Real spiderwebs caught on glass. Emil “Rocky” Fiore catches the meticulous webs of many different species of spiders that make their home off the Hudson Piers. The webs are "caught" in an unusual way—and there's a video of the process:






The spiderwebs on glass are available for purchase here.

Happy Halloween!

After an incredible trip, we are back home in Portland. I'm a bit jetlagged at the moment, but when I have myself all sorted, I will post a bit more about our trip!

It's so fun to be back in town for my favorite time of year. We're drinking pumpkin ale and getting into the autumnal spirit.

I just saw these adorable Halloween party invitations from Rifle Paper Co. Once we're back from our trip, it will be high time we started thinking about our costumes. Last year I was a sailor and before that a matador. Hmm... We'll have to put this on the back burner.

After watching scary movies and baking all day, we are off to a costume party at one of our Halloween-obsessed friend's house. We're bringing brain creepcakes, one of the many creative Halloween recipes available on marthastewart.com. How disgusting and utterly perfect for zombie movie fans!

N.B. Don't use the suggested Swiss merinque buttercream icing for the brain—it curdles and is rather finicky. Instead, use the cream cheese frosting from pinchmysalt.

Also, in honor of Halloween, I present the scariest non-scary movie of all time: The Peanut Butter Solution [1985] and because I grew up about an hour away from Sleepy Hollow, Disney's The Legend of Sleepy Hollow [1952] and also The Skeleton Dance [1929].

Crafted in South America according to local lore.
