Modern Day Mrs. Cleaver: Fall Cooking

It's almost that time of the year for pie-making once again! I'm talking about fruit pies, pumpkin, apple, berry and the like. Not cow pies. Those are made year round. And I don't make them. In fact I don't want anything to do with them.

Williams-Sonoma always has such chic, useful, hip items. Not only limited to the kitchen and more often than not, the items I find there are things I of course do not need but would make 'such and such' fun, in this case making pies. Check out these Lattice and Apple Pie Molds. How fun! Simple? I think so! They seem to be the perfect size for one person and have endless possibilities on filings. I'm thinking broccoli-cheese-chicken for a pie instead of a wrap (my usual creation). Think of the gooey cheese or the juice from tasty berries....hum...I do believe this will be added to my Christmas List.

Side note: My Christmas List is continued year 'round and is available to anyone needing inspiration on lighting up my life for any occasion. It's also used to remind myself of what I want or to remind myself that there was a reason it wasn't purchased immediately.

These shoes however would stay on my list. How chic! I'm not into the short boot style, if that is what you want to call these but I love the leather. I love sole and heal height. I also love the buckles. Seriously LOVE the buckles. These Times Three Booties are from Anthropologie and unfortunately are out of my price range. Doesn't mean I can't drool!

This weekend Callie and I are headed to the 'Ville for some family and friends time and travel is always exhausting. I of course rest my pretty little head on a tempurpedic pillow (I should be a spokesperson I love their stuff sooo much!) but Callie enjoys the carpet. She honestly doesn't seem to mind. At our house she has a dog pillow bed that she snores away on. The floors are all wood laminate and while she enjoys the coolness during the warm months, I have to imagine it's not that comfy for dreaming of lake swimming and bone chewing. I'm sure that's what she dreams of. That or dog treats. Or licking, she loves to lick everything.

While this luxury dog bed may have a sugar cookie theme and be soft, I can imagine the comments, facial expressions, and grunts that would occur should my Callie be able to voice her opinion after being told to go to bed in this. It's kind of excessive. I've read that dogs are a mirror of their owners and this isn't my cup of tea. I think we'll stick with her pillow.

As you can probably not see, she blends in well. All curled up. I just wanna love that dog. Her birthday is tomorrow you know.
