day tripper : pumpkin patch

I cannot endure to waste anything as precious as autumn sunshine by staying in the house. So I spend almost all the daylight hours in the open air.

Fall weather this weekend..sunny, 70, and breezy! We took a day trip to the farm and had a perfect weekend full of a few of our favorite fall traditions. Pumpkin picking and pie baking. We'll be carving them up soon..can't wait for roasted seeds! I'm so glad we spent the weekend outside, it's going to be in the 50's this week..ugh.

We found our perfect pumpkins!

My vintage plant stand serves as an impromptu pie rack..these turned out amazing! I can't wait to share my recipe with you!

I hope everyone had a lovely weekend!

We haven't had a chance to visit the pumpkin patch yet and I hoping to find some time to go next week.  It's one of our favorite fall traditions, we go every year!  I'm loving the pretty fall leaves everywhere. We walked to the chili cook off on main street and there were tons all over the sidewalks..they have such a satisfying crunch haha.  Crisp air+crunchy leaves+ chili=perfection.

                                                              

My bangs are in that awkward too long stage..not sure what I want to do with them yet. I always get stir crazy when the seasons change and start trying to change my hair style/color!

I really wanted to see the midnight showing of The NeverEnding Story at the historic Tivoli theater in St.Louis but I ended up falling asleep and missing it! Drat. This is one of my favorite childhood movies and Atreyu may have been my very first crush.  We ended up seeing "Our Idiot Brother" the next day at the little old theater in town. As we were coming up the deck our little hummingbird friend fluttered about around the empty feeder. He was pretty sad about the lack of nectar and zipped away after just a few seconds as I scrambled to grab my camera. I'll catch that bird on film one day!

I hope everyone had a lovely weekend!

It was a little gloomy doomy around here so I mostly hung out inside watching movies and taking care of Luke..he was feeling sicky, poor hubby.  "Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day" is one of my favorites, it's set in 1930's London and has the most amazing set/wardrobe ever..I adore everything! 

this is the most amazing strawberry ale, so good!

splashed around in the rain a bit

The weather was ahmazing this weekend so we spent a lot of time outside doing all the fun things it's usually too hot to do! The fair was in town so we stopped in for a while to check it out but I was most excited about the funnel cake..topped with Bavarian creme and strawberries, omg. Def a once a year thing, we couldn't even finish it! I loved all of the animals at the petting zoo and I may have rushed in front of a small child to pet the baby pig and mini horse. I want to have a farm one day with only short animals..tall things scare me and there was a slightly creepy uncle sam dude on stilts that snuck up behind me..they can smell fear haha! 

i wore my favorite plaid shirt from the 50's, i adore the puff sleeves and pan collar

one of my favorites, i loved this one as a kid!

I took Clementine out for a long bike ride and a picnic at the park, it was so nice to just sit under the trees and catch up on some of my vintage books. We've collected so many but I can never seem to find time to just relax and read, I love the smell of the old pages and the crack of a dusty spine. I wish every summer weekend was this amazing, can you believe it's already the middle of August?!

Clementine got quite the workout..so did my thighs

I hope everyone had a fun weekend!

This weekend was spent catching up on some z's and hanging out in town. Luke and I went to the local historic theater along with my mom and brother to see the new planet of the apes movie. I'm not usually a fan of cg heavy movies but I really liked it! I had every intention of heading out late that night to see a friends band play at one of our favorite bars on main st. but I fell asleep!

 
This dinner was so delicious, perfect for a warm summer night!



I hope everyone had a lovely weekend!

 cheer up,sleepy!

So I woke up today feeling so run down and tired after working on pieces until 3am last night..I had more work to do this morning and I couldn't wait to get some time for myself. With Luke working a rare night shift and my friends busy with family plans I had the rest of the day to do whatever I wanted. When I was finally finished with my projects I took a bath until I turned wrinkly,got dressed,and did my hair and makeup. Even though it was just me and the animals today and no one to impress, the getting ready put me in such a good mood! I'd been cooped up in the house for the past few days and was getting a bit stir crazy so I hopped on my bike and road around downtown for a bit before stopping to pick up some lunch. Milk maid braids,florals,peter pan collars,and pink lipstick make me happy!

                     

The rest of the night was spent watching Pretty Women,Strange Addiction, and How I met your Mother..it was one of those random tv nights.

Baxter's hanging out in the living room tonight too!

I hope everyone is having a great weekend so far!
