The Pants That Had a Tale of Folklore on Them
No joke...my pants tell a story. It looks like Toile but when you get a little closer...you see children, forests, an old man holding a monkey, and squirrels. So fun! And to think I bought them at Zara!! I'm a dress girl at heart, but if the weather challanges your bare leg approach to life, then you might as well do the cover up with pants like these!

Thanksgiving Weekend
This thanksgiving weekend was AMAZING! It was full of tasty yums, friends & family, pumpkin patches and even a little art!
On Saturday, I was asked by Tim Chan ( editor/founder of the lovely fashion magazine Cordoroy) to be a part of the newly formed MAVRIK MRK, hosted by Mavirk Wine Bar on Queen West. I was one of four vendors who enjoyed this gorgeous, crisp autumn day! The Antique Appetite and Knead Bakery were among the vendors and both had delicious yummies for sale. I purchased and tasted an array of goodies from both and I can honestly say I filled up on desserts the entire day... no regrets on this one!
Saturday evening I headed to Niagara-on-the-Lake to celebrate turkey goodness with Taylor's family. They graciously invited Hilary ( my sister!) along. We spent the entire weekend eating and catching up. We spent all day Monday at Howell's pumpkin patch...which was AMAZING! We went through a corn maze, watched little pigs race, went through a spooky barn, ate pumpkin sausages and homemade kettle corn and I purchased some lovely little pumpkins for the home.
FUNNY STORY INTERLUDE: As you can see from the photos, I wore a darling little red beret, a gift from Taylor's Mom and Dad---a lovely souvenir from their travels to Paris. ( They also brought me back a black one too!)
During the the pig races, they kept calling up all the little children, assigning them to one of the pigs whom all had appropriate piggy names ( Britney Squeal, Hammy Potter) then they would get a little rubber duck for participating. Well during the last round of races, they decided to call upon 4 adults. Well low and behold, my red beret was so bold and bright the lady called me down to the front and assigned me to Hogzilla. We then proceeded to give our best SOOOWEEE and do the hokey pokey in front of the entire crowd. Needless to say, the beret is definitely an eye catcher.
Oh and here are my little pumpkins I picked! I went with the white and Australian blue this year. A little stray from the traditional oranges, but they match my dining nook so well!!

Work it!
So as I've said a kajillion times, I live in a tiny apt. building. So in order to keep it looking clean, smart, and adorable--I clean, organize and paint things in all shades of pastels, primarily mint and peachy pink. ( pale peachy pink is my all time favorite color PS.)
So here is a little glimpse of my working nook. Almost everything you see here was either a)free b)refurbished c) thrifted. Except my iMac and sewing machine.

It's Penny!
It's been awhile since Penny made an appearance on my blog, so I am dedicating this entire post to her and her adorableness!
Obsessed with:
-iPod cords
-balled up socks
-string, yarn, thread ( this almost killed her in Dec. so trust me...all thread and string like things are kept under lock and key)
-cleaning herself
-the bathtub
Diet:
Penny is a very picky eater. She is a light muncher and does not over eat. She eats a steady diet of wet food ( Wellness Turkey) and nibbles on Wellness dry food sometimes during the day and in between meals. We feed her treats a few times a week...My Mighty Lion all Natural treats.
Favorite Toys:
-Her red tunnel
-Kong Wubba rattle
-tennis ball
-Balled up socks
Penny is spoiled. She is a princess and it's all my fault. I wake up every morning without fail around 5-5:30am to feed her her Wet food. I even mush it up nicely and add a bit more water to make it even yummier and sloppier for her.
Her litter box is cleaned out EVERYDAY and I add Arm & Hammer litterbox deodorizer as well. (best thing invented)
She waits by the door for me everyday and zooms out into out apt. hallway. I used to get nervous but now I just let her bound up and down it a few times.
She is super shy around people and even hisses sometimes in defense ( this all stems from her 2 back to back surgies as a kitten..she thinks everyone except Taylor and I are Vets) but she is super lovey dovey and cuddly with us, moreso me.
Have any Penny Questions???
