...this week saw the first signs of a moody Autumn. Cool winds whipping in the afternoon mean it's time for Minestrone (K calls it Miiiiiine Strone in his best superhero voice)
...In, and
...Out
...It seems as though all her leggings are morphing into pedal pushers
...We took her to a beautiful toystore in town on one of the last days of K's holidays to choose a small treat: a little animal to add to her collection. She chose a bunny. Like the ones at her new childcare centre (oh, that's another post)
...a handmade bag of tricks for a new baby born near the sea (the son of a good family friend)
...I've started working on Saskia's handbound baby book (I go weak at the sight of that stack of deckled edges).
...Another favourite from Sculpture Garden Sunday
...Finally! A nasturtium bloom!

Joining Em and creating a collection of weekly images, recording simple pleasures of ordinary days.

  7. That cookbook looks lovely, what is it? I always love a cookbook with lots of pages tagged... I really need to get around to starting a baby book of sorts for Everly. I have the etsy store bookmarked. I'm wondering what style you bought? I need helping choosing! Saskia is looking like a real little girl in these pictures! Growing up :)

    1. Oh I think you'd love the Moosewood cookbook - it's a classic! (Moosewoods is a well-known vegetarian restaurant in the States)...I bought the 10 x 10 album and customised the number of pages to suit what I needed. It is the most beautiful quality. I can barely bring myself to mark it! x
