Happy Monday after Thanksgiving! I hope this finds everyone well  rested and satiated with the memories of a holiday well spent. I had a wonderful time with the Mister's family.  We cooked, we ate, we lounged around in our pajamas. I made this brown butter apple tart which looks alot like the picture from Bon Appetit. Looks like I did it right, then. 

After a short trip to Knoxville to visit family, the Mister and I got to spend some much needed quality time with one another by coming home early and having the weekend to ourselves. We enjoyed shopping on Small Business Saturday. We relaxed with some pedicures and then we stayed in and took turns cooking for one another, he on Friday and me on Saturday night. I have a lovely smoky sweet potato bisque from this weekend to share with you soon. 

I also found some time over the weekend to think about upcoming Christmas holiday and to browse for inspiration, a luxury that had escaped me over these last few busy weeks.  I was able to find some recipes, think about new traditions and plan out my calendar for this festive month. It's shaping up to be a good one and I can't wait to share it with you. 

This week, as I take time to plan for the upcoming month, I've decided to share some of the backlogged posts from our wedding. There are still some DIY projects that I wanted to share as well as a sneak peek of our wedding photos and a few other things that got lost in the midst of bridal mania. This blog is my time capsule, a place for me to share the meaningful bits of my life. I hope that I can always come back and see all the wonderful things that have happened. 
 
Next week, we're back to food. I have the perfect winter breakfast, a spiced pumpkin dessert and a smoky bisque recipe I think you're going to love. Until then, I hope you enjoy a look back at our handmade wedding.
