:: It's the little things::oct.28



This week we have had the most beautiful weather as well as some really gross stuff going on. Like darkness and rain and little ice pellets (why do I always forget my umbrella during times like these?). Linking up with Lindsey from Aisle to Aloha- recounting the little things that brought joy to our lives this week. Here are a couple of mine:



Before the icky weather set in, Karl and I took a little trip down the road to a park/farm/cool place. This "park" had a mini farm but also a greenhouse, a (large) garden, bee-keeping/hives, a horse, cow, donkey goats, sheep, geese, chickens, lamas, turkeys...(am I forgetting something? oh yes, pigs.) It's really cool because it's a public farm where you can go walk around during certain hours, but there's also a family who lives there and takes care of the animals/keeps a garden/bees/. You can even buy fresh eggs there. Which I think is pretty cool for being in the middle of a city. Oh yes, my camera died after 2 minutes worth of pictures. sorry 'bout that.




not sure why you would want to keep a llama on a farm....milk? wool? anyways, I love how all the animals graze together and get along: llamas, goats, sheep, horse, donkey.... :)



Trader Joes. so love going grocery shopping there. originally went there to get these apples.


ended up getting all this stuff too. i'm not very good with sticking to my grocery list.


I'm especially excited for this stuff: i know i could have made it myself, but it wouldn't have looked this cute.

went on a walk. love crunching leaves underfoot.


(on my walk) found these interesting flowers (?)


sold this headband in my etsy shop this week and shipped it off to croatia! (how fun)


{pretty} bottles {to look at}
  {pretty} smells {for when I've sauteed 100 onions and then must go out in public}
{pretty} hair oil {for everyday that my hair has a life of it's own. which is every.day.}


Happy friday everyone!

  8. I would LOVE to have a Trader Joe's close by! The closest one to me is in Georgia. But, honestly, it might be a good thing there isn't one close. The $2 buck chuck wine would not work out well. :) Love the pretty fall colors and the farm!

  9. I would love ANY advice you have about Maryland. I tried to email you but I dont think your email is hooked up to your profile (unless of course I am doing it wrong which is highly likely). I am going to start following you!
