In September, Burton shared a series of photos as she took her son Augustus and daughter George back to school shopping — but instead of going to "the mall or Target," Burton brought her kids to Spirit Halloween and the New York Renaissance Faire.
The proud mom could be seen smiling with her kids in one photo, all three posing in costumes. Donning a blue dress with a sparkly cape, George posed in front of different booths at the Renaissance Faire, while Gus opted for a leather shoulder covering and billowy shirt.
"I suppose some families go back to school shopping at the mall or Target," Burton began her caption. "We opted for the @spirithalloween store and the @newyorkrenaissancefaire this weekend."
"Why buy new sneakers when you can get leather armor and dragons?!?! And jousting is pretty much football…..with a stick and horses. Stay weird, everybody. ✨💖," she concluded.
In April, Morgan and Burton walked the red carpet of the 8th Canneseries Festival in Cannes, France, with their two children. At the event, a preview was shown for the latest season of the hit spinoff series that Morgan leads with co-star Lauren Cohan.
The family of four were all smiles as they posed for pictures together. Morgan wore an all black outfit, while his wife adorned a black dress with floral designs.
Their son Augustus matched his father's look, switching a black shirt for a white one, while their daughter George wore a bright yellow dress. Morgan, Burton and Augustus also had a pair of sunglasses to complete the look.

Malcolm-Jamal Warner's ‘Cosby' sister Keshia Knight Pulliam pays tribute: ‘I gained an angel'
Keshia Knight Pulliam, who shared the screen with Malcolm-Jamal Warner on 'The Cosby Show,' highlighted the Emmy-nominated actor's musical talents as she broke her silence on his death. Pulliam on Sunday shared an Instagram video of Warner playing the bass at Atlanta's City Winery. She shared the video of Warner, best known for his portrayal of clean-cut Theodore Huxtable, a week after he drowned while swimming in the Caribbean off Costa Rica. He was 54. 'A week ago I lost my big brother but I gained an angel,' Pulliam captioned her video. She played Rudy Huxtable, the youngest of the TV family's children. 'I love you... I miss you,' she added, before referencing the other Huxtable children. 'We got our girls.' 'House of Payne' star Pulliam, 46, is the latest 'Cosby Show' star to mourn Warner. As news of the actor-musician's death spread last week, co-stars including Bill Cosby, Geoffrey Owens and Raven-Symoné paid tribute. Cosby told CBS News last week he and co-star Phylicia Rashad were 'embracing each other over the phone' when they learned of Warner's death. 'He was never afraid to go to his room and study. He knew his lines and that he was quite comfortable even with the growing pains of a being a teenager,' Cosby said of Warner. Owens, who appeared as Warner's on-screen brother-in-law, Elvin Tibideaux, said in a statement shared with Deadline that his co-star's death had left him speechless. 'Malcolm was a lovely man; a sweet and sensitive soul. I respected him for many reasons, including the fact that he genuinely loved the act of creation,' he said. Warner, also a TV director and a Grammy-winning musician, was on vacation with his family at the time of his death. He was swimming when a current pulled him deeper into the ocean. The Red Cross in Costa Rica confirmed to The Times last week that its first responders also tended to another man in the same drowning incident that claimed Warner's life. The patient, whose identity was not disclosed, survived. First responders found Warner without vital signs, and he was taken to the morgue. As news of his death spread last week, his Hollywood peers, including Morris Chestnut, Tracee Ellis Ross, Viola Davis and Niecy Nash also paid tribute on social media. Beyoncé honored the actor, briefly updating her website to include a tribute to the TV star. Pulliam also thanked fans on Sunday for their support as she mourned. 'Thank you for every text, call and all the love that you have sent my way,' she said in an Instagram story. 'I've just needed a moment.' City Winery in Atlanta, the venue from Pulliam's video, will host an event in Warner's honor on Wednesday. 'This tribute is our communal offering to say: Thank you. For the way he gave, for the work he created, for the bridges he built between TV, poetry, music, and love,' says the event website. According to the site, all profits will go to Warner's family. He is survived by his wife and daughter.

Handcrafted Details Are Redefining Comfort in Home Decor
LA Times Studios may earn commission from purchases made through our links. Scan the latest home tours on Instagram or TikTok, and you'll spot it immediately: cookie-cutter decor is out, character is in. Spaces layered with handcrafted ceramics, aged wood, and embroidered linens feel instantly more intimate. A quiet rebellion against the era of mass-produced everything. In 2025, handcrafted home decor has become the design world's answer to the search for real comfort and connection. The result? Rooms with a little bit of imperfection, by design. The pivot toward artisan design didn't just happen in a vacuum. Remote work blurred boundaries, digital burnout hit hard, and people started seeking comfort that couldn't be ordered in bulk. At the heart of this shift: a craving for objects that feel alive — human, tactile, and original. The makers at Olive Ateliers, one of LA's most influential sources for globally sourced, handcrafted decor, have seen the appetite for authenticity explode. When asked why handmade objects resonate, they cut straight to the core: 'You can feel when something has been touched by human hands. There's an intimacy and soul that comes from knowing someone shaped it slowly. These pieces carry stories and a quiet depth that mass-produced objects don't.' It's not just sentiment; it's strategy. Research into 2025 interior trends shows a spike in searches for 'artisan home decor' and 'authentic interiors,' especially among millennials and Gen Z. The social media algorithm, once obsessed with minimalist monotony, is now hooked on the visual richness and textural contrasts of the handmade. Handcrafted doesn't mean homespun. The new guard of interior designers knows that artisan pieces don't have to compete with refinement; they can elevate it. The trick? Curation, contrast, and a little restraint. Olive Ateliers, whose pieces have become staples in some of 2025's most-watched interiors, offers a clear approach: 'Pair an oversized vessel with more tailored, pleated-skirt furniture, or let an Elm Wood Stool sit in a pared-back space. It's about balance, giving these handmade objects room to breathe so they become focal points that add soul without tipping into rustic.' Consider the effect of a monumental, one-of-a-kind olive Jar placed at the entry, its sun-bleached surface catching the light, set against the crisp lines of contemporary furniture. These aren't just the new 'design punctuation,' proof that the right piece, properly showcased, can anchor a space. Pro tip: Let each artisan object stand alone. Resist the urge to fill every empty corner. When handcrafted details are given visual breathing room, their textures and histories become the quiet, grounding presence that modern rooms so often lack. There's a reason 'wabi-sabi' has entered the Western design vernacular. Handcrafted objects, by definition, come with quirks — an uneven glaze, a sun-faded edge, a table with visible signs of past dinners and late-night conversations. Far from feeling precious, these imperfections are what make a room feel inviting. As Olive Ateliers puts it: 'Perfection can feel cold. A piece with a sun-faded edge or a dining table with signs of past use carries a sense of life. When you welcome imperfection, your space instantly feels more relaxed and inviting, like it's ready to be lived in, not just looked at.' This emotional resonance isn't just anecdotal. Experts in authentic interiors point to the powerful sense of comfort created by visible history and honest materials. It's the difference between a room you pass through and one you settle into. The most compelling homes don't just display handmade pieces; they use them. A hand-glazed bowl overflowing with fruit on a kitchen island. A reclaimed elm bench in an entryway, scarred and gorgeous. Heavy linen curtains that move with the breeze, stitched by hand. Designers sourcing for high-profile clients increasingly look for objects with a narrative. Not just another vase, but a vessel made by a potter who signs each piece. Not just any rug, but a textile handwoven by a women's collective, visible knots and all. These details add a layer of meaning and become instant conversation starters. Of course, not every 'handcrafted' label means the real deal. The market is awash with mass-produced objects dressed up to look artisanal, especially as the demand for 'authentic' aesthetics rises. The savvy design set is learning to spot the difference: real pieces show signs of touch, weight, and honest materiality. The fakes, less so. Cost can also be a barrier. True artisan work is rarely cheap. But advocates argue that buying less and buying better ultimately delivers more comfort and less landfill waste. Another misconception? That imperfection is easy to style. In reality, it requires restraint and a good eye. Overload the space with too many handcrafted pieces and you risk a look that's busy, not beautiful. There's also the question of sustainability and ethics. Not every maker, studio, or retailer operates with transparent sourcing or fair labor practices. Context matters; provenance is part of the story. As Olive Ateliers emphasizes, 'These pieces carry stories,' and discerning buyers want to know exactly what those stories are. Why is this movement sticking around when other 'home trends' burn out fast? In a world obsessed with speed and sameness, handcrafted home decor brings presence, calm, and individuality. There's a generational shift toward choosing objects that feel good to live with, sometimes even for their flaws. Expect to see more: The through-line is, a Olive Ateliers says, an intimacy and soul that comes from knowing someone shaped it slowly. Handcrafted home decor isn't about achieving a certain aesthetic but letting objects with a soul guide the mood of a room. 'When you welcome imperfection, your space instantly feels more relaxed and inviting, like it's ready to be lived in, not just looked at,' Olive Ateliers reminds. The new luxury? A sense of depth and connection that can't be bought off the shelf.

"I'm still in shock and still processing the fact that he's gone," Maine wrote of his son. "Still confused, still questioning life and why my child and not me." "Zeke, I thank you for granting me one of the greatest gifts I've ever received, fatherhood!" he continued. "The experience and bond with you and I brought me purpose... Since 16 July, your village has been crushed, and we're hurting. This is a pain I've personally never felt before, but I'm still trusting and believing in God's plan and God's will and mercy. You'll always be my Prince." Nicki Minaj was quick to respond: "I don't even believe what I just read. You guys raised the most incredible young man. We are praying for your whole family, Mack. We love you so much." Maine, real name Jermaine Anthony Preyan, was named president of Lil Wayne's record label Young Money Entertainment in 2009.
