Drumroll...

According to the "True Random Number Generator" at random.org, the winner of the Fall Friday Giveaway is #36 (coincidentally, my favorite number) - that's you, EllenQ!

Ellen had this to say about fall:

Those embroidery patterns are just unbelievably cute, I can't stand it. During undergrad, I always went apple picking with friends and baked pies and made applesauce. One of these years (not this one, dissertation writing-arrgh), I'm going to do it again, I loved it!

I say, take a break and go pick some apples - your dissertation will still be there when you get back!

Thank you all so much for playing - I loved, loved, loved reading your comments. Honestly, every single one made my day. I share many of your favorite things about the season, and I'll definitely be trying some of your recipes (er, perhaps "encouraging Nate to try some of your recipes" would be more accurate). I'm also really enjoying everyone's blogs; I'm working on making my way to all of them to say 'hello.' If I haven't been there yet, I should be popping by your place soon - leave a light on for me, okay?
