What to do with all this beautiful squash around the house? I’m going to try a variation of this recipe from Whole Foods Market’s site. I love butternut squash and it’s much easier to prepare than I had imagined. Any squash can be baked in an oven at 375 for 1 to 1 1/2 hours (depending on the size). Just be sure to poke some vent holes and place on a baking sheet.
It’s time I posted about something grown-up. I rarely wear jewelry as it just seems like an extravagance to me. But now my younger daughter has reached the age when she’s not pulling the earrings out of my ears, so I’ve been thinking about it. Mostly just admiring from afar. I love the glass jewelry that’s everywhere these days. Here are some pieces in fall colors that I found particularly beautiful (click on image for link):
Glass artist everlasting glass in Brooklyn creates beautiful designs from fused and lampwork glass at reasonable prices ($40 for pair pictured below):
A bit more of an investment are these Ananda Khalsa pieces that seem to be getting a lot of worthy praise. Each high-quality piece contains an original painting (ring $280, necklace $370, also available in just silver).
Feminine and affordable, these Ellerue acorn earrings below are just $14:
I could never pull these off, but aren’t these Alisha Louise earrings gorgeous? And customizable — you pick the enamel colors ($88).
