Now that things are starting to look like fall around here
and the long weekend is over
and the turkey is all gone (or will be after I make turkey pot pies for dinner tonight)

1. a paella pan
2. a panini press
3. a flash for my camera
4. this FABULOUS necklace (with the diamond moved to the lower left corner)
5. since my computer is on it's last leg, a MacBook
