My Cute Little Pumpkin

"I would rather sit on a pumpkin and have it all to myself, than be crowded on a velvet cushion."

~Henry David Thoreau

Fall Inspirations

How I stay inspired during the fall...

 

Paint your nails fall colors. Here are two of my favorite colors. 

The "It" Color by OPI and Smokin Hot by Essie.

 Wear some of your favorite fall shirts or sweaters. I just found this shirt for $6 at a local vintage shop. It is real wool and it was made in Scotland.

Play with cute animals or little kids lol.

 Plan fun little trips not too far from home. A park, a lake, or even a library.

I also make sure I have cute shoes on while on my adventures.

 

Listen to fall music. I found these CD's at a local secondhand bookstore. They were free because I earned store credit for selling my books :) Gillian Welch and Shovels and Rope.

 Light cozy scented candles.

 Read your favorite authors. I love Robert Frost and Emily Dickinson especially in the fall.

 

 Drink tea, lattes, coffee from your favorite mugs:) It's tradition for Meag and me to get 4 of the same cups and give two to the other person. This way we think of each other when we drink from it.  I got these for like $5 at a local antique shop.

Wear fun hats! Meag got me this one and I love it!!

Beautiful September Morning

I woke up this morning and this is what I saw...

“The tints of autumn...a mighty flower garden blossoming under the spell of the enchanter, frost.”
― John Greenleaf Whittier

September Song by Kate Wolf

In honor of September....She talks about the Blue Ridge Mountains and Roanoke.

Makes me miss home. We always pass through there on our way back to MD.

Morning Yoga

Starting my morning off with some yoga.

 Favorite coffee/tea mug.

 Look how beautiful the spiced tea box from Trader Joe's is...not to mention the tea tastes amazing.

 Got my new autumn candle from BB&B.

Here is the video I used today.
