{ National Vinegar Day - Sat., November 1st }

OMGawsh! Inside Out now offers O Olive Oil and Vinegars. I love bringing elegant bottles of O Champagne Vinegar to Holiday Parties - who doesn't love to bring an original hostess gift and this one is super affordable, too (WAYunder $20). Their Balsamic is sweet and divine. And, the bottles look amazing in my mid-century, modern kitchen. But, why-O-whyyyy can't they come in gallon jugs?! The stuff is just so very good. Pop into the shop this Saturday and sample some for yourself...

While you're visiting, take a peek at this terraced olive oil dipping dish, or "pinzimonio", featured in InStyle, New York Magazine, Wine Spectator, Gourmet, Elle Decor, Oprah and many more. It's the perfect vessel to highlight the rich color of O Olive Oils. The hand-finished, terracotta, white-glazed dish is a surprising, simple-yet-sophisticated way to start conversation and meals. Happy Vinegar Day!

Starting a family tradition is as easy as going to one of the Pumpkin Farms in the Snohomish Valley, with views of Cascade Mountains, and real working farms..this experience is outstanding!

Begin in the Historic District of Snohomish with breakfast, take in a few stores for Halloween decor and fun, then head for the farms when the sun is warm to select fresh gourds, take hay rides, get cornfused in a maze...and pick out that perfect pumpkin...or two, or three....wear sturdy shoes! www.festivalofpumpkins.org
