Happy Halloween!!
I hope you do something spooky to celebrate.

I’m officially a half of a year older today and yes, I fully intend to celebrate. Cuppie cakes and candles and polaroids and general joie de vivre. I even bought myself a little pressie. Whoops.

Do you celebrate your half birthday?

Here are some goodies for you:

The prettiest umbrella found on Paisley Petunia

The loveliest flat in Paris. Hopefully my own will be as sweet one day.

Rules for my unborn son

Fleabags are way more gorgeous than they sound.

I told you before that Nichole finds the best stuff, like these cupcake pincushions.

Oh, and she made this insanely awesome Perpetual Paris: a perennial calender/photo collage.

In LOVE with Bookbinders Design that Chelsea posted on {Frolic!}

Emily posted her ShopBop faves. They are some of my faves too.

The Lil Bee now has her own baby bee and is sharing some of her favorite childhood memories.

My favorite ladies over at Paisley Petunia are having a giveaway that’s perfect for this time of year. I will be entering for sure.

I’m not really into doggie Halloween costumes but this is pretty much the best thing ever.

Yay Susannah!

“Four-year-old Paige Bennethum really, really didn’t want her daddy to go to Iraq.
So much so, that when Army Reservist Staff Sgt. Brett Bennethum lined up in formation at his deployment this July,
she couldn’t let go.
No one had the heart to pull her away.”

Guest blogging over at The Lil Bee. Some sweet childhood memories that yes, involve Cinderella and Tequila.

Back in sunny(ish) California, sitting at my desk and thinking of what a wonderful time I had in Utah. It was perfectly sweet and oh man did I laugh a lot. Photos to come soon.

Oh how I love you

Rob Brezsny writes the best horoscopes. This is mine:

Right now you’re like a sulking cherry tree that hasn’t bloomed for years but then inexplicably erupts with pink flowers in mid-autumn. You’re like a child prodigy who lost her mojo for a while and then suddenly recovers it when her old mentor comes back into her life after a long absence. You’re like a dormant volcano that without any warning spurts out a round of seemingly prophetic smoke signals on the eve of a great victory for the whole world.

Get yours here.
