Batesy Natesy

On Saturday, we took our annual trip to Bates Nut Farm
affectionately renamed Nate's Butt Farm by the locals. :)


We normally go with my sister each year,
but this year we also brought the Schan clan along for the ride.

We smelled (I mean saw..?) the animalsPlayed in the corn fieldsPicked out Pumpkins(and gourds!)Stuffed our faces with yummy food
(which I respectfully took zero pictures of - not very attractive)

... and of course took a bunch of picturesAs always, it was so much.
BNF hold so many memories
and it's the perfect way to usher in the Fall!

Where do you go pumpkin patching?

Meet Max

This weekend, we got to meet my gram's newest friend.
This adorable little fluff ball is Max.

He's just the tiniest thing you ever did see.
He (surprisingly!) loves being cradled like a baby while you rub his belly.
He melts right into the grown.
He hops around like a little bunny.
And well, we love him to pieces already!

Some Friday Inspiration

In my craft room, the one that only exists in my head, I want lockers like this. Definitely to store wrapping paper, but also to house cubbyholes for all my embellishments.
And one day I want to make a nightstand like this one:

And let it live at the end of our bed like this:

And these, well these are just two pretty pictures that made my morning extra magical.

Happy Friday!
