My Mother, being the wonderful lady that she is, decided to rent us a cottage for the weekend so my sister and her and I, and a couple of family friends could get away from the city for a quiet girls weekend in!
The whole thing was absolute perfection, just enough rainy weather to allow for some good book reading, and old movie watching - we watched the Stork Club! - and board game playing and delicious snack eating! We sat outside in adirondack chairs and read and talked and sipped wine and laughed a whole bunch and it was all absolutely perfect after a week of essays and midterms and presentations!
My sister and I snuck off to explore the woods for a little while and took some photos with her magical camera box...the leaves were extra pretty and the whole thing just reinforced why I love Autumn so much. All those colors, and everything smells so crisp and fresh, and the wind is somehow extra spooky and everything feels eerie in a perfectly mysterious kind of way.
It put me into Fall mood so bad, that I barely had time to put my bags down before setting up shop in the kitchen to bake a double batch of banana muffins with a brown sugar crumble top. I've been on this cleanse-diet thing for about 8 days now and so I couldn't even eat them myself (ok, ok I may have cheated and had a little....) but I handed them out to my roommates, and their parents and they went over very well!
Anyway, the cottage we stayed at was an absolute dream. Right in the middle of beautiful nowhere, and with ceramic tile floors that reminded me of a Spanish villa! There was a fire place and big wing back chairs to sit and read in....And the sun came out just enough for us to shop around the village near by, where I bought some really exciting muffin pan liners and a snail shaped napkin holder! And when we got back it got grey and rainy again, just the way I like it!
Now I think I'll curl up in my bed with some knitting and a Barbra Stanwyck film and get a good nights rest before another big week!

Yay! I love it when you post things! And this does not disappoint at all. You are so cute and I am dying to be real life friends!
These pictures are beautiful and perfectly fall like. I am sitting here wearing the white version of your dress as we speak too. And YOUR BOOTS!! Those are my dream boots,gahhhh! I had to go and buy a pair at target instead (that I love too) but I can't get over these boots!
Aw! Sounds like you had an amazing time! Makes me want to do the same thing, although we are going into summer!
Those pictures capture autumn so perfectly and I now exactly what you mean about it beeing spooky, I love going to the beach more in Autumn becuase of the spookyness and overcast skies. Somehow it makes it EVEN prettier :D

Remarkable idea and it is duly

You are a doll! I am in love with that navy wool coat! How sweet. There's nothing better than Mamas and sisters in the woods. I could go for that now!
