E & me {autumn leaves}

Bonjour l'automne !

Hello autumn!

This is my favourite season.

On this week's E & me, there are 

maple leaves here, there & everywhere.

Any idea which fall foliage is on Erin's side of the world 

& which leaves are here in Les Alpes?

Something I've learned in the last four years...

« Aimer, ce n'est pas regarder l'un l'autre,

c'est regarder ensemble dans la même direction. »

"Love does not consist of gazing at each other, 

but of looking outward together in the same direction."

E & me {school essentials}

It's still September, 

so Erin & I can continue to geek out 

with another back-to-school themed E & me, right?

This week, it's all about the essentials: 

new notepaper & apples for the teacher.

As you can see, there's a subtle but major difference

between the two notepads.  

Any ideas why?  

Which one would you prefer to write on?

E & me {school supplies}

Last week's E & me featured those horrendous back-to-school ads.

Ick.

This week?  

Same theme, but we're comparing something a lot more charming, 

{I say that while assuming that you just as geeky as Erin & I...}

School supplies, whee!

And no,  I won't give you a pop quiz by asking you to guess 

which scissors are whose...

Instasamedi {14}

Instasamedi for the first week of September?

It's all about slippers, sun, school kids & a swan.

{OK & geeky alliteration too.}

Saturday slippers.

The day before back-to-school...
This girl who I saw at a local bookstore must have been happy, don't you think?
