I picked up a loaf of challah bread the other evening to make Mike a bread pudding since he had a “run-in” with the dentist.

It turned out delicious but what I really wanted to share is what I had for breakfast this morning. I took 2 slices of leftover challah bread, toasted it up and drizzled honey (thank you, J!) all over it. It was heavenly.

Can you feel fall in the air yet? I’m enjoying this cool and crisp weather, stomping on leaves with my new boots, admiring the orange, yellow, reds and browns on the trees, drinking cider, dreaming up stews/soups and lighting candles. Fall doesn’t last for long – get out there and enjoy it while you can.

I saw these at Urban Outfitters a few months ago and thought it would cool to own a reasonably priced twin lens reflex camera. Even better, it uses 35mm film instead of the usual 120mm for TLRs. That means easy developing of film.

Also, you can shoot in 3 formats – normal 35mm, square 24mm and large square 36mm.

Lately, I have been fascinated with necklaces. Maybe it’s because I had recently got rid of some old pendants and suddenly feel a clear lack of adornment options. Here are some picks from Sundance Catalog – I have to scour Etsy for some great indie options too.

Three-bead Linen Necklace – Silver and linen, organic and beautiful to me

Cherry Blossom Necklace - they actually remind me more of pussy willow

Ebony Sequins Necklace – this is a smart and unique design

Droplet of Sterling Necklace - I love the simple organic pendant

Rosy Coral Necklace - I love the reds
