Happy Halloween

This weekend a friend and I headed north to the Long Beach Antique Market. I didn't find everything I wanted, but I did spot a pretty lovely tray that fits my new ottoman perfectly {despite having finally found a place for my Missoni tray}, and a new nightstand for our guest bedroom {at a steal for just $10!} I'm still trying to convince the boy on that one.

Last night we took apart a pumpkin for a new recipe, and while I mashed it up I toasted up some pumpkin seeds for the ultimate holiday snack. On the table are a few seasonal decor items that I'll need to replace once Thanksgiving is over. Here's hoping that they last longer than my carved friend (he's now made a home in our front porch). Happy Halloween!

Weekend Bits

Though I wasn't expecting much this weekend (having just returned from NYC), I managed to sneak in a DIY project {inspiration a la Glitter Guide}, pluck apples in Julian, pick a home for my Missoni tray from Target, search for pumpkins at a patch and explore a haunted trail. Since fall officially rolled in this weekend, noted by an absence of beachgoers, it was the perfect weekend to {finally} welcome San Diego to autumn.

Only in New York can you have a Magnolia Cupcake for breakfast and be totally okay with it.

Thanks to Foursquare, Twitter, Facebook and all other social media means out there, it was pretty obvious how every minute was organized during my NYC trip (aside from the few locations I didn't mention, but those can be found via my friend)
