Autumn Delights – Part Two.

Sweet little treats for the fall festival.   Gabri-elle-phant!   Road trip with my sister down to the Oregon Coast. We were loving the moments of silence as Anna, Simon, and Gabrielle rested in the backseat.   Trampoline time.   Sweet peas at my parents. There’s no better fragrance or delicate bloom.   You’re a star, Gabrielle!   Strawberry in champagne on a newspaper covered table. Thanks Dad!   My first-ever all pink/red Starburst pack. Where have these been all my life?!   A champagne toast with Ali and Liz while enjoying delicious fresh dungeness crab dip – our grandmother’s special recipe.   I can’t wait to take a whiff of Chanel’s new Jersey scent.   Shabu-shabu dinner at my parent’s house for Ali’s birthday.   Gabrielle having a chat with the cat on our Charlotte to Seattle flight.   Love this shoot on shopbop.   My dad at his finest – cooking tempura.   Gabri-elle-phant and her trainer go trick or treating!   Gabrielle soaking up the Oregon Coast goodness.   A single brilliant dahlia. And I’m loving the camera on the new iPhone!   Pizza perfection from Peitros in Salem. A must-stop when driving down I-5.   Loved this piece on “A quiet mind.” The text reads: “We talk about the time we spend sitting, thinking and breathing in a guilty way, as if the absense of action implies a lack of accomplishment. But doing nothing is doing something. By emptying your head of your usual to-dos, you create space for new ideas and experiences. Your mission this month: Be still. You’ll build the launch pad for your next adventure.”   I lined up all Gabrielle’s little Playmobil guys to greet her on this morning.
