i think you get the point by now, i love fall and everything that goes along with it –

cool weather, sweaters, squash, chili, the holidays.  i especially love starbuck’s pumpkin spice latte.  it’s the only time of year i like starbucks.  but pumpkin flavor, color or the actual vegetable i’m all over.  here are some links to everything pumpkin:

link #4: pumpkin smelling candles

it’s almost as good as eating them, isn’t it?  i truly can not get enough of this smell.  makes my house smell like i have been slaving for hours when really i was fooling around on pinterest! check out these i found on etsy.  click here.

link #5: pumpkin scarf

is this not so cute?!  why mess with a big bulky sweater that would make you look huge because you ate too many pumpkin pancakes anyway?  just wear this warming but not bulky neck scarf!  found, yet again, on etsy.  if you’re not into this site, get with it!  click here
