Deal on Leaf Hair Clips // Brickyard Buffalo

Boy, has this space been quiet the last month. Life has been crazy busy, but I'm hoping to get back into a somewhat regular blogging schedule again soon!

Just wanted to pop by and let ya'll know that I'm running a deal with Brickyard Buffalo this weekend! If you still need some leaf hair accessories to get you in the mood for Fall now is the time to snag some! I love these clips: they are my go-to when my bangs are bugging me. Layered leaf hair clips are on sale for $7.50- that's a huge savings of 37.5%! You'll never see them for this price again! Find them here.

Brand New Leaves Just in Time for Fall.

The leaves are starting to change color, just around the edges. I'm not going to lie, Autumn is my favorite time of year! 

A couple of nights ago as I was falling asleep, I had a vision of a lovely leaf dancing in my head. It was a fleeting moment, and dissolved into my unconscious on my way to sleepy land. 

Often those design ideas are lost forever, but the following afternoon something jogged it into my memory. And wouldn't you know, I had the pattern drawn to scale in one shot! I love it when a plan comes together.

These felt cookie-cutter leaves are framed in a pop of color, and the veins are double stitched (in two different colors) to add interest. They are really unique and so much fun! 

Now available in the shop: pumpkin and golden moss.  

The Daily Galette.

Well, it's Friday again! It is promising to be absolutely lovely here in Pennsylvania this weekend. We'll be having some of those wonderful Autumn days where the sun is hot, but there is a slight nip in the breeze and the sun reflects off of the leaves as they begin to turn orange, yellow, and red. 


I wanted to take a minute to introduce you to my sister, Bethany's, brand new food blog, The Daily Galette! She loves to cook (and grocery shop), and if her dog stays out of mischief long enough, she seems to find plenty of time to have fun in the kitchen. So stop by and take a peek. That photo up above is from her last post, and it makes my mouth water every time I see those perfectly  browned mushrooms.


Also, as per the random number generator, the winner of the flower hair clip is Jeanine of The Crafting Fiend! Thanks to everyone who stopped by.


Have a happy weekend!

Sweet Paul Magazine :: Fall 2011

Just in case you haven't heard yet, the Fall issue of Sweet Paul Magazine is now available for viewing online! As always, it is full of pictures and recipes that make your mouth get all watery. Definitely a drool alert! Perhaps for the first look-through you should be sure to find a quiet corner where no one will see you staring with your mouth open. My favorites are John's Pretzel recipe and the Maple Syrup Baked Pears. Both of these recipes are super simple, and that's important around here! There's plenty of other goodness too; more recipes, stories, and tutorials, so be sure to check it out!

Jump In!

Just in time for fall, I've updated the look of my leaf clips (now bigger and better), and revamped the color combinations a bit! Be sure to stop by the shop and have fun customizing your very own leaf pile.

Cozy Up.

One of the things I love about Autumn is that I can cozy up in cardigans and sweatshirts, but I don't have to wear a heavy winter coat to go to the grocery store.
