I will always love Toast’s nightwear section.  They’re the reason why I’ve been daydreaming of thin-pinstriped pajama pants for over two years now.  Putting “comfy pj’s” to the top of my holiday wishlist.  As someone who works from home half of the work week, I can tell you… good pajamas are imperative!

Today was nothing but absolutely nutty for me; everything that could possibly go wrong while printing – did.  Well, okay… maybe not EVERYTHING, but it sure felt like it.  Came home and saw this desk space from Lobster & Swan and immediately felt relief, if even for a moment.  Someday, I will have a workspace of my own and keep it clean and organized.  Someday.  Today, I really love this image.

I’ve done it. I’ve finally taken the plunge and joined Pinterest. I’ve gotten a slew of invites over the last year or so and was very consciously holding out. It’s just one more thing you have to maintain and update (when I already feel maxed out at times), and knowing me and being honest… a distraction from getting work done during the day.

I just started so it’s still very sparse, but you’re welcome to follow me and help me build more boards. And now my view on it has flipped and I thought “why haven’t I done this sooner?!” – I keep a folder of inspiration on my computer which is getting overloaded with files, so much that it’s becoming hard to go through.  I could’ve done the same thing I already do, but keep it all organized and saved on Pinterest a lot sooner.  Onward and upward, I guess!

I love the feeling of this photo (from almost a year ago, via From Me to You).  It really captures the natural light from this time of year.  So sad to have to change the clocks back this weekend; just means it’s going to get darker, earlier.

What do you have planned for the weekend?  I’m busy most of today trying to wrap up projects, but thankfully I’ll have some good time with family for most of the weekend (including one of my favorite people flying in from Canada!).  Hope whatever you have planned, you have a great first weekend of November.

This past weekend I stopped into Fancy That while they were having an open house.  Had to share these photos – they have such an amazing space and wonderful china.  If you’re in the area, you really should stop in!

Some photos from Kyle’s visit to the AS220 Print Shop tonight.  Very cool idea to see a letterpress shop on wheels!

Love this last photo, a map with red pins that show everywhere the type truck has been thus far!  Best of luck with your letterpress travels, Kyle!

I went apple picking last week and it was a really nice afternoon outside.  The weather was perfect, super sunny with a clear blue sky and just warm enough (but still fallish).  Not sure why I do this, but every year I always bring home a ridiculous amount of apples, like I’m a squirrel stocking up for winter.  Unfortunately I’ve been so busy this week that I haven’t made any desserts yet.  I did, however, make my favorite butternut squash & apple soup recipe (via Simply Recipes) since it’s so quick but still haven’t gotten to eat any!  As soon as it cooled I had to run to the shop and print way into the night.  Hoping to make some apple crisp this weekend…

This may be one of the most cute, most fun, DIY ideas I’ve seen in a long time.  Mini pinatas?  Don’t mind if I do.  Thanks for sharing, Jordan!

Came across Fentimans Sodas the other day and first noticed their lovely vintage typography.  Then stopped to check them out and noticed their flavors… Victorian Lemonade with juniper and ginger, Rose Lemonade, Dandelion & Burdock, Shandy (which I’ve heard about but have yet to try), just to name a few.  Now my interest has been peaked and I plan on trying a lot of them!
