Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween everyone! We aren't sure what to expect this evening but the pumpkins are carved and candy is stocked.

Miss Piggy

Miss Piggy steals the show in the latest issue of Instyle magazine! Kermi must be very proud.

Gobble Gobble

I know I know, Thanksgiving weekend has come and gone but I just love these dish wares from West Elm.

Inconceivable

I came across this photo and article a couple of days ago and had to share it. My sister and I are huge Princess Bride fans. When I say huge I mean we can recite the entire movie, steep hills are instantly called the cliffs of insanity, we have been known to yell "INCONCEIVABLE!" or "As you wish" while we roll down sand dunes and on our trip to Australia a couple of years ago I am quite certain we saw an actual R.O.U.S. [Rodent of unusual size].

The Smell of Fall

Things I love most about fall: The specialty coffees, the crisp temperature that is perfect for fleecy wearing. Also perfect for hiking and running. Below are a few snaps from the long weekend spent in the Wentworth Valley.

Wet Felting

A couple of weeks ago I took a wet felting course at Gaspereau Valley Fibres in Wolfville N.S. Louise and Elaine of Fibre Ensemble were our fantastic [and patient] instructors. Everyone in the class left with their very own wet felted laptop cozy and, for me, a new hobby [oh great!]. Below are a few photos that I took throughout the day. I will post my a photo of the final piece next week when I've had a chance to add a few decorative elements. Have a great Thanksgiving weekend everyone!

Here's to the Crazy Ones

Made By More

I really love the work and blog of Made More & Co. This particular piece caught my eye.

Fall

The new Anthropologie catalogue captures all things fall!

Colourful Acorns

It was this particular felting project that made me want to pick up this new hobby. I kept seeing these felted acorns on Etsy and thought that they were just the cutest things. I have been patiently waiting for acorns to hit the ground and a few weeks ago, there they were! Below is a photo series that shows a bit of the process of making these felted little guys.

See you in a few days

I am going to be taking a few days off from the blog-o-sphere. Between, very recently, starting a new job and life stuff, keeping up with posts has become like a chore and I certainly don't want Half Sweet to ever be like that. Have a great week! Photo found here.

Made by Julene

I hope you had a great weekend. I took a wet felting course and I can't wait to share some of the snaps! While I am still sorting through photos that I took today's post is the work of Julene Harrison or MadebyJulene. An incredible paper artist based out of the UK... those paper cuts are incredible!

Elena Mir

There is something about artist, Elena Mir's illustrations that I just love.

Pencil Love

These pencils would be a great addition to any desk! Found here.

Back To The Start

I love this animated short for Chipolte Grill.

Gaff Point

Some snaps from this weekend's Gaff Point Hike. Located in Kingsburg on the South Shore of Nova Scotia. It was beeaauuu-ti-ful!

Setting The Scene

Not to long ago I discovered J. Crew's tumblr roll and I have been an avid follower ever since. As you probably know from older posts, I love a sneak peek into any creative process so I thought would share this peek... photos from J. Crew's location scout are left and right is the final shot! Talk about a dream job. Click here to see the original post.

A few snippets from our wonderful road trip to Prince Edward Island last weekend. These particular snippets include, Basin Head Beach and the East Point Lighthouse.
