City Slicker to Country Pumpkins
Every year the Vashon Island Coffee Roasterie curates a collection of Jack O’ Lanterns and displays them all on the front porch of their historic building. It is incredibly charming and lovely and makes me want to just squeeze somebody’s cheeks to think that there’s a place where pumpkins can get displayed without fear of someone sneaking up in the middle of the night to roll the bunch down the nearest hill.
There are times that I feel like I am in a Disney flick or as many of you eluded to … an episode of the Gilmore Girls.

Shameless!
In the interest of full disclosure, please note that product links redirecting you to other sites such as Amazon
, BlueHost, Freshbooks and OpenSky may take you a purchase page of a company where I am a member of an affiliate program. As a result, I will often get a small percentage of the revenue or a commission off of something you have purchased. I am not otherwise paid to link to these sites, nor do I link to any products that I don't actually use or covet in real life. On the rare occasion I accept payment to review a product, it will be duly noted in its associated post.
Have no fear - you are under no obligation to buy anything to get the full enjoyment of this site. We can still be friends even if you never click on an affiliate link. Rest assured, this is all low pressure. I will never show up at your door with tiny vials of Avon perfume or trial jars of pearl cream to entice you. That said, I do truly appreciate when you do purchase something from a linked site - it all helps to keep the lights on and a roof over our heads.

Just embrace the whole Gilmore Girls thing and don’t cook! Just have some pop tarts and coffee handy and you are good to go!
I found you by accident and I really enjoy your blog. As a former single mom (10 years and then very happily remarried – worth the wait!) I alternately laugh, pray and sympathize with the small parts of your life you share.
Good Luck!!
Oh. My. GOD. You are TOTALLY an episode of the Gilmore Girls.
I’m horrified I didn’t think of that first.

is a few miles form where I live and also gives me that squishy feeling inside. This guy devotes the whole month of October to completely cover his house in pumpkins. It really brings the community together (volunteers/gawkers). I love love love it.

DEFINITELY something straight out of Gilmore Girls.

I sometimes feel that Ballard is my own Stars Hollow. If we had a diner that served awesome food with an angry (but good looking) owner, it’d be complete.

A rare place indeed!
We have to put our pumpkins INSIDE, in the front window, otherwise they’d likely be smashed.
