Warm Animations and ATriUM Designs have teamed up to bring us The Twilight Project. The two designers are bringing beautiful mesh furniture and outstanding animations together for our benefit. The butterfly chair and table are their latest creations, available as a set at the current round of SaNaRae. The chair features multiple texture changes and the table gives you the option of a cleared top or covered in candles.

This is a lovely addition to any patio, porch or veranda to enjoy the butterfly at twilight. Or any other time of the day.

Mom’s Apple Pie

{what next} has released some autumn goodness for the September round of Collabor88. In addition to a pumpkin-filled wheelbarrow (which I haven’t gotten around to showing you yet), you can find this cookbook and holder, along with two perfectly baked pies. When I saw the apple version, it brought a smile to my face. It reminded me so much of the ones my Mom used to make; she even used the lattice top crust.

The only difference is that Mom didn’t use a recipe, yet her apple pie always turned out perfectly. I think that’s because her main ingredient was love.

I haven’t made one in quite some time, but I, too, follow Mom’s rough rules for pie-making: adjust the sugar, depending on the sweetness of the apples, add a bit of flour to the sugar mixture to thicken the juice and keep the crust from getting soggy, make sure you add cinnamon to taste. I never quite got the hang of making the lattice as pretty as Mom did, but I’m pretty sure she passed along her knack for turning a few autumn apples into a delicious delight, guaranteed to warm your tummy and your heart.

All that’s missing is a scoop of ice cream…and Mom’s smile.

Afternoon Nap

1 Afternoon Nap sm

I have been in blogging overload the last week or so, as a few of you have noticed and commented. I’ll be downshifting and going back to a more relaxed schedule now. I have had so many beautiful things that have inspired me, and these boots from fri.day for Collabor88 are no exception. They are so comfy, you don’t even need to kick them off for your afternoon nap. You can even wiggle your toes as you dream of ice cream castles, unicorn kitties and adorable shoes.

Shhhhh…be very quiet. I’ve had a busy week.
