4th Annual Yazzie Pumpkin Party Invite.

Love this invite whipped up by none other than my Snuggle Bunnie.  This is my favorite invitation he's made to date.  And there's been some good ones, so that's saying a lot.

Pumpkin Patch.

Friday was Yazzie date night.  We went to the corner pumpkin stand and picked our prize gourds.  We love our tradition of carving pumpkins and making home made chili.  Fall is such a magical time of year. 

Most Rentable: Broken English.

I want to take this film out on a date, and kiss it.  Parker Posey is a personal hero of mine.  I aspire to her career of captivating independent films.  This movie was just another affirmation of why I admire her acting chops.  She's funny, she's fascinating, she can hold a film, and she breaks my heart.  Brilliance I tell you.  The plot focuses on Nora, a women in her thirties, dissatisfied by her life cards dealt.  She wants to be in love, and experience satisfaction and happiness. But nearly everything frightens her.  One fateful night she steps outside her personal parameters and attends a co-worker's party.  Her deep brown eyes fall upon the embarrassingly handsome Frenchman Julien.  And you'll have to rent the film to find out what happens.  P.S. even if you hate the film, you'll go ape over Nora's clothes, and the apartment inspiration!

Spice Shop: Silverlake.

Chef Jorge recently sent me to pick up some fresh spices at the Spice Station in Silverlake.  It's pretty darn magical.  The shop is lined from floor to roof with large bottles of spices.  It smells like Christmas.  A gent in front of me made a fascinating inquiry.

Guest:  "Do  you carry paprika?"

Shop Clerk:  "Why yes we do.  We're running a special on paprika right now.  You can get a pinch for $15.00, or a gram of Spanish Paprika for $33.00."

Wow!!!  Forget my idea for selling steroids at muscle beach.  I need to start pushing spices.  I can't wait to return.  They have a tea room in the back.  And you know that would be bombastic. 

What I Wore Wednesday: Blue Skirt.

Today I'm in an oddish sort of mood.  I feel tres blase.  Not blue, not green not apple, marine.  I'm wedged some where in between the color wheel.  I feel like I'm waiting for my train to come in, as it were.  I've been mulliing over acting too frequently.  And the business is enough to make one crazy.  I have a sneaking suspicion that I need to have some fun.  I'll work on that.  

Ingredients:

Checkered Blouse:  Forever 21 $22.00

Blueberry Skirt:  Thrifted $5.00     

Charred Belt:  Thrifted $2.99

Flower Pendant:  Antique $8.00

Creativity Tuesday: October Edition.

It has come to my attention that it is fall.  I feel that my indoor experience should corroborate with that of the outdoors.  Hence the transformation of my mid-century buffet.  The theme was that of a deranged English professor.  I love the dramatic volume of the palm branches {a find on one of Soba's walks.}

One question at a time; yes those are chicken feet tied to a string, yes that is a fox tail, and yes that is one of my childhood favorite reads, OLD BLACK WITCH.  It's about a witch that coexists with new tenants, and her remarkable knack at blueberry pancakes.
