So, I have this semi-permanent line between my eyebrows. It used to just appear at the very end of a long and frustrating day, in fact I could feel it forming between my eyes as the frustrations mounted - then I'd rub it away at the end of the day and start afresh. But these days, the wrinkle is firmly in place when I wake up in the morning, and no amount of forehead massaging and lavender oil makes it go away at the end of the day. Do you want to know the best thing about going to Mexico for a week?? My wrinkle has disappeared! It went away on day 3 (after an exceptional hot stone massage) and hasn't come back yet. Mexico is better than botox! (Not that I've tried botox or have any intention of doing so -- for now anyway.)
I'll have photos of Mexico for you later on this week, but for now here's a link list - cause I haven't done one in ages and that is, after all, why we're all here.
food Adrianna says she jumps the gun on autumn every year, but who can blame her with
this ginger pear clafoutis to make? And there's a splash of bourbon in it, too. It will warm you up on these slightly cold evenings (although I'd have it in the morning, too).
If you are one of those people who isn't quite excited about Autumn, then all you need to do is read
Beth's post on this new season and get a recipe for creme fraiche pumpkin coffee cake too.
Umm, have you ever heard of coconut bacon? Me either. But you need to check out this
blt salad with coconut bacon from
Cookie Kate. You won't be sorry.

Ok, I don't have a front porch to rest this amazing pumpkin on, but I'm thinking about crafting
this chalkboard painted pumpkin that I found over at
Thistlewood Farm to put in my entryway. I mean, come on! You can do word puzzles on it! I'd probably use number stickers and do sudoku on mine instead of words though.
I love when my favorite interiors bloggers buy a house, and I'm excited that
Emily Henderson just did! It's going to be so much fun to follow her on her journey as she redoes
this 1964 home.
I'm so proud that I get to work with the incredibly talented Bunny Williams on her books, and tonight she was honored with a
lifetime achievement award at a black tie gala for her more than 25 years in the interior design business. Congrats to Bunny!
fashion/style Can we give a collective "yay" for the debut of
JCrew's baby line? Now I just have to think of some pregnant friends to give gifts to.
Jen Pinkston at
The Effortless Chic found me the
perfect pointed pump from Coach.
I hope you had a great weekend. I'm so happy to be back here (but i do still miss there).
