Week 42 Links I Love: Week 42

October is one of my favorite months. We are in prime fall weather, and pumpkins are everywhere. Sweater weather is here, and I am lining up the coats. I have been cooking with all the seasonal produce at the market while we still have it.

My husband and I disagree on how many pumpkins are too many! We spent our Saturday at the local garden center picking up flowers for our stoop.

Grab your coffee and croissants, and join me for links I love. This week is packed with great links!

In case you missed the news this week, a violent fire destroyed the oldest covered market in Paris. I had an apartment in Paris on the same street, just next door. This news brought me to tears. One thing about Paris is that they are already talking about rebuilding this and finding alternatives for the displaced vendors.

I got a color and bang trim this week. It feels so refreshing. Bangs are a lot of maintenance.
