My Fall Wish List...

Ok, this is kind of weird for me to do because my mindset for the last month or so has been about downsizing and not buying anything that isn't a necessity.  And this is a big departure from that.  But, hey, it's perfectly fine to window shop for stuff!  Most of the fun is just looking.  Right?  So, here are a few of the things that I've been (somewhat guiltily) dreaming about for fall...

I'd give just about anything in the world right now to be back on the road like we were last year.  The travel bug has hit again...and hit hard.  How incredible would it be to travel the US in one of these 4 vehicles?  Camping and picnicking and hiking and looking at all the colorful leaves and roasting corn in a campfire?  Gah.  I'm keeping my fingers crossed that we can go sooooooooon.

There's something about this autumn look that I just adore.  It must be the faded denim, the worn belt, the toasty jacket, the soft hair and the fierce expression...she's just rockin'!

These could light up my life, and my backyard, during the time of year when the sun sets really early and darkness swoops in at 4pm.  I imagine sitting under these around a small bonfire with a big group friends and soaking up the cool weather.

I want to go to there.  Now.  Puuuuuuuuuuuh-leeeeeze?

This vintage calligraphy set is giving me motivation for one of my October Goals.  I will learn!  I will!

Calligraphy is an ancient art but these gloves are all about new technology.  They are woven with special stuff that allows you to use a smartphone without having to remove them.  How cool is that?  You can text without frostbitten digits!  Cool!  Digits!  Ha!  Damn, my puns are always terrible...

I want a fridge full of Sweet Grass Dairy cheese for all of fall.  And wine...lots of wine.

Pair these shoes with denim and a chunky cable sweater.  Just the thing for a canoe trip!  Or a trip to the library or co-op!  The latter is more of a reality since I don't have a vacation, mini or otherwise, planned just yet...

I've fallen again with the bad puns! in love with this wooden leaf brooch...and the whole look is just so me.

This bag could be used all year long but I dream of holding it while strutting around Athens this month while wearing a big scarf and a bigger smile...and sipping on some delicious Earl Grey tea.  Yesssssss.

Now I'm off to snuggle under the blankets with the critters and watch some more movies.  I've been on a marathon for the last few days!  The dogs are overjoyed that they can all pile on me and steal my warmth.  I just might have to bring out some extra quilts...

Happy Monday!
