Let it Fall

The first feeling of Fall weather made me accept that Summer is pretty much over (I knowww there's technically 5 days left). So I decided to go to one of my favorite spots in Delco, Linvilla Orchard, to pick up some fall decor.  Even with it's overcrowding and commercialism feel, it is one place that reminds me of home. Autumn in Reading as a kid was a time to go to the local orchard for apple pies, and all of the road-side stands of local farmers to pick out my favorite gourds, pumpkins, and indian corn to help my mom with her decorating.

Last year, I went to Linvilla closer to Halloween with the mission of picking up pumpkins and also ended up finding the necessary ingredients to  decorate our "stoop" in Manayunk. The decorations ended up being something that I looked forward to seeing when I came home, so this year I chose to go for the decorations first, and decided I'll worry about the pumpkins and carving later.

Lastly,  I wanted to get a gift for a friend of mums and a nice plant pot to put them in. I came across this adorable mug. I was really excited about how it looked, and found a couple of similar mugs on Etsy if you like the combo.

Makes Me Smile

The past two weeks with school getting into full swing have been a complete blur. The only thing that I felt would be appropriate to blog about are the things that are currently making me smile.
