It's time to meet my muppet....

Last week while in NYC for work - a rep took us to FAO to create our own Muppet Whatnots.....it was a blast and my Muppet (his name is Melvin) has now taken up residence in the Hanna House...

How it works: You select body color (green, blue, or orange)...eyes, nose, outfit, and accessories....then while you shop (or jump on the giant piano in our case) your Muppet Whatnot is customized and put in a clear backpack carrying case (complete with the puppet wand)...see below...

Mine is the green one in the Hawaiian outfit 2nd from the left

Melvin attracted lots of attention not only during our apres puppet whiskey bar drink outing - but on the plane back to RIC...he was precious carry on cargo.....but was too large for under the seat in front of me and was forced to ride in the overhead bin...it's not easy being Green!
5 Muppets, 4 New Yorkers, 3 Agency Gals, 2 Reps, 1 Out of Towner

Can't make it to NYC - you can create your own here!

Easy as Pie?

Can you believe it's already November?  Last weekend The Hanna House were in Northern, VA for Sara and Bill's wedding.  In honor of fall, Sara was so clever and wanted to have pies to fit the season instead of cake...see below...
Love the details - the cute chalk board signs and canisters full of pie filling to indicate which pie is which....and since they were mini....it was easy to try all four varieties....too cute!

Needless to say this was a huge hit at the wedding!  Congrats Sara and Bill - fun that they will have a anniversary tradition of pie every October 30th.


After the wedding it was home for more harvest activities - we carved our pumpkin for Halloween.  We were a little short on time this year so we went with the classic two tooth jack-o-lantern....sort of look like he's about to take a big bit out of that curvy gourd....

.....And had some visitors....Michael, Bridget (the bee...bzzz), and Laura
Guess its time to start think about Thanksgiving!
