Wednesday Miscellany!

It's Wednesday, friends! Oh my goodness, Elisabeth and I have been as busy as bees putting together fun stuff and cooking up plans for the future that may or may not include the following: travel to exciting places, new directions for You + ME* (have you checked out You + ME* Holiday yet?), brownies (there's not really a may not in this case), and lots and lots of glitter (again, have you checked out You + Me* Holiday?). Let's start off this week's miscellany with a sneak peek into what we were up to yesterday morning bright and early (taken by yours truly):

Are we crap-your-pants excited to show you the rest? Why yes, yes we are. (Oh, fine, since you asked so nicely, here's another peek.)

 Oh, and that fine lady you see with the camera is Kay English, and we are super excited to see how she captured this.

Elisabeth's little baby bump is just getting more adorable by the day. I am already madly in love with her daughter, Claire (as is Emi), so I can't wait to meet the newest edition to her family. We've been talking a lot about the experience of having kids, and it brought to mind this piece by Phillip Toleando (the photographer who did the piece about spending time with his aging father). It's a candid exploration of his own experience with being a father, and I think it's quite beautiful.

Speaking of beautiful, did you know that Sweet Paul recently opened an Etsy shop to sell stuff left over from shoots that he styles? I am swooning over this teapot.

Also, we won't be mad if you haven't because we've been bombarding you with other stuff, but:
-Did you see that our Internet Crushes for November are up?
-Have you checked out You + ME* Holiday?  Elisabeth has been working like a pack of over-caffeinated elves to bring you buckets of holiday goodness. We've got some super exciting announcements to make over there in the coming week, and Elisabeth already has a great (and growing by the day) list of gift guides up (check the tabs at the top of the page) for those of you who like to get a head start on holiday shopping.

Ciao for now, loves. I'll see you right back here tomorrow with a great autumn recipe (I've eaten almost nothing else for the past two weeks) and an easy-peasy dessert recipe to boot.
