Let's play a quick round of "What's on your entry-way table!", shall we?

1. One pair of Cole Haan sunglasses

2. One set of keys on a well-worn lucky Coach keychain

3. Four sticky rats leftover from kindergarten class Halloween treat bags

4. Two gooey eyeballs, same as above

5. Fake poop

6. One Star Wars Lego skeleton in Obi Wan Kenobi plastic toupe with hand-made, souped-up blaster

* This is not a review. I bought of all these items with my very own money, with the exception of the fake poop, which was (sigh) a gift to Lil E from my dad. That's just (more sighs) how we roll.

Someone Else's Words Wednesday: Brown eyes, big flower, fall

This verse played over and over in my head as I watched my nephew, eyes shining and cheeks deliciously round, peek under, around, and over a brilliant purple mum. I wish this picture adequately captured the sweetness of those few moments we shared at brunch.

Ly-la-ly I heard you cry
Clouds will pass but stars will shine for your eyes
Summer gives up its grip to fall
Wind picks up it says it all
In your eyes, in your eyes

~from one of my favorite songs this year, "Safety in Numbers" by Stars of Track and Field. Here, have a listen.
