with rain coming down outside my window and highs barely reaching the 60s, it finally feels like fall has arrived in Portland. as I’m shivering in my office, it seems like all I can think of are snuggly sweaters and ankle boots. particularly, I’ve had my eye on these.

over the weekend dlb and I headed out into the forest, knives in hand, on a hunt for prized Chanterelle mushrooms. after a few hours of tromping over trees and breaking twigs with every step, we stumbled upon the patch of all patches and quickly filled up our grocery bag with yummy mushrooms. we had plans on chopping, sauteing, and freezing these babies, but mushrooms for every meal sounded like a better plan. we’ve had sauteed Chanterelles with thyme on wheat crackers, Chanterelle and cheese scrambled eggs, and last night, the most incredibly delicious Wild-Mushroom Bread Pudding.
and we’ve still got half the bag to go. tonight I’m thinking Mushroom Soup with Hazelnut Gremolata.
please welcome my newest sponsor, Inklore. Inklore was founded in 2008 by Sam with a passion for well designed and eco-friendly housewares and accessories. how pretty is this hydrangea table runner? everything is block-printed by hand on high quality linen and cotton using environmentally sensitive, water-based inks. check out the shop for pretty block-printed designs and Sam’s blog for more inspiration.
I simply adore 13 Bees Vintage. a few months ago, I discovered 13 Bees after Megan, the lovely lady behind 13 Bees, commented on Unruly Things. after clicking to her shop, I fell madly in love with a particular dress. a few notes were exchanged and 13 Bees became an Unruly Things sponsor and I became the proud owner of this amazing yellow dress which I had taken in and hemmed to a shorter length.
be sure to check out 13 Bees Vintage for some truly incredible vintage garments and stop by Megan’s blog for updates and more eye candy. thanks Megan!
I love the cute collegiate-esque Radcliffe collection from Kate Spade.
we just updated our inventory of journals and notepads at Postal Press! there is now a bigger size of our floral scratch pads, which has been our best seller yet. also more animal journals, small floral scratch pads and pocket note pads!
we’ve got another update scheduled next week to include note cards and another size of the animal journals.
I’m feeling a bit under the weather today. I’ll be in full swing tomorrow my friends. until then…
