Life lately- early fall 2023

 It's that time of the year when the leaves start changing colour, and sweater weather is truly back:) (It's also October so that means Halloween is coming....yay!)

Some stuff we've been up to lately:)

1) Shopping at flea market



2) Pumpkin season is here!


3)Our annual trip to Martyr's Shrine at Midland, Ontario happened.
               





4) Finished the live action version of One Piece (Netflix)
We all loved this show!


5) My latest YouTube video talks about how being a YouTuber has helped me in my artistic journey:)


5) I've read 74 books this year so far (the most I've read in years), and my sisters and sis-in-law started a YouTube channel where we share our book club meetings. 

I did a YT short talking about one of my fave books of the year:)


And currently reading:
Book 2 of the Crescent City series by Sarah J Maas (800 pages...lolz)

How is the beginning of the fall season for you? Do share!

So great to see what you guys have been up too. Oh, I was hoping for leaves to turn here, but not yet. It has been hot. Not like the Septembers I am fond of. Here's hoping we have a great October! Great to hear about the live action show. I must tune in for sure! Great to see you guys at the market and church too.

Awesome about so many books you are reading. I usually have to check out a few at the library, but if I get them on the new list, it's just to skim through them and read later since I don't want to hold up any holds. Maas' books are always on hold!

How are you and the new Doc Martens doing? I was thinking of a pair I'd like (black and not a high top) but I was looking at reviews. Of course, they are well-loved, but they are heavy to wear.

Here's to your creativity this October. All the best to staying well and lots of beautiful family moments!

Fall looks brisk there! We're still in the 90s but I think cooler temps are finally coming (fingers crossed)

So much wonderful family fun! It's amazing that you've managed to read 74 books so far this year! I've lagged a little in my reading during the summer but I'm hoping to get back into the groove again now that fall has arrived. It still feels like summer in NYC but I'm not going to complain since it'll probably be cold soon enough. At least the heavy rain finally let up and we were able to have our yard sale yesterday. I made a whole $15 LOL but more importantly I was able to get rid of stuff that I don't need ;) Here's to a fantastic October chingu <3

 If you've been reading my blog for the past few months, then you know my love for Alabama Chanin. Here's the newest addition to my wardrobe. :) Alabama Chanin Flora Waffle Sweatshirt, worn with North Face jacket, UNIQLO pants, and Vans sneakers The organic waffle knit fabric is naturally dyed using Sappanwood sawdust, and the foliage design is hand-painted! What I love about Alabama Chanin is that many of their pieces are one-of-a-kind. PS It was my eldest's birthday when these pics were taken:) How was your weekend? Any new purchases lately?

Some analogue love #2

Here are some recent shots taken with my Pentax K1000 film camera. I decided to mail my films and have them developed at Downtown Camera , and oh my gosh, you guys! Such a big difference with how they turned out. So so happy, and will be sending all my 35mm films to them from now on. (All these shots were how they were sent to me...no editing. Used Fujifilm ISO200 films.)
