la la la love.

Just some random things I'm loving this cold tuesday.
- Cuuuute foxy stuff from redvelvetart.com, like this painting!
...and this fab kit.
- mitten weather.  This cold day brought a bit of motivation to finish up the knit mittens I have on the go at the moment.  I always love Silje's mittens... she makes some great fall designed ones.
- scheming to own a Mackage leather jacket from Aritzia. It's like gold, it's so lovely.

- my cute new Kurt Halsey necklace.

(not my photo)
- hot apple cider!
Here's my recipe for the girls who were interested....
-2 litres apple juice (preferably pressed, but any kind works great)
-2 cups cranberry juice/cocktail
-a splash of orange juice. just a splash.
-2 cinnamon sticks
-1/4 cup Cinnamon Dolce syrup from Starbucks (you can buy it there)
-1/4 cup brown sugar
-dash of nutmeg (optional, because some people don't like floaties, lol)
Combine all ingredients in a pot, and simmer until desired heat. Top with real whipped cream and caramel drizzle if you want it to resemble a Caramel Apple Spice. :)

look for my embroidery patterns on the rva site soon! :)

These patterns are great for fall tea towels to decorate your kitchen, or for cute wall art pieces, pillow cases, and more! <3
xoxo, holly

  1. Oooh that apple cider sounds so delicious right now! How much does the cinnamon dulce flavoring cost? I imagine it's a lot since it's from Sbux (oh, what a costly addiction it is!!) But I love Starbucks! Haha.
