Can you believe that it’s October already? The holidays will be here in the blink of an eye. But let’s not worry about that yet; we should enjoy fall while it lasts!
Victorio Apple Peeler, Corer and Slicer: As attractive as it is useful, this tool will minimize the annoying prep associated with apple pies, crisps, and even applesauce.
Smitten Kitchen’s Apple Cider Caramels: Alyssa made this recipe last fall from the Smitten Kitchen Cookbook and they were a huge, huge hit. It’s on the top of our lists of fall food to make. Warning: if you wish to remain blissfully ignorant of just how bad caramel is for you, do NOT click that link!
Free October Desktop Calendars: We love the monthly selection of free desktop calendars from Smashing Magazine. You can choose a Halloween background if you’re excited for the holiday, or pick a beautiful autumn one if you’re not ready to think about your costume yet!
Fall Foliage Wreath: It can’t be denied that changing leaves are one of the most exciting and beautiful parts of the season. This wreath highlights the role leaves play in celebrating fall, but is long-lasting and can be used year after year.
Garnet Hill Flannel Sheets: Time to bring out the flannel sheets! If you don’t have any of these cozy bed clothes full of toasty warmth, head over to Garnet Hill and check out their selection. We love the dot and stripe patterns (of course), but can’t get enough of this Zinnia design. Just lovely!
Crochet Slipper Pattern from Mamachee: Are you a crochet-er? Mamachee offers this easy pattern for a few bucks, perfect for covering all the feet in your house (and maybe keeping your hands busy in preparation for the holidays!) Check out her whole shop here for even more slipper options and even a few darling hats!
