I must say, those whimsyandspice cookies are INCREDIBLE. If you can't make up your mind (like me!), order one of their sampler boxes for a bit of everything!

Great selections! Look at that apple mug!

This is a beautifully curated collection! Seeing kindredthreads handwoven textiles reminded me of how I used to live for my looms eons ago. Had to click to misspottery and purchase 4 of her great autumnal offerings, too. Now, if I can just conjure up my willpower long enough to stay away from the whimsyandspice offerings...

Fall is such a bittersweet time...so beautiful yet so short. I truly wish the colorscheme was more popular all year around. I'd like to surround myself with fall colors/items all the time!

Love your tin-type avatar! Thanks for sharing that last week. So addictive!

I couldn't agree with you more, 4thesparrowsnest. What I do is mainly a black and white theme though with a pop of color in each room... my bathroom is black, white and pumpkin. So I get to enjoy it year-round! Kitchen is b/w and oregano green and my son's room is b/w with a goldish mustard color. Love it! :)

Cool choices, I would definitely get them, not necessarily for me, but for other friends that love to host and decorate their houses in general!
