Back in the saddle

American Girl

I find many moments I want to document my life with a snapshot.

This day was one of those.

Nothing eventful, out of the norm, or particularly spectacular happened.

It was just an average yet wonderful day.

I didn't dress up in any fancy manner, but I felt so at home

in the knit layers on a cold crisp day.

I saw a friend from out of town and we hit up the art gallery.

I was given a precious acorn pendant by an artist I admire.

I spend the late evening unwinding with wine and good company.

It was just a splendid day,

and I felt it should be preserved.~

Halloween 2014

I may complain about how the way they put Christmas stuff out before

Halloween, but I couldn't resist doing the leg lamp from

A Christmas Story as my costume this year.

It served me well and brought me to my second win in a row

for the Uptowner costume contest. 

The costume was completely homemade,

thanks to a ton of help from my neighbor Dave,

and even included a working light.

I hope to go for the third win next year.

Halloween is by far my favorite holiday,

and I hope you all had a spooktacular time this year~
