Current Obsessions: Sweater Weather

Suddenly it’s October, and where (most of) our editors live, we’re getting out the layers—in our closets and around the house, too. Read on for fall events, the bedding we’re spotting everywhere, and more—plus a discount on our new (sixth!) book. Have a restful weekend, and read on:

• The countdown is on! Our new book, Gardenista: The Low-Impact Garden, comes out on October 14. To celebrate, our publisher is offering a 20 percent discount when you order via their site, now through October 13. Use code GARDENISTA20 at checkout.
• Upstaters, heads-up: Our friends at Hort & Pott are opening up their fleeting annual seasonal shop this weekend and next. “This is an open invitation for visitors to step inside, fall in love with handcrafted ceramic vessels, vintage charms, lanterns and torches aglow, botanicals, cast stone creatures, and storied artwork.” Find details here.
