on apple pie and the feeling of fall
hello,
happy fall.
\\\\\

it seems crazy to me
that it's arrived so soon.
as though i blinked
and that season we call summer,
vanished out the back door.
vanished out the back door.
i've got plans for autumn though.
big. grand. plans.
i'm going to pick the apples and brew tea
and i'm going to make pie.
and you know what,
there's something innately
satisfying in that.
something innately satisfying
in the pleasures of the season upon us.
there's something to rolling pastry

there's something to rolling pastry
and peeling apples.
something about butter and
nutmeg and cinnamon and spice.
something about perfecting an old fashioned crust.

for me pie is a rustic affair.
something like a weekend cake,
country in its style and easy in its making.
and to me, a good pie is meant to be shared
and so, a good pie is fit to travel.

I'm so excited to do the same this weekend. I think I'll put extra cinnamon in the crust and eat them a la mode, of course.
so inspiring, Nikole. so glad HG is getting so much great press.
Thanks Erica! xo
I adore your photographs. I know they're just of your day-to-day but they remind me so much of Laura Letinsky who is incredible.
I love the prop styling.
Darcy, I've never seen Laura Letinsky's work before now, but wow, it's so beautiful. Thanks so much for the introduction and the kind comparison!
Thanks Jay!
beautiful nikole :) bummed I missed you this time but next time we will make a fuss in the city. Congrats on the features in the mags, well deserved. I love the apple shots and cant wait to get apple picking upstate. I adore your huge marble surface and dream that one day I will actually have SPACE :) xx n
it is totally pie season! mmmm!

Very nice, thanks for sharing.
This sounds like the best of plans. Autumn always feels so magical (and so do your images).
just made apple pie myself a few days ago with some very cheap cooking apples from local car boot sale...it was so good:)
congrats on the press nikole
and michael is an amazing photographer!
looks so good. you are creating such a mood.
that first shot of the 90 degree table is amazing.....i would love to have that blown up wall size and sit it in my living room during the fall. xo

mmm...delicious. Perhaps a homemade apple pie is in my future. With melted cheddar on top of course.
A beautiful post. Thank you. x
beautiful photos!
oh so sorry! i discovered your gorgeous blog over the weekend and "borrowed" a gorgeous picture for a last minute panic post at http://mlleparadis.blogspot.com. (monday bites october 17th, '11)
i hadn't seen your request to request BEFORE.
i've credited you and linked back here but i will now go and give your photographer his credit.
really again - why hadn't i discovered you before? hope you don't mind. i'll take down the pic if you want me too. in all cases thanks! i'll be back to visit.
Your recounting makes me realize how much I too yearn to get away from our self imposed hustle and bustle in favor of enjoying the simpler things in life. Loved your words and pictures of the experience!
This is stunning. I love the negative space.
I yearn for a pie! I live in China where it's very tricky to get pies or pastry for that matter. Your photos are stunning.

Wow, I'm in love with the first photo. The wall that goes on forever. The colors. On and on, I could.
Beautiful.
these photos are all quite lovely, if i do say so myself.
