I know Halloween is on Sunday, but my little mind is already focused on that impending gift giving holiday.


This year, I'm making a pledge to shop handmade (and vintage) for all my holiday gifts. 


The time is ripe for re-prioritization. 


I am pledging to support independent artists instead of big box shops.

 I am pledging to give quality over quantity.

I am pledging to shop thoughtfully, even if it's easier to shop conveniently. 



And I'm starting now. 

By planning ahead, I know I can find something for everyone in my life, even for all those finicky dudes I know.



{ will you join me? }



pssst! - I'm going to make a nifty button for this. check back next week to pick it up if you'd like to take the pledge, too.



Halloween is almost here!  Why should humans be the only ones to have all the fun? 
Check out these outfits for your furry friends.

Last weekend, the hubbers and I went out to Fall City Farms to pick out some punkins.



Scary scarecrows...



 


Punkins!




 

The hubbers inspecting the merchandise.







Ha ha - I caught you sneaky photog!







A trip to the punkin patch is never complete without cider and donuts. 
(I miss this so much from my hometown in Michigan -- I lived a few miles from 4 different cider mills.  Yeah, we like our apples.)







Yesterday we decided it was time to carve up these bad boys.  The hubbers drew that beautiful tree himself! 
No stencils here, folks.






My punkin is dark green, with lots of scars and marks, so really there was only one thing it could be:
ZOMBIE PUNKIN!
( ps - i updated mine late yesterday. he now has punkin guts dangling from his mouth. will photo soon.) 






We got so excited we had to preview what our punkins would look like lit up. 
We took them to the hall bath for this photo.  : P
