{ happy halloweekend }

Yes, that is moi in the bunny costume...circa 1970s something. I absolutely loved celebrating Halloween as a child, didn't you? My mom made all of my costumes and I vividly remember each one. This year, my daughter's going to be an astronaut thanks to our amazing visit this summer to the National Air and Space Museum in Washington D.C.

What are your halloween plans...I'd love to hear about your and/or your kiddos' costumes. Whatever your plans...enjoy!!!

Psst: Have you seen these little gems yet? I absolutely love the idea. I think everyone on my Christmas list will be receiving one this year.

{ life...unplugged }

It's amazing what can happen when the power goes out for a couple of hours...

I'm reminded of the importance of creating unplugged time every once in awhile. It's not always as easy as it sounds, but the payoff is priceless!

{ perpetually perfect... }

I tweeted*** about this project earlier, but it's just too good to not also share it here. I've gushed about these talented lovebirds before, but I think their latest creation is my absolute favorite. Using photos they took from their travels and brief residence in Paris earlier in the year, Nichole and Evan Robertson from Little Brown Pen created this amazing perpetual calendar. You can purchase it from their shops here and here and also learn about the creative process via their blog (that they took the time to share the details with us makes me love them even more). Enjoy!

***P.S. Are you on Twitter? If so, I'd love to connect with you. You will often find me sharing some my favorite finds there as well.

A quick little post to share these sweet paper goods from etsy shop, 3 point 5 dollars, based in Japan. And yes...everything in the shop is $3.50. Thinking cute stocking stuffers...

Thank you for all of your sweet and thoughtful comments. I'm working my way back to regular posting here on S.HOPtalk. :) Have a great week!
