I did have some links to share with you today, but I can’t stop thinking about everyone who has been affected by Hurricane Sandy, and I thought it was important to acknowledge the terrible aftermath of the storm. The photos have been mind boggling and the stories are just heartbreaking. If you’re looking for ways to help, Charity Navigator is a great place to start, and this link has a list of reputable places to donate.

Just two links for you today:

More rainbows after the storm.

I’m reminded of the importance of having an emergency preparedness kit on hand. Do you have one?

Have a safe, happy weekend everyone.

What are you up to this weekend? Do you have your Halloween pumpkins yet? I haven’t picked up any pumpkins, but I have been enjoying some pumpkin oatmeal muffins with chocolate chips, so that’s starting to get me in the mood for fall (despite this 80 degree weather we’re having). How about you – does it feel like October where you are?

This weekend I’m having a slumber party with some of my girlfriends – I love slumber parties! I’m thinking I might make my creamy pumpkin pasta for dinner… or maybe we’ll just eat ice cream out of the container like we used to do in high school. (PS – My favorite ice cream right now is Chocolate Orange Confetti by Three Twins.) So what are you up to this weekend?

Doesn’t this look like a Wayne Thiebaud painting? It’s a photo of real pies by Sharon Core!

What are you all up to this weekend? I’m heading back East for the wedding of one of my dear TFA friends – nothing quite like an autumn wedding! I’m don’t remember if I felt this way before my own wedding, but now, my favorite part of a wedding is always the ceremony – what a special thing to be invited to witness! And yes, I’m a crier.

What a beautiful image by Lillian Bassman, 1951.

Dying over this dress from Monique Lhuillier.

Triple chocolate hazelnut praline tart. Need I say more.

Loooove these Wendy Mink earrings.

Totally dreamy wedding from Jose Villa.
