It happens every year. Right around Halloween, the Green Hand gets restless. Goes off in search of adventure. Some folks are afraid of him. But not me!

Fall would not be complete without a visit to our favorite pumpkin patch. You come too.

Folklore says witches turned people into pumpkins. These shoppers better be careful.

cute stuff

Some of you may have noticed I have a ~~full out obsession~~ tiny weakness for china and crockery. My favorite thing to do is set the table. What can I say? I love to play with dishes.

At present, we have three cupboards and three hutches brimming with cups, plates, teapots, platters, and bowls. No room for any more. No, no room at all.

I’m usually okay as long as I don’t see something. But the other day a Google+ friend posted this:

awesome tray — Trinket dish or tea bag holder

Curious to see more, I clicked through to the Etsy Shop and found some delightful pieces for sale at LennyMud (Lenny is the artist’s cat). Everything is handmade, non-toxic, eco-friendly, lead free, dishwasher and microwave safe.

And there are mustaches! I’m married to a Lenny with a mustache! It must be a sign, right? But I decided that if I show you these cute things, you’ll be tempted to buy them so I won’t have to.

Yes, that’ll work,right?

sugar and creamer — One of a kind Peeping Sugar and Creamer Set

Hmmm. I have such great willpower. No more pottery for me, no siree.

bucket of love — One of a kind candy dish or planter

Talk about admirable restraint. If I can resist a coconut cupcake, I can resist these things. Right?

Phew! That was close. Sometimes I really amaze myself. ☺

Wanna see more? You know you do. LennyMud is here.

Saw this adorable music video over at Into the Wardrobe the other day and thought I’d share it just in case you haven’t seen it yet. So, so cute. It’s an example of K-POP, popular music from South Korea.

Naturally I’m in love with the kitchen setting, the cute animated characters making ramen and cavorting all over the place, but I also liked the song upon first hearing it. Refreshing, bubbly, infectiously joyous. Enjoy!

Thanks for the lift, Tarie!

Remember when I spotted this adorable fox kit in our woods back in May?

Here he is all grown up, napping and grooming himself in the back yard:

We call all the foxes, “Fuzzy,” admire their long black stockings, and continue to train each generation to recognize Len’s voice announcing their supper. This fellow has a penchant for puppy biscuits, baby back ribs, and smoked turkey, though a chicken carcass remains his absolute favorite.
