October Favorites

By Kate Riley October 29, 2010

Happy Halloween weekend y’all!  Do you have a relaxing weekend planned or is your calendar packed with costume related events?  We happen to fall in the latter category, but the rain is putting a damper on all the festivities planned.  No worries, we’ll just trick-or-treat with our umbrellas and rain boots!

Meanwhile, here’s a few fun and inspirational links that inspired me this month, enjoy!

  1. That spiced pear cake sounds delicious! It’s a rainy day so a good day for staying in and baking. I might tackle that apple butter, too. I hope your kids have a Happy Halloween, Kate.

  2. I just wanted to say that I absolutely love your blog. You are so creative and inspiring and your writing is wonderful and funny! Keep up the good work. I’ve already gotten a few good ideas to refurbish some pieces we were going to throw out! Thank you so much for taking time out of your busy life to share it with the world.

  3. Thank you for the lovely Halloween inspiration, and all the other lovely pics!

    Hoping you are enjoying a fab weekend with or without umbrellas and Wellies..! :)
    We are half way through an action packed and ‘costume clad’ weekend with one more party & more trick-or-treating tomorrow.. Phew!!
    I think that after that, the kids need to have a sugar-free month…!!

    Happy Halloween all the way from Australia!

  4. I’m loving this Oct. roundup of awesome fall ideas. :) Those desserts look so yummy! That bonfire o’ pumpkins is super creative. Melissa’s autumn walk is so pretty-love the colors. It reminds me of the fall season when I lived up North. Now I have to settle for a few acorns falling from our huge oak tree out front and 85 degree temps-different.

  5. I have been obsessed with cute nursery design this month, too! I am due in the spring and plan to fluff my nest and decorate for the new baby all winter. That isn’t perhaps your intention, too??? ;)

  6. These are ALL great. Though I spotted it after halloween … they all still make me smile .. and wish I could slurp the hot chocolate YUUUUMMY looking! Thanks for sharing these!
