much love monday.

i like to use monday as a way to reflect on the previous week, to start anew, and to send a little love into the world.  won't you join me?    

today i am grateful for:

a pretty surprising irish victory and some really beautiful fall weather.

pictures worth a thousand words:

{pumpkins are back on the mantel}

{and acorns are on the side table}

{stumbled on a darling patisserie coming out of the dentist and took some treats home for breakfast}

{have been enjoying this recipe for energy balls}

{my game day gear}

this week's blog love:  

• design*sponge's biz ladies column is always helpful, but this week's, on the "big lies" that can be holding you back, particularly resonated.
• did you catch jillian's of cornflake dreams guest post on inspiration and rough drafts?  
• design love fest opens up about managing employees.
• another great guest post this week: anne of live simply by anne explores shopping in your own closet on ashley nicole catherine.
• sequins & stripes shares her experiences meeting with other bloggers at nyfw.

here's to another grateful and love-filled week.
