Happy November - What We're Eating!

Happy November friends! It’s here! And, thankfully, it came in with some wonderful, much needed rain here. I can’t express how exciting that is when you’ve been in a drought for so long.  I hope you all have a wonderful month, full of family and gratitude and celebrations. 

Okay, welcome to this week’s Thursday Favorite Things party! I’m so grateful you are here. You are awesome! I enjoyed all the incredible recipes you shared at last week’s party. Here’s a highlight of just a few. Link up and visit your neighbors!

Magical October

 Welcome friends! Happy Thursday. How are you enjoying October? "I'm so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers"-from Anne of Green Gables author, Lucy Maud Montgomery I couldn't agree more.  I'm so enjoying the crisp morning air. I hope you're all enjoying the beginnings of Autumn as well. 

Quickly, Theresa, get on with the party! Okay, here we go. Link up, enjoy, visit, inspire or get inspired! 

Just Look at Emily from Le Cultivateur's Magical Fall Evening Table Isn't it just dreamy?! 

The Fall Countdown Continues with These Beautiful Ideas

Good morning and welcome back. Less than two weeks, and I am counting!! As a matter of fact, I am so excited I had to get these sweet slipcovers to help me ready my house for September 22nd, AKA Fall/Autumn, AKA my favorite time of the year. If you are anywhere near my neck of the woods you'd know we just made it through several days of 100+ degree weather, so, no, it cannot come soon enough! 

Meanwhile, if you're an Amazon affiliate, these would be an awesome choice! There were four in total and I love them! 

Moving on, welcome to this week's TFT party! Thank you for joining me. I hope this finds you all safe and well and comfortable where you are. Let's look at some of the wonderful things you shared last week!

Happy September!

Happy September! Welcome back.  Praying for rain in California and praying for a cease in Ida's path.  I hope you all are safe and well where you are. I'm hoping September turns out to be our month, friends! The turn around time of sorts.  Meanwhile, I am always Amazed at all the beauty you all share every week! Take a look at a few that called to me from last week's party. Blessings, friends.

This and That On A Chilly Fall Day

 Hello dear friends! Happy Thursday and welcome! I'm so happy you are here. I truly hope you are all having a wonderful week, staying safe and healthy, and finding peace at your home as we prepare for what is still "the Most Wonderful Time of the Year"! I welcome you to this, Thursday Favorite Things party, today, and invite you to join and share with Linda & I at our Christmas Series, that started this week, "Christmas Do It Yourself Ideas" link up! So much fun to be had!

Let's see what you were up to last week!

Look how sweet Marie from Interior Frugalista's Memory Garment Hand Warmers. I just love these. Do you make hand warmers? Such a welcome treat in the chill of winter.

Welcoming to October! Let's Eat! ( TFT Party!)

Good morning and happy October, friends! Can you believe that? Already October now. I’m so grateful for the Fall months. They truly are my favorite time of the year. I am, however, desperately looking forward to the season’s cooler weather. Living in Northern California has been quite a roller coaster the last few weeks. 

(My Hubbard Home's Autumn Apple Crisp with Walnuts has my mouth-watering.)

Happy Fall Y'all! (This Week's TFT Party)

I'm SO excited I just realized that by the next time we party together Autumn/Fall will have officially arrived!! Five more days as I write this! Can you just hear me squealing with delight? I believe if the forecast holds true 😏 that our high for the day will be in the mid 70s. In California, that's wonderful. Even though I long for the crisp air... I'll take 70's! And, you all are right on cue with my favorite season! Thanks for that! 

Let's get onto some of your wonderful shares, and my features for this week, from last week's party.  

Christine from Designs and Events' Making a Wreath from Roadside Plants is the sweetest and daintiest Fall wreath I've ever seen and I just LOVE it and from Roadside Plants?!   Not my roadside, you are a lucky lady Christine.

Fall Countdown Continues!

 Hello sweet friends, how are you all doing in your neck of the woods, so to speak? I'm so grateful that you have come over to join me.  Today was the first day in over a week, maybe longer, I really can't remember, that we were not sweating in the 100's and beyond! Thank God! I am so looking forward to all things Autumn/Fall! Crisp air, sweaters, a good rain, a fireplace for warm. I can't wait! 

A Little Peek At This Christmas' Future DIY's! (and, this week's TFT party!)

I think this is a super fun time of year to start planning your Christmas Home! Especially with Hallmark's Countdown to Christmas (yes, I am an addict!) providing tons of Inspiration. Not to mention, that I am doing the Christmas decorations for my church, which are going to be off the charts gorgeous! Still SO DIY! What's not to love?! I wish I was as far ahead of many of last week's bloggers, who provided even more inspiration with their, already done posts of all things wonderfully beautiful and DIY for Christmas. Hae a look!
Love CoCo from The Crowned Goat's  Christmas on the Front Porch. Missing my old front porch! Definitely, a "must-have" next place I live!

Fall Favorites (TFT Party)

Good morning, my friends. I'm going to have to keep it short and sweet today, I'm not sure if my power will stay on very long. I want to thank all of you, who left comments of support and added your prayers to mine last week, as we, here in Northern California navigated life with nearby fires and rolling power outages. I'm sorry I haven't had the time to respond to all your kind comments, but I did get to read them and am very grateful.

Yesterday evening, finally, brought some very welcome news...
. 🍂🍁🧡💛🧡🍁🍂
"The wind event proved to be much less than they thought. Our amazing firefighters kept the fire at bay and the increase was minimal. We are at 76,825 acres and 45% containment which is AMAZING!! 
Forever grateful for all your prayers and the hard work done to keep us safe and the damage minimal!"

With sincerest Gratitude, I'm sharing some faves from last week, sorry my part is not more complete this week, next week will be better! 
Happy Halloween!

All Things Autumn & This Week's Thursday Favorite Thing Party

Good morning, friends. Well, it's finally happened...Autumn has arrived. Yes, even here in Northern California and I couldn't be happier. Even with all the fire scares, the power shutoffs, stocking the house for emergencies, I am abundantly grateful for cool, crisp air, fog that brings back that wonderful morning mist and humidity levels that so help all our firefighters... Grateful.  Happy to be baking, cooking soups and stews and all the wonderful things that come with this glorious Season. I've even needed my coat a couple of times. Simply blissful.
