{An unsettling Halloween decoration that keeps me company while I work}

This week really was about the little things that make me happiest: decorating for my favorite holiday, a leisurely meal with my best friend up north, a long walk to the beach, a sweet drawing from a reader, and picking tomatoes for that night's meal. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend.
