Finally had the housewarming party last night. It was so nice to see so many friends, from college, from grad school, from my old school and from the neighborhood all come out and wish me success at IBB.
We had spiced and spiked cider, baked apples, orange-vanilla upside-down cake and pumpkin cookies amongst other fall treats. I’m glad I was finally able to host the party, it just makes things seem a little bit more official here around IBB.

LOVE the luminarias!
Yes, how do you keep them from setting the paper? bags on fire? 🙂
You know, I thought the same thing when I lit them… no trick really, It just worked.
