Pumpkin season is my favourite. I wish it could be pumpkin season all year long and it's rare that I manage to not start pulling out my pumpkin decorations before September. Because we're still living the temporary lifestyle and Scotland doesn't go nearly as pumpkin crazy as I would like, I need to make my own pumpkin everything. With a basic sweater and some wool roving, you can make a super cute Felt Pumpkin Elbow Patch to celebrate the season wherever you are. Supplies: sweater (I ... Read More

Clove Pumpkin and Leaf Pouches
I always get excited when fall rolls around because cinnamon and clove are my two favorite scents. Fall makes it acceptable to fill the house with their smell and I keep it going throughout winter. I can't get enough! It's so easy to get cinnamon scented pinecones, so I decided to add in the clove scent I love with these Clove Pumpkin and Leaf Pouches! This post contains affiliate links.

Find Time for Fall Touches
This post was sponsored by JORD Wood Watches. Fall is my favorite season, but it's also the busiest. With school starting and everything the girls need, I feel like I'm constantly scrambling.

Savory Pumpkin Soup
When I was growing up, pumpkin was pretty much just pumpkin pie to me, which I have never overly cared for (I know!). In New Zealand, though, I was introduced to pumpkin in a whole new way. It's a regular component of roast meals. Pumpkin is served on its own or with mixed veg. My favorite, though, was being introduced to pumpkin soup. It was creamy and savory and I just couldn't get enough! I was so in love with it that we had pumpkin soup as a course at our wedding. We've tried a fair number ... Read More
Pumpkin Everything Shirt
Hi. I'm Albion and I love fall and pumpkins. Pumpkins are my favorite. September hits and I am ready for pumpkin everything. I desperately needed a way to share my love of all things pumpkin--you know, so when a stranger sees me at the grocery store, she can look at me and say to herself "That woman is a pumpkin lover!". This is an important thing for people to know about me. It made sense to make a Pumpkin Everything Shirt and I'm super tickled with how it turned out! This post contains ... Read More
September Stitch Fix
There are few things I love more than the transition from summer to fall. I love the colors, the cooler temps that lead to layering, the sheer coziness of clothes...all of it. Stitch Fix must have read my mind with my latest box. My stylist sent me fantastic transitional pieces and I had a lot of fun trying them on. Here's something you may not know about me--I'm a total bag junky. I love purses and pouches and totes. I couldn't tell you how many I have, but I use them all. I've been with ... Read More
