Stuff to Read

• If you do a lot of vintage shopping, Mandi's got a great list of vintage shopping mistakes to avoid. 
• I absolutely love the Modern Etiquette on Design*Sponge and their newest posts about professional and personal correspondence is hugely helpful.  Any one that has to communicate with clients or co-workers should definitely take look!
• Carrie's got some basic photography tips for working with a DSLR.  Love that she shoots with Nikon ^_^

Stuff to Make

• You know when you look at something and go, "why didn't I think of that?!" This modern peg board in a gorgeous Melbourne town home is so simple and easy to make...seriously...why didn't I think of that?
• Well...this chevron clutch tutorial is in French.  But if you have some basic knowledge of sewing and crochet, I don't think it's too difficult to decifer ^_^ 
• I want to make this for myself for Halloween!  And to just have around the house.  I love comically large things.

Stuff to Wear

• Lauren Moffatt is one of my most favorite designers and this cape from a few years ago is calling to me!  Teal with a layered scallop collar?  Yes.
• Does anyone know where I can get this bag?  It's basic and beautiful!  Probably costs more than my rent...but still.
• Kitten socks!

Stuff to Eat

• S'mores cheese cake bars.  Because, s'mores.
• Samoa sugar cookies to help you get through the Girl Scout Cookie dry season.
• Have I ever mentioned my love for candy corn?  It's a love that runs deep.  These candy corn and white chocolate chip cookies give me another vehicle to put candy corn in my mouth!

Stuff from TPS this (and last!) Week

• We went to the most ridiculous tourist-trap in San Antonio and loved every minute.
• September's Daily Drawings. I love seeing them all next to each other!
• A little peek into life lately. 
• Thrifty Thursday was at Charm School Vintage in Austin this week.
• Last week's was Prototype Vintage.  My favorite spot in SoCo!
• We've been exploring Austin and I shared some shots of Walnut Creek Park.
