We hope you’re having a spooky Halloween this Monday! Here’s to lots of candy corn and happy trick-or-treaters.

This Thanksgiving card  makes me remember some of the more cozy Thanksgivings I’ve spent with family. I love the idea of sending a Thanksgiving wish to those you can’t spend the holidays with this season.

After spending this weekend harvesting buckets of walnuts, I’m definitely starting to get geared up for Thanksgiving. It’s always fun to add a nutty touch to your Thanksgiving decor and recipes, and nut-themed decor is sure to get Thanksgiving guests thinking of their favorite part of the meal–the pecan pie for dessert! Here’s a few ideas:

Pottery Barn Acorn Salt & Pepper Shakers

Williams-Sonoma Fall Pie Crust Cutters

I like to keep a little greenery on my pumpkins–I think that pumpkin vines are such a nice touch in creating more natural fall decor. It’s no surprise, then, that I love these pumpkin cupcakes with vines attached!
