Yep, it’s a tiny bowl filled with tiny pine cones (seriously, they’re each approximately the size of a fingertip).

I felt compelled to pick hundreds and scatter them across the mantel. Instead, I gathered five and left the rest for squirrels to throw at one another (that’s what I like to think squirrels do on their days off).

Fall brings open windows and interesting scents.

Poor Franz. He’s been stuck in 1980s beige and gold ever since I rescued him at an estate sale a few years ago.

One trip to Michael’s and $9 later, he’s looking tres dramatique in black and white.

My little green bowls make me smile. Fill them with salsa verde from Trader Joe’s and I’m positively ecstatic.
