Pumpkins & Foliage

I'm pretty sure this is the last of the October photos I wanted to share. The photos of pumpkins and gourds are from a farm stand in Sleepy Hollow. The fall foliage shots were taken right from my front door.

Sleepy Hollow

Like I said, I'm a bit behind on sharing my October photos. These are from a few days before Halloween at Sleepy Hollow Cemetery. We went there this time last year too. I love walking through the cemetery, it's a very beautiful place. We walked through a vacant outdoor haunted house again as well.  I promise only a few more October photos and then I'm willing to move on, though it's already getting so cold I don't think I want to.

Halloween Eve

If you've seen my recent posts you can probably see I have been having a very outdoorsy Autumn, which is just how I like it.  Tomorrow is Halloween! For the last few years my costume has just been to wear something that feels Halloween to me. Usually that is all black, with lots of textures like lace or velvet, and either a spooky/romantic mask or headpiece. This year I'll be wearing a cute cat mask that has whiskers on it, a lacey black dress, some dark red lips, and a jacket that is yet to be determined. What are you going as for Halloween?

cider days

Fall To Do: Wake up, make yourself a delicious smoothie, put on a cozy sweater, drive around with some good tunes playing, go to all the farms/farm markets you can find,  sip hot cider, eat cider donuts, admire pumpkins, buy some local cider to take home for later, go to some abandoned places, hike up to a spot with an amazing view of the Hudson River, huge plate of various veggies for dinner, horror movie & cuddles at night. Put this day on your fall to do list.. Love every minute. We did it, it ruled.

fall adventures

It's been a while since I have posted anything on here, I have been busy with a renovation John and I are working on. We have been spending as much time as we can hiking and taking little adventures before Winter is here. Though we will probably bundle and spend much time outside year long. These photos are from a short hike we took in Rockland to 'the tunnels'. The project we are working on is almost done and then I will be posting here more often. I have lots of Autumn photos to share!

a day in Da Bronx

Last week we had a little adventure to da Bronx. John's mom has been talking about wanting to visit the neighborhood she grew up in, so John drove us all down for a little day trip! We got to see the house she lived in, her favorite pizza place, the school she went to, her favorite bakery, and hear stories from her childhood. We also had some real good pizza which I had been craving since being in Brooklyn the night before and not getting any. Anyway, I think we made his Mom very happy. It was a really nice day that we are thinking of making into a fall tradition.

Don't forget to check out my tumblr for The Fancy Bear Vintage! I've been posting shop updates, but also some outfits, random vintage inspired things and almost selfies! (this is my first time using the word "selfie", by the way).. anyway... you just might find a nice fall coupon code if you scroll through too!

Rail Trailin'

Photos from the last weekend in October, in New Paltz, NY. I sure do miss having the rail trail just a few steps away from my front door.

Batting Rocks into the Hudson

 A chilly Fall day spent hiking with the boys and playing along the Hudson. I'm getting kinda sad that it will soon be more than a little too chilly for days like this. I definitely don't mind getting cozy with a movie inside, but playing outdoors is my favorite.

The cozy-cute-hat-scarf I'm wearing belonged to my great aunt and pretty much lives on my head all winter long. I'm selling one similar to it in the shop!

Photos of me taken by John, others are by me.
