A Pinterest Story: Ode to the Pumpkin

 October is the spotlight month for pumpkins. Any other time of the year and they are just a large orange-y fleshed fruit with an unsightly rind. But 3 months before Christmas, the Pumpkin takes on a whole new meaning. They shine, glisten, sparkle, spook and conjure up the imagination of adults and children alike. Rows upon rows of pumpkins in every shape and size take a hold of October and claim it their time to dress up and take charge.

 The spray painted pumpkins (doubles as a house marker).

 The Initials (glowing).

 The Art Deco.

 The Glam.

 The Bedazzled and Bejeweled.

The Preppy.

The Apartment Complex.

The Sparkles (doubles as a centerpiece).

 And last but certainly not least the Au Naturale.

So their it was...the Ode to the Pumpkin. Thank you Pinterest for allowing the pumpkin its rightful spotlight (all pictures taken from Pinterest).

Insta Haul: Janie & Jack

I cannot resist a sale at Janie & Jack. This store is a weakness of mine. I took advantage of their recent Friends and Family sale this past weekend. Here is a sneak peak of some of the adorable items I picked up for Baby Z. 

1. A mint floral peplum blouse. This will look so sweet with a pair of leggings and in the cooler weather (if we ever get any here) I can easily throw a cardigan or jacket over it.

2. A thick brown corduroy knicker pant, that will be awesome with some cream colored tights underneath since they are cropped. You cant see in this pic but they have some embroidered rose detailing at the cuffs.

3. A sweet lavender sweater top. Its light weight but heavy with cuteness.

4. A white pair of tights with little black polka dots.

I might do a Janie & Jack haul sometime this week.

Tid Bits

No car ride is complete for Baby Z without her toy panda from Disneys Baby Einstein. I dont know if it is the black and white colors or that she simply loves her panda. And as for me, I am loving her little animal print fleece one piece complete with ears on the hood from Carters. It really hasn't been cold enough here yet for any cute winter clothes so on the one cold day we had I jumped at the chance to dress her in it.

Yesterday was my husbands birthday and I ordered this sweet confection from a local bakery. It was the best cake we had ever eaten. It was three layers of vanilla cake with a fresh raspberry filling, topped with a sweet cream layer and then covered in almond flavored green fondant. The bottom of the cake was lightly decorated with almond shavings. Pure heaven.

Here is to more cake and winter weather.
