Fall is my favorite season and it enjoy it to the fullest, I like to create a bucket list of things to do. Most of the items can be done for little to no dolla-dolla bills and you will be spending lots of time with your friends and family. Just how I like it! I started compiling a list of my favorite fall activities after realizing how successful our holiday advent calendar was during December. I figured why not priorities some fun fall activities as well?!

Our 2016 Family Photos and Holiday Cards with Minted
We just got our Christmas cards from Minted to mail out and I wanted to share them with you! Last year we took our family photos at our cabin in Tahoe and we loved how the pictures turned out, so we decided to take them there again this year. I found a local Tahoe photographer, Brandi at Indigo Photography, to work with and she made the session so easy and fun. We took the pics at our annual friendsgiving weekend and so she was able to take our pics and some of our friend’s pictures as well. Win, win!
We went with Minted again to print our holiday cards because of their amazing selection of designs. There are so many great looking designs to choose from and they’re all fully customizable. For instance, if there a card design that you like and it says “Merry Christmas”, you can change it to say “Happy Holidays”. Easy peasy. Also another thing about Minted that I love is that I can have them print out all of the envelope addresses for me. Perfect way to make that pretty card complete is with a matching, just as pretty, printed envelope in a matching style. I used their concierge service last year and I’ll never go back! Oh and did I mention? We got matching STAMPS too?! You can’t get much better than that, right? Minted has thought of it all.
Here are our cards and some of our favorites pictures from our photo session with Brandi:

Home Trends | Halloween Décor
The scariest part of Halloween is the thought of my house starting to look like a cheesy party supply store. I want my décor to look festive without throwing off the aesthetic of my home and Halloween is one of those holidays where that can be a challenge! So after much searching, I’m excited to reveal 16 sleek and stylish items that will add the perfect touch of Halloween spook to your home. Warning: you might be tempted to leave them out year-round!
Don’t have the best luck with Pinterest projects? Don’t worry, this decorative pumpkin is already painted black matte.
Every home needs a serving tray. The black finish works great for Halloween and will go with everything.
Festive Finds with Nespresso and Sur La Table
In the meantime I figured I’d resurrect some old favorites. The Saturday Shopping post is one! #FiveforFifty will be back and better than ever too, with a slight twist. I’ll talk more about that one later though…
So back to the Saturday Shopping feature! Today’s post is a combination of Saturday Shopping and an awesome giveaway and the theme? Festive Finds! We’ve been prepping the house for a bunch of upcoming events, the first up is Friendsgiving. We love having friends over for some turkey and all of the fixings. It’s a great way to catch up with everyone before the crazy part of the holidays begin 😉
When I was setting up my fall table-scape, I realized we were missing some holiday hosting essentials. So last week the Mr and I stocked up on bunch of entertaining goodies at Sur La Table. Oh and did I mention? We hit up the Nespresso boutique first. Our Nespresso supply was pretty much non-existent, with only a couple of Decaffeinato capsules left. Therefore we were nice and energized when we finally arrived at Sur La Table 😉
I had the monthly special: A honey latte with almond milk and a dash of cinnamon on top! |
Nespresso really has me addicted. I adore a good frothy latte in the morning. And I’m pretty picky when it comes to my coffee beverage. Nespresso has done me good on that front. I reached out to them a year or so ago and was able to check out their UMilk which I love and then again when they first released their VertuoLine. The VertuoLine does both coffee and espresso – something for everyone right? Now I’m back with Nespresso once again to offer you lucky readers a chance to win a Nespresso VertuoLine (value of $299) of your very own! I’m so excited that I get to do a giveaway this time around! I know you guys have been asking for one. Details on how to enter below.
Now back to my Sur La Table trip – I just might have gone a little overboard. Can I blame it on too much caffeine? Probably not 😉 Sur La Table has some amazing prices, like the set of eight herringbone napkins or the marble and wood cheese platter both only $24. I could spend hours there, and we sort of did! Here are a bunch of items I either brought home, almost brought home, and really, really wanted to bring home!

I was compensated for this post by receiving a trip to the Nespresso Boutique and Sur La Table, as well as gift cards to use while there. Thank you for supporting Copy Cat Chic, Nespresso and Sur La Table!
