Autumn Days and Dinner Parties

All Things Danish and Charming

So I'm staying up a bit too late doing a little travel research for Joy's and mine upcoming Europe trip, and I found a very exciting link to the Tivoli Gardens in Copehagen, Denmark. We will be visiting there during the latter part of Christmas break, and I'm slightly overjoyed. Check it out for yourselves:

Cozy Autumn Sabbaths: Jenks Lake

Have I mentioned how much I love autumn?


We hiked around Jenks Lake with Elle on her little leash.

Kari's adorable puppy, Elle.

Happy Autumn!

How cute is this picture?

I'm jealous of such a fun autumn Sunday with girls, scrapbooking fun galore, accompanied with the ever-present espresso. Mom, you are too cute.

A few of my favorite things...

1. Water. I love that water is the common denominator in so many of my simplest joys: A steaming pot of Darjeeling Tea, hot autumn breakfasts with oat bran and raspberries on the stove, waterfalls, Spa Days, snowflakes, lemonade, pedicures, and vases of fragrant roses in my windowsill.
2. Road Trips . I love road maps and atlases for which my glovebox is not large enough. I love this travel link: http://www.latourex.org/latourex_en.html. Someday I hope that I will be brave, courageous, and crazy enough to try traveling in all these ways.

3. Christmas Markets. I love those adorable vintage 50's tree ornaments in baby blue and white. I love caramel apples, peanut brittle and the idea of popcorn balls. I love seeing egg nog in the grocery store and just can't resist buying a carton although I'll never drink more than one glass of the stuff and it will rot in the back of the fridge until Valentine's Day. Just because I can't part with the sentimentally festive idea of egg nog.

5. Making Invitations. I so want to host a fall harvest party. I even sketched an invitation out...
