This week has been Operation Apple Recipe week for me – we've got tons of apples from our orchard excursion over the weekend and have been trying to put them to good use.  So far I've made soup and stuffing, but this weekend I'm planning to make individual serving apple pies and possibly an apple crisp if I don't put myself into a sugar coma first.  I do have photos from the apple orchard to share with you next week, and may share photos of my baking adventures depending on how things turn out, but in the meantime…

Here are a few things I've enjoyed this week:

• A most amazing mexican fiesta-themed wedding on Ruffled
• Cute Las Vegas-themed moving announcements via Peach & Pearl
• If you're in the Richmond area, Courtney is putting together a fun event at Anthropologie on October 25 – you should stop by!
• I'm loving all the patterned tights for fall
• A yummy recipe for pear tarts and another recipe for pumpkin hazelnut doughnuts – for when I've finally run out of apples…
• Sycamore Street Press is giving away a set of holiday cards – and Liz from Linda & Harriett is offering a free card on October 19 in honor of her mom's birthday, on the condition that you send them to someone just because.
• Love all the details from Erica's bridal shower – planned by Maria and photographed by Kate – over on snippet & ink
• Delphine is offering 25% off all custom letterpress orders, but the offer ends October 31st!

That's it for me this week!  I hope you all have a warm + cozy weekend, and I'll see you all back here on Monday!

I totally forgot that this was a long weekend (here in the U.S. anyway) – which now has me even more excited for the weekend to begin!  We have no special plans this weekend, but I'm dying to get out of the city for a day or two – go apple picking or something fun and totally appropriate for Fall.  But in the meantime…

…here are a few things I've enjoyed this week:

• Elizabeth Messina takes the most beautiful photographs…
• Big contratulations to Chelle Paperie on their new line of wedding invitations with Garnish!
• Another big congratulations to Ez and Marichelle on their new venture together – I'm really looking forward to seeing all the new goodies from Nice Package!
• Aran's amazing new recipes (and gorgeous photography, as always) have me so thankful for Fall…
• I so loved Jim and Pam's wedding on the Office last night - if you haven't yet seen it, my U.S.-based readers can watch the two part episode here and here, or this sweet and hilarious excerpt here
• I love the typography on these English wine bottles
• If you're like me and love pumpkins but have absolutely no talent when it comes to carving, check out these ideas from Twig & Thistle
• More lovely work from Bryn at Paperfinger – this time escort cards and illustrated table signs
• Single serving pies!

Have a lovely weekend – I'll see you all back here on Tuesday!
