And with that, dear friends... I am signing off for the weekend since it's after 3:00 p.m. and I have lots to do this weekend and right now I'm off to whip up homemade curry vegetable soup to warm my soul -- it's getting cold here! But I'll be visiting you again on Monday morning bright-eyed and bushy-tailed so I'll see you soon. :) For now, I will leave you with the portfolio of photographer Annie Schlechter to enjoy. Make sure you pay attention to the cupcake twinkle lights below because they are such an easy DIY project don't you think? And quite darling... You could use cupcake wrappers with a pretty pattern on them or keep them simple and white as shown below.

What will you do this weekend? We have an anniversary brunch to attend and I have endless amount of organizing (still) along with errand-running, but I plan to watch You've Got Mail and possibly fit in another feel good film, like About A Boy because I know both of them so well that I don't have to pay 100% attention but they'll be fun to having running as I sort through things. I'm also going to bake for my cousins... it warms the soul, the house, and the heart and I can't think of a better mood enhancer than the smell of chocolate nutella brownies with walnuts and marshmallows, can you!?
