5 favorites of fall: small gatherings

hosting small parties, purposeful ones and for no good reason parties, is something i cherish. 
and it's definitely something i look forward to this time of year as the holidays roll around.

tonight matt and max and i are having a small gathering of friends and family over for soup and pumpkin carving...caramel apples and kettle corn and bluegrass records.
there is nothing better than making a fuss over the people you love the most!

happy happy weekend, friends!
tomorrow, matt and i are heading over to my sister amy's house for her and nate's annual halloween party. our costumes are pretty ridiculous this year! 
i'll have lots to share come sunday.

    I love your blog but this post is one of my favorites. Your photos are so gorgeous as well as your outlook on life, family and friends. The line: "there is nothing better than making a fuss over the people you love the most" has been with me since the moment I read it. I'm trying to keep that in mind these next few months to truly focus on what the holidays are all about.

    small parties are my favorite because they're more intimate. yours looks fantastic, by the way.
