{much love monday} nov. 5, 2012.

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 fabulously relaxing weekend: sleeping in, catching up on the dvr, cheering on ND to a triple overtime win to remain undefeated (!), and some sunday window shopping in lincoln park.  and hey, i survived (barely!) that first 7 mile run i mentioned on friday.

pictures worth a thousand words:

{these perfect november flowers make me smile every time i look at them on our coffee table}

 {mulled cider on halloween night with friends}

 {pumpkins made on halloween night at our little get-together}

 {kinda in love with this haunted-looking house in lincoln park}

{my gold-painted pumpkin.  next time - i'll use tape to make some nicer lines, whoops!}

{christmas is coming, whether i'm ready or not!}

this week's blog love:  

• so jealous of oh hello friend's recent trip to the Downton Abbey manor: Highclere Castle.
• how gorgeous was Taylor Sterling's (of The Glitter Guide) wedding on 100 Layer Cake?!
• pretty obsessed with the fall flowers featured here by the sweetest occasion.
• similarly, camille styles' thanksgiving table is pretty fabulous.  

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

xo. di.
