hope everyone had a terrific thanksgiving! i still seem to be dreaming of my mom's homemade pecan and pumpkin pies...

fall weather means sweaters and eating outside at homeroom for mac n cheese.

great packaging from totokaelo

the best birthday present i discovered on saturday morning.

contemplating buying a pair (or two) of happy socks. does anyone out there own a pair? are they worthwhile at $10-15 a pair?

if only every lecture we attended included a beautiful spread of family-style munchies - in this case, spring rolls and organic, local coute de te.

bi-rite was across the street from the lecture, hosted by 18 reasons. i'd love to stop and peruse the market sometime.

oh, it has been a busy past couple of weeks! where to start? i've been nursing a cold and cough with a lot of home cooking and knitting projects (above). the holidays are just around the corner and i'm beginning to wonder if i can complete all of the gifts i initially set out to make. i'm not feeling the stress... yet.
