Happy Halloween!

via StyleCaster

Happy Halloween! I hope you have fun party plans & cute costumes to wear! Halloween is pretty low key for us. We never get trick-or-treaters in our mountain neighborhood, which is kind of sad because I love giving out candy & seeing all of the costumes. I'll just give our pup extra treats for his tricks this evening :) And how adorable are the pumpkins above?! I'm not the greatest pumpkin carver, so these are much more my style. Have a safe & fun Halloween friends!


Here are a few Halloween-related Pinterest links that caught my eye this week:


How to make spider webs from trash bags.

10 free bat printable templates.

Love these black cat-o-lanterns!

These Gingerbread Skeleton Cookies are so cute.

Happy Friday!

'Hippie on the Road' via Tumblr

Happy Friday, friends! Looking forward to the weekend after a busy week here. I'm working on a shop update for early November, with lots of new boho jewelry + items that would make great gifts to give for the holidays. In the meantime, have a wonderful weekend!


Here is what caught my eye this week:


I made this Pasta with Italian Sausage & Tomato Cream Sauce recipe this week. Super yummy + good comfort food! I used gluten free penne pasta instead of farfalle, and organic fire-roasted diced tomatoes instead of crushed tomatoes.

These tribal butter spreaders are going on my Christmas wish list!

This looks like a cozy space to curl up & knit.

Have a pup? I bet they would love these homemade natural dog treats! {I've made dog treats in the past; they are super easy to make & pups always love them!}

I wish I had one of these cool tooth fairy teepee pillows when I was a kid.

This work space is inspiring me to simplify my studio.

Autumn Scenes from Rollins Pass

We took a drive up Rollins Pass & hiked around a few weeks ago, before the wind blew the brilliant golden leaves away. It is a beautiful spot for a Fall color tour; I highly recommend it if you have a 4WD vehicle. There is also free camping, and you can hike or mountain bike over the divide to Winter Park. We went fishing at Jenny Lake, but didn't catch anything (although people across the lake caught two fish while we were there). This is a great day trip if you are in the Denver Metro area, or touring along the Peak to Peak highway.

Sweet Somethings {A Gift Guide}

Sweet Somethings {A Gift Guide}

I absolutely love shopping for Christmas gifts for family & friends. I'm not one to procrastinate in the gift giving area, so I've already started gathering gift ideas. Etsy is one of my secrets to finding unique gifts that are always a hit.

I thought it would be fun to create gift guides for the holiday season to share with you. I will post a weekly Etsy gift guide, and hopefully it will help give you inspiration & ideas for your holiday gifting this year. The first gift guide, Sweet Somethings, is a collection of my favorite 'sweet' finds that would make really lovely gifts.

Where do you like to shop for gifts?
