Snapshots

Hello there all,

Here is the last week in review because a picture is a lot better than reading a thousand words

1.)

2.)

3.)

4.)

5.)

6.)

7.)

8.)

The Sitch on the pictures:

1.) My brother and my nephew being adorable with each other while we were all out having dinner for my other nephew's and my birthday.
2.) An adorable beer can bicycle that the mister made me. It was originally a part of the birthday scavenger hunt, but he liked it too much to wait to give it away.
3.) I cracked the Mister's Mulan cherry. We then learned all about how your duty is to your heart in Mulan 2.
4.) I am slllllowly getting the hang of my sewing machine.
5.) This week has been a particularly rough week on public transportation and I. This is why I wrote the article about surviving the commute: as a reminder for me.
6.) Remember, Remember the 5th of November.
7.) The boy knows the way to this fat girl's heart: donuts.
8.) A big highlight for me was Growler's Hawthorne AND Ft. George retweeting, favoriting, and responding to a tweet about this blog. The little things.

Hope you have a good rest of your week,
Autumn

Birthday 2014

Hello there all,

Another year lived, another year older. I am now the big 2-8. Yes, I know that it might sound old OR young to you, but I have to say that I cannot believe that I am 28. It sounds so incredibly close to 29 which is deadly close to 30. Growing up, I never thought that I would be shaken by getting close to 30, but here I am slightly freaking out. I still can't believe that I have fooled others into believing that I am an adult. However, I promise you that I am the dictionary definition of an adult, but I am still not a grown up. How could I be a grown up? But I am a little frightened that my young self might think I am. How did I get here?

Anyways, this is how I celebrated the glorious day:

Ate some delicious breakfast noms with my love at Pine State Biscuits.

Some beer sampling at Growler's Hawthorne.

Did an obscene amount of thrifting. We made away with some amazing deals today, and I mean ridiculously amazing deals. It was some of our best work.

The Mister surprised me with a sweet scavenger hunt. Here are some of the clues.

Ate nachos and drank delicious beers at Migration Brewing.

All in all, it was a wonderful day full of memories, love, thrifting, and good food. It makes me a little more excited to be bringing on another year and more accepting and grateful for the years that I've had. It even brings a little excitement for the years to come. However, I don't think that I will be growing into the grown up title anytime soon.

Cheers to another happy year,

Autumn

Listy Listiness: Birthday

Hello there all,

My birthday is coming up next Monday (November 3rd), and here are just a couple of things that I've had my eyes on recently.

1.) Khaled Hosseini's book And The Mountains Echoed. I have read The Kite Runner and A Thousand Splendid Suns which were both beautiful. Now, it is time to read another Hosseini book.

2.) alphabet stamp set which can be used in wood, metal, etc. So, I can make some projects that I've been dreaming of like this and this.

3.) A rotary cutter for sewing adventures.

4.) This old tv wet bar. I would also be okay with an old tv turned into an aquarium like here. It makes me think of the old tv show "Caroline in the City." Anybody else remember that aquarium?

5.) These leggings

6.) This porcelain pen to create neat-o things like this.

7.) This pressed plant print from The Dainty Squid. It also inspires me to want to press every plant. ever.

Happy almost birthday to me!
