happy friday! time to get baking

"there is no season when such pleasant and sunny spots may be lighted on, and produce so pleasant an effect on the feelings, as now in october."

it's october!

time for me to whip out all those registry gifts & start baking! if the above photos aren't enough inspiration, then i highly recommend perusing the gourmet website yourself. some other favorites include epicurious, real simple & bakerella.

we'll be celebrating the nuptials of very dear friends this weekend, but maybe i'll motivate to get my bake on when we're all "slow" on sunday. nothing cures an evening full of too many cocktails like a homemade pumpkin pie.

happy baking!
