Gourmet Magazine- Fall yumminess!



Is yumminess a word? Anyway, while grocery shopping today saw the newest issue of Gourmet magazine (I am not a foodie- I don't cook very much or very well- maybe as I grow wiser..) Okay so I was attracted to it by the cover and the caption "the ultimate harvest cookbook" just think they might be able to tell me what I can do with all of those cool looking veggies that I see and pass up at the farmers market... Aside from the great job they did at pulling me in they had the most gorgeous photos inside. Here are just a few (and these are just the food- boo).



This was all preceded by a walk through the woods- just beautiful. Check it out in print or see some more cool food pictures here.

Blog hopping... letterpress, wife of an artist


So in all my hopping this week I have seen so many wonderful things!! I stumbled upon a fun new blog The wife of an artist which led me to Studio on fire- and made me realize that you can take classes to learn the art of letterpress printing (the real question is will I take the time)!!! Sounds like so much fun and it supports my long time obsession with letters, cards and the mail! Here's a little taste...

ilE AiYE Knitted pieces


I was just clicking through Etsy and discovered this- loving these! I am a big fan of jeans or pants with a simple tank and a great sweater... I am so ready for fall. ilE AiYE is a self taught knitter who uses 80% discontinued and recycled yarns to make her pieces. Each one is a piece of Art!! She makes hats, scarves, sweaters.... Check out her shop on Etsy here. She is based out of London and ships anywhere.




Could these pieces be more gorgeous??
