Paper Source - Yoga Pants Card

I came across this card at Paper Source over the weekend and had to snap a photo because it's so true, haha!  And while I'm sure there are plenty of people that actually wear yoga pants to work out in.... but it's safe to say I'm not exactly one of them.  I hope this can give you a little chuckle on this Wednesday!

Georgetown Cupcake - Midnight Cookies and Creme + Chocolate Ghost Cupcakes

I love that Georgetown Cupcake has a lot more Halloween-themed cupcake flavors this year - the more new flavors the better!  

Here we have the Midnight Cookies and Creme (Valrhona chocolate cupcake topped with a milk chocolate cookies & crème buttercream frosting and cookie crumbles) and the Chocolate Ghost (Valrhona Chocolate cupcake topped with whipped Callebaut chocolate ganache frosting and decorated with a white fondant ghost) cupcakes.  Both cupcake flavors are perfect for any chocolate lovers!  

The extra cookie crumbles on the Midnight Cookies and Creme cupcake add lots of texture and extra chocolate flavor.  The Chocolate Ghost is a fun twist on the regular menu Chocolate Squared cupcake, and the thick chocolate ganache frosting adds a decadent touch.  And the little fondant ghost makes this perfect for a Halloween treat or a party.  Be sure to check out all of the fun Halloween flavors being offered this year!

Duck Donuts - Pumpkin Pie Doughnut

This pumpkin pie doughnut from Duck Donuts is the perfect fall doughnut!  As soon as I saw this flavor advertised on their Facebook page, I knew I had to go check it out.  The delicious smell hit me as soon as I opened up the box, and it's a strong, perfect blend of pumpkin pie spices.  This wasn't so much a thick frosting, but you could taste the spices and glaze with every bite - perfect with a cup of coffee! If you like pumpkin spice flavors this doughnut is a must-have!

Target - Pumpkin Pie Towels

A few weeks ago I noticed a nice display at the front area of my local Target, with lots of Fall and Thanksgiving-themed dinnerware and kitchen items.  When I went again recently, I was happy to see all of the items in that section now on clearance!  

I had my eye on this set of pumpkin pie flour sack towels, and of course at $1.75 (+ Target Cartwheel discount) I had to get it!  There are lots of serving dishes, mini dip bowls, and dessert plates - including a Latte-themed plate that I already bought previously which is super cute.  Be sure to check out this section at your Target if you're in the market for some new Thanksgiving wares or Fall kitchen items.
