Virginia is pretty this time of year. So pretty. I wish I could make some fall inspired scarves out of crocheted wool leaves. I don’t know how to crochet or if you can crochet leaves but it would make an awesome scarf…

I went apple picking in Winchester, VA, with friends and had an awesome time. Apple picking is great and makes me wish I could can things and do other types of domestic cookery tasks.

While there I saw that the top part of the wall of one of the buildings had a ton of stacked old wooden fruit crates. I love the way it looked and I think it would look great as wall paneling if you pried the staples out of the crates and then used the sides as flat sheets. It would be County Living’s sort of aesthetic, which I love. If only I had a large amount of old fruit crates…

I saw these at Dots on Little River Turnpike in Alexandria today and had to take a photo. I documented the hooks to prove they are not really bangles. Seriously, who is wearing these things!?
