I will accept any/all of these items as gifts, thanks in advance! Except for the Bacon book, that’s for our friend Penn-ah. She loves bacon.
I am a Michigan girl at heart, and any true Michigan girl loves cider, especially fresh cider. I grew up in Rochester Hills and the surrounding area and every fall we went to Yates Cider Mill.

I miss it so much, watching them press the apples, having fresh cider and a hot, fresh donut to eat with it while we sat by the river. There cannot be a better way to spend a cool fall day.
Another place we spent some time at was Millers.

This was where we picked out our pumpkins each October and where we picked all our apples. It was a great family tradition that I am reminded of each year when the weather gets cool for about a day here in Texas.

and this is the house I am*very* excited about seeing:

I go into this realizing that I will never own a home quite like this, as they are a little out of my price range. However, a girl can dream, right?
These are all “green” homes — I have decided that when I do build a home, I’ll build it “green”. It’s just nice.

This is my absolute favorite.

However, I would not turn this one down either.

Seeing as how I work at a jewelry store 5 days out of the week, I can’t help but look at jewelry every time I see it. I don’t really like to *wear* it (I know, I’m weird) but I sure do like to buy it. I really like this necklace, and it’s a good price ($175). I’ll be back to look at more of her stuff!!!

I want a Jessie Steele apron. I have actually wanted one for awhile, but there are too many cute styles, how do I decide?
Here are my latest favorites:



I sometimes feel like one, so this video cracked me up
