much love monday.

i like to use monday as a way to reflect on the previous week, to start anew, and to send a little love into the world.  won't you join me?    

today i am grateful for:

a great clean-out-and-get-things-done kind of a weekend, and a fun emmy's night with c (although he watched the patriots game on his computer most of the time.  could we be more of a stereotype?!) 

pictures worth a thousand words:

{dahlias from the green city market}

{fall decorating in full swing (and now enjoying the dried version of sister's wedding flowers!)}

 {yes, more pumpkins!}

{after 6 years with my dell, i finally made the switch to mac.  it's been quite the learning experience, still working through it!}

this week's blog love:   

• adored lox papers' ode to the first day of autumn!
• a great and easy tutorial on turning inexpensive rhinestone jewelry into fun, colorful pieces with nail polish on papery and cakery.
• miel et la lune shares her trip into montmarte, where she stumbled onto amelie's cafe!
• hip hip gin gin featured my absolute favorite dress from this year's nyfw.  i'll bet you know the one.
• and finally, some really poignant thoughts from the girl who stole the eiffel tower  on separating ourselves from the trends.

here's to another grateful and love-filled week.
