Krispy Kreme - Autumn Style

Oh they have an apple cider cake donut. I love love love Krispy Kreme's cake donuts. Back in the day I ate three devil's food and three blueberry cake donuts on the way home from Richmond. I was still in my twenties and my tummy didn't react at all to the download of hundreds and hundreds of grams of sugar. Now I'd probably self destruct. I can't eat any of these non-vegan friendly beauties, but damn they look good...when, oh when will the Double K get on the vegan and gluten free bandwagon!?!

Ida's Bookshop

Bishop told me about this new bookstore that was coming to Collingswood in July and on Friday I finally made it over there. It's a rather unusual bookshop, as it has limited inventory and the books are mostly displayed rather than in rows and rows of shelving units. The prices are as marked by the publisher and are higher than you'd find online, but it still felt good buying local. It's a beautiful place and clearly I made a beeline for the little room with kids books.

Forever Young

Ever since I was a child and saw Pollyanna I have adored Hayley Mills. A couple weeks back I just happened to search her name in Audible, thinking perhaps she narrated a book or two, maybe even Eleanor H. Porter's novel. That's when I learned that Ms. Mills had written her autobiography, which she would read in the audiobook version, and it was due to come out September 7th of this year! I thankfully had one credit in the chamber and instantly selected "pre-order", starting it as soon as I saw it download to my library. Forever Young comes in at just a little over sixteen hours in length and I find myself comparing it to a slice of Mrs. Lagerlof's cake. From the first scrumptious bite it leaves me simultaneously savouring it, while also so ready to dive in for the next morsel. 

Twenty

There aren't really any words for today, just a blanket of sadness and loss that will never leave us. We all continue on but each of us is forever changed.

Must-Have Wall Art

Eventually I will get my shit together and pain my damn house. Once I do I really would love to add this to my walls. I daydream about when I can return to Dublin and coming across this made me miss that glorious city even more.

The Edinburgh poster is also so beautiful and hell's bells, if I'm gonna order the Dublin one, I mid-as-well grab this one too!

Sittin' in Hell's Kitchen, NY

Came across these pix that KSP took of me back in May of 2018 when we went to The Big Apple for the day. My face is red as shit (big surprise) but my nails and shoes are on point and I was still stylin' and profilin' with those jet-black spikes.

Dino Cardi!!!!!

BFF Amy told me about a website that had some super cute and fun sweaters. This one caught my eye because I love green and especially the adorable wee lil' dinosaur. Even on sale and with a 20% off coupon from Amy, it's still about fifty bucks. I just can't bring myself to buy it. Maybe one day but for now, I'm leaving it here!
