before we even set sail for the caribbean, I just knew autumn would be the toughest season away. away from the turning leaves, the warm sun on a cool day, the wooly socks, the hot apple cider, and all the other good things that come when the sun decides to sleep in a bit later. well, it's officially october and boy, am I feeling it! I don't think I've ever been so antsy. it's probably not healthy, but sometimes I just like to slip into reverie imagining that I'm curled up in a soft and cool duvet sipping on apple cider and watching the wind bustle the leaves around outside. in my book, that is pure bliss.  though, maybe I should correct myself because I slipped into this reverie whilst having my blood pressure taken and it ended up being higher! so I guess the term I'm looking for is excitement, rather than bliss. above, I've listed several other first-week-of-october wants--

that apron! oh, that apron. I love the texture, the color, and the leather detailing. I think I've mentioned before that I can spot the most expensive item on the shelf. it's a gift of mine. well, case and point. and those wellies. these have been on my wishlist for many, many years. I can just picture me harvesting our little garden come october in those boots. and then wearing them everywhere else, of course. now, I'm a sucker for cookery books of all sorts, and I'm pretty excited for this one to hit the stands october 14. you can preorder here. that hudson's bay scarf is actually pretty near and dear to my heart. those candy stripes ( and in this case, plaid ) are sort of my dad's and my thing and I would love to add it to my collection of bay attire. the parachute sheets, on the other hand, are something totally foreign to me. I actually just heard about this brand last week thanks to emily and I am super tempted to splurge on some luxury linen to make lounging in bed with hot cider a little more soft and regal. and really, what would that idyllic reverie, or all of fall, for that matter, be without plenty of yummy candles and some fun, eclectic mugs? no fall at all, in my opinion. no fall at all.

I wish you all the coolish temperatures in the world and a few really good walks. I wish you warm drinks and cold noses, someone to share it with, and all of the beautiful little things that come of fall. I hope your wednesdays are wonderful and thank you so much for following along with this little blog! it really does mean so much.

love, arielle
