Stormy Days

We've had a good amount of rain & chillier days here this week. I love autumn weather and gladly put on a wrappy sweater & my Hunter boots to head out. Today I posted these three items on Pinterest and when I peeked back at my pins I noticed a common theme....lots of grey, black and white. Maybe weather inspired? I'm not certain... but I am loving the evening fires and harvest spice tea that come with this cozy time of year.... xoxo

Cocoa & Sugar

I don't buy a lot of jewelry on line. Usually I need to see a piece of jewelry in person, feels its weight, how it drapes. I love very simple lines and warm colors. However, I recently found this amazing artist on Etsy and I purchased this beautiful gold and cocoa pendant necklace. I love the extra long length, the subtly lustre...everything about it. Perfect with a deep v-neck sweater. It's my favorite piece for fall! 

The artist has so many beautiful items....these earrings are stunning as well! The druzy stone reminds me of sugar crackle on creme brulee.....xoxo

Just Lovely

After a night of a bit too much drama, I'm watching football and knitting. And looking for pretty yarn. Pretty yarn will equal pretty thoughts....and hence...no more drama!! So, this is what I came across: a perfect mohair from Feel Good Yarn Co. This two-ply Tajik Kid Mohair has a beautiful luster and softness. It's just simply lovely. Happy Knitting! xoxo

Oktoberfest

Hooray...October is finally here! I just found a perfect autumn hued, hand spun yarn on Etsy, bought some Butter Toffee coffee and I'm starting a great new book for book club....happy!

From the shop Livingcloth: Love this amazing bulky merino wool yarn! Take a peek here for yardage & exact fiber content.

Knitting Pattern Idea

I love everything about this stunning lace wrap! Such a warm & cozy burnt orange color, beautiful detailing....just ideal for autumn! I came across this pattern on Etsy in the California based shop FickleKnitter....the pattern is available to purchase and download (it has been tech edited and tested.) What a great project to kick off fall. Happy Knitting! xoxo

Beautiful wrap pattern can be purchased from FickleKnitter.

Love these....

I am addicted to fingerless gloves. They are a perfect knitting project....you can use your creativity, play with color combinations, experiment with texture and, best of all, they knit up quick. I recently came across this pattern on Ravelry...it's published by Mac & Me. It's not a free pattern but it caught my eye immediately. Knit with sport weight yarn with small needles, these fingerless gloves are beautiful. I love this artists work...these gloves are my new favorites! Happy Knitting! xoxo

Perfection! This pattern can be purchased on Ravelry.

All Things Pumpkin

I could lose myself for hours in Williams Sonoma. Come fall....it's like a heaven of all things spicy and pumpkin! I love this Napa Valley Pumpkin Seed Brittle....it's a perfect, yummy blend of pumpkin spice and Indonesian vanilla.

Love these great upcycled pumpkins from Whimsys Workshop on Etsy....super clever & cozy looking! Happy Autumn! xoxo
