This is one of my favorite Halloween-ey pictures. My sweet godson. It’s from two years ago (I think).

It’s almost October…how did that happen? It’s almost scary how fast the months seem to fly by. I’m still waiting for the “Fall” weather to arrive though, maybe by Christmas, haha only kidding (but it sure seems that way)!

I like October. It’s a good month for a lot of reasons.

Pumpkin Spice Lattes are back at Starbucks. Oscar hates these, but I think they are the bees knees.

Cool, crisp weather.  Okay, not here (yet), but a girl can dream right?

Halloween Decorations. Go crazy, people!

Halloween costume brainstorming. So far, a leprachaun, a banana, and Barney have made our list.

Sweaters.  Again, not quite there yet in the weather department, but I loves me a good sweater.

Pumpkin Spice Kisses.  Kisses, as in Hershey’s Kisses, but imagine a smooth, velvety, pumpkin-ey taste. Kudos to you Hersheys!  Seriously, if you like pumpkin, you must hurry out and buy yourself a bag…actually make it two, because they won’t last long. I had no idea these existed, but apparently, they do. I was enlightened, when I visted this blog, and saw this recipe that had me drooling.

On another note, I will be hosting a Holiday Open House on Saturday October 17, from 10AM-3PM.

I had one a few years ago, and had hoped to host them annually, but sometimes life gets crazy, and even the best laid plans are swept under the rug. Anyway, I will have lots of great stuff for sale. Kitchen towels, table linens, hostess aprons, holiday decor, and maybe even some sweet treats. I also have some kid’s items, and embellished tees for ladies, still in my inventory that will be available for purchase. It will be held in my home studio. If you are in Southern California, and are interested in attending, e-mail me for location details. I will also be taking “pick-up” orders. Browse the shop, and if there is something specific you would like to order, let me know, and I will have it ready for you to pick up on the 17th.  I’ve also set up an “Event” page on Facebook, woo-hoo, fancy, I know (haha)! Please hop over and RSVP if you can make it.  I will continue to post updates to the V&Co Facebook Fan page, and would love it if you became one…a Fan that is Feel free to pass the Open House invite along to anyone you know who would be interested in attending.

I’m really looking forward to it, hoping to see you there!

Happy Monday!
