I absolutely adore this time of the year. The scent of spiced pumpkin in the air, hot lattes to warm me up in the morning, and boots and scarves galore.
Oh wait.
California is still running in the high 80's. This weather is totally unacceptable for Fall, CALIFORNIA.
The last few weeks (along with the following upcoming weeks) have been 200% filled with hanging out with friends to celebrate the entrance into this Thanksgiving season. From pumpkin carving contests to our first dinner party (that Daniel mentioned in his last blog) to Halloween dinner with some friends, we've definitely been enjoying life! Oh, and of course, some photos from last night's dinner with our good friends, Pat and Lynnia. (TOTALLY should've taken some photos of our actual friends, but I'm a dork and was so impressed with the presentation of Lynnia's cooking, that it's all I got photos of!)

| Melon wrapped in prosciutto and seasoned. SO DELISH. |

| Lasagna. Again, freaking delicious. |

| Homemade Bourbon Pecan Pie and whipped topping |
NOW...back to the wedding planning. Le sigh.
Current project: finding a suitable centerpiece
Current materials: Valspar frosted spray paint, clear glass jars, and...maybe some twine to jazz things up
 |
| Grabbed my jar of valspar and cleaned off of a marinara mason jar. (To clean off the 'goo' residue from stickers, simply rub an 'oil' of your choice---I used coconut oil---and the goo typically has no issues removing itself!) |
 |
| After a few coats of frosted valspar spray paint! |
 |
| I removed the labels and goo off this tequila jar and tightly wrapped twine string around the neck to create this look! Easy peezy! |

| Playing around with ideas! (Flowers to go in the frosted mason jar) |
AHHHH. So fun. I've also been talking to my sister about the bridal shower she's throwing me. (Roaring 20's themed bridal shower? Don't mind if I do!)
We're getting there, folks. T-minus 4 months and 23 days till the wedding. Phew.
And with that, I leave you all with a photo of bambi. Seriously, seriously in love with this little bugger.
