...it’s a beautiful seattle morning, the weekend is here, and i'm totally smitten. her name is laura mckellar (www.lauramckellar.com/), she lives in Australia, and she may very well be my new favourite artist. these pieces {embroidery and digital print on fabric… , truly fantastic!} are based on the ugly duckling by hans christian anderson. sigh…!

of the most beautiful "mor-mor" & sweetest holiday baker, who is still very much missed...

...the cold has set in for real. drinking gallons of tea to keep this scandie warm... facinated lately with the geisha culture, and their famous tea ceremonies. some training for more than 10 years to master the art. i'm intrigued.... but would take a simple bag of chai any day...oh you little cup of joy!

...fun times in the city. no seattle down pour could stop this gang from hitting it up this weekend. capitol hill was costume central all weekend, and since the trick or treaters were glearingly absent (with the exception of 2 cutesy ninjas, princess leia and a bad-ass spiderboy) my house is still on a sugar high...fun times!

...happy halloweekend...

...pumpkin's all around...





...a rainy weekend didnt stop us from heading out to pick this years pumpkins...a little seasonal magic even gave us clear skies as we adventured though the jubilee farm of carnation. wa. the evening was spent with lovely friends and fresh produce from the farm made by the love...sweetness!

...the deadliest (scandie) catch...
