{"Untraditional Pumpkin Arrangement" from Eddie Ross}

I am in love with these silvery green-grey pumpkins -- and they look fabulous paired with lavender and purple mums.

Speaking of, have you visited Eddie's blog? He's a Senior Style Editor at Martha Stewart Living and is currently appearing on season 2 of one of my favorite shows, Top Design. LOVE his blog - very creative, clever and inspirational - and Eddie is a darling, always sending sweet little notes when I've commented on his posts.

... and cross your legs. I just read that after innumerable television specials documenting the arrival of one child after another, the Duggars finally have their own regular TV show (a la Jon and Kate): 17 Kids and Counting. Let the backlash begin!*

I can't believe I missed the debut -- thank goodness it's on TLC, so I'm confident that it will be replayed ad infinitum.

New to this "can't.stop.watching" (maybe) cautionary tale for future mothers everywhere? Catch up here.

*NB: there will be no backlash from me, I am obsessed with this family and really any family that would a) subject themselves to the prying eyes of the TV watching public; b) subject themselves to raising MASSES amounts of children. As an only child, this is FASCINATING to me -- I've been following the Duggars via their occasional specials for years.
