a restorative weekend...

“delicious autumn! my very soul is wedded to it, and if i were a bird i would fly about the earth seeking the successive autumns.”   - george elliot

there is something so restorative about the fall...the rich hues, the golden light, the smell of campfire, the nip in the air. and there is no place that i feel this more than in vermont. i had the great pleasure of attending my sweet friends baby shower over the weekend in this beautiful place. i cannot express to you the beauty and love that filled the day. she has the sweetest, kindest, most supportive women in her life- it was really inspiring to be a part of...

umm hello, can we just talk about these adorable cupcakes our friend sarah made for the shower...yes, i ate 2, although i wanted to eat 5, just didn't want to look like the oinker that adorned the dang things...

i also have to show you this amazing bassinet she received from her brother. i literally called my mom after i left the shower and was like, "when i have a baby i HAVE TO have one of these". no joke, it was the most beautiful gift she received...

oh, and did i mention i got to meet this little nugget too?...heaven...
