sleep tight
layers of crisp cotton and petal patterns
the place my younger sister dreams when she is home for a break from long days of lecture, studying, notes, new information... a student of medicine
we delight in her visits and respect this sanctuary of sleep that replenishes her
today while visiting with my mom I passed by and couldn't resist capturing the perfectly rumpled blankets washed in yellow sunshine as the sun was setting for the day
sweet dreams.

once upon a time...
...there was a beautiful, loving, giggly family with one ticklish baby, a princess daughter who wore golden shoes, and two happy parents.
I had the pleasure of photographing this very special family today. They came with smiles, cuddles, laughter and costumes, yes, very very adorable, indeed.
So while photographing quiet moments and chubby cheeks, leaves were literally falling all around us. A perfectly wonderful photo shoot to start this beautiful season! {thank you!}
friday + saturday
a few days in bed with a cold, tiny dancer purring above my head, warm tea with honey, sleep and more sleep...so nice to be feeling better again
*To win a new apron enter the Sassy Chef Apron giveaway before 9/28!

sugar + a wish
yesterday
autumn said a very dainty hello.
{9.22 to 9.23}
This morning Case woke up one year older than he was when he went to bed. But not too old for fruity pebble treats to share at work, a garland with sweet notes (one for each happy year), lots of happy birthday wishes, a polaroid of his birthday self, cards arriving in the mail, his desk decorated in streamers, and later...dinner out, presents and a banana cake with milk chocolate frosting and walnuts
Happy Birthday Case!
♡

boo
Hermie curled right up in my lap and heart five years ago today.
In celebration, today has been full of Hermie's favorite things...chopped up carrot on his breakfast, snuggling, a car ride, a new harness, laying in the sun, kisses, an apple carrot cupcake and an evening walk.
Happy Birthday little guy!
*the apron giveaway is still going on until 9.28, good luck*

a giveaway...
My friend Lisa from Sassy Chef Aprons designs and collects cute aprons. She has run her online shop since 2007, ever since she found an adorable apron in a small boutique. Inspired, she began creating similar aprons with her signature "sass." She is a talented designer, a German Chocolate cake baker and has an eye for ruffles, buttons, trims, color and shapes that flatter all figures.
Cute aprons and baking go together, I love this new designer apron from Lisa's shop.
Today I wore a Sassy Chef Aprons original, the Haiku, one of Lisa's personal favorites.
I am hosting a giveaway, whereby one lucky entrant will win a Gloveables Blue Dot Laminated Apron and Gloves set, courtesy of Sassy Chef Aprons.
Here are the details:

a soft purr
of slippered feet across the floor, heavy whipping cream whipped into peaks, a chilly breeze on Saturday morning, the sheets turning in the dryer, a kitten curled up with Mom, the hummingbird perched on a tiny branch just his size, the neighbor sweeping her front patio and my mind lost in memories of nine years ago, the before and the after.

something beautiful.
I walked under this fountain of yellow and green yesterday while in deep conversation with a dear friend. The green whiskers caught us by surprise and my friend paused and exclaimed how very beautiful the tree was.
Then I thought about my friend and the tree later that night. Today I tucked my camera in my bag and stopped to photograph it, this lovely creature growing beside the road, who just yesterday gently brushed the tops of our heads as we passed by.

made
Today I made my first two batches of granola bars. The first batch is Summer Harvest, as they consist of honey, peaches, apricots and apples. The second batch (not pictured, still cooling) is made up of grain sweetened chocolate and dried bing cherries, maybe they could be called Sweet Bings.

early morning
when the whole day is before you and maybe anything is possible...
We were hoping it would be possible to keep Biddy kitty with us for many more days. It was not. Today we said goodbye. Biddy kitty won't be opening doors anymore or peeking around corners only the way Biddy could. His perfectly beautiful face and spirit will always be with us. Amid tears, hugs, Biddy stories, Michael Jackson music and Mom's chocolate chip cookies we celebrate and remember our kitty Biddy.

beneath
the single flip flop that sat in the middle of the kitchen was a smooshed spider, left for Case
Spider season. Two spiders under flip flops in two days, then this beauty in the jasmine this morning. A yellow garden spider moved in. She is harmless besides the restless sleeps she causes with her creepy long legs and big round fat body, crawling into dreams and lurking into thoughts...but yes, otherwise harmless. She makes sacks of babies in the night and is very picky about her mates, she recycles her web and has a creative spark with her zig zag seams made from silk. I like her just as she is, outside.
something else beautiful for your saturday...the wilderness downtown
p.s. she eats bugs
