hand carved on wood and then hand printed on heavy card stock) by Straw Castle.  The designer, Derrick, is my husband's cousin who also made the Lift Up Nashville poster.  A cool, creative guy.  

What are your Halloween plans?  Got a good costume in the works? 

I've Been Tagged

I've been tagged by Mo Pie, Please, a blog about art, travel, weddings, food, fashion, music, the outdoors and funny life experiences. I love how I never know what I'll read there from one day to the next. Be sure to check it out!

The tag game goes as follows:

Go to the 8th folder in which you store your photos

Select the 8th photo

Post it to your blog and tell the story behind it.

After following the instructions you are 'supposed' to tag 8 other bloggers.

This photo was taken on Halloween night 2009. This is my sister, Alex and her husband, Ben. They are dressed up as Dwight and Angela from The Office. (See her cat? Ha!). My brother's girlfriend, Hope, had never been trick-or-treating before. We decided that her freshmen year of college was a perfect time to introduce her to the childhood adventure. We (6 adults and no children) all chose characters from The Office and hit the streets for some candy. As you can imagine, we got the dreaded "mom stare" from behind many an opened front door. A few people recognized our costumes (were the rest of them hiding in a hole for the past 5 seasons?) and gave us hearty laughs and extra treats. It was so much fun!

This isn't part of the game, but I couldn't help myself. Below is my brother, Ben and his girlfriend, Hope, dressed as Michael and Jan; and Eric and I dressed as Jim and Pam.

Here are the 8 bloggers I'm tagging. Of course, there is no pressure to participate - it's just for fun!
