Hey friends! Mixed up my days. Yep, I actually thought today was Wednesday. My sincerest apologies. I'll be adding some features while I can get it through my head that it is Thursday! Meanwhile, please link up! Happy Thanksgiving, friends! All up to date now. Sorry for any inconvenience.
Welcome friends! Can you believe Thanksgiving is just two weeks away?! Time goes fast when you're having fun! You all are coming up with some awesome ideas and tastes to inspire and lead us through this year's Thanksgiving and Fall!
Let's see what you were up to!
First, did you see Julie from My Wee Abode's sweet Place Cards for a Simple Elegant Fall Table
I love making placecards when I'm hosting a crowd, don't you?
November is here, friends! I couldn't be more thrilled. I just love this month and it, sadly, always seems to go by too quickly. After all, it is the beginning of the most wonderful time of the year. I am also in love how almost everyone remembers how much we have to be grateful for. How I wish the feeling lasted longer. I’m grateful for you, today. Thank you all SO MUCH for your beautiful comments! I may not always get to respond to all of them, but I AM ALWAYS blessed by reading each and every one of them.
Are you ready to Fall back?! Don't forget to set your clocks back Saturday night before you go to bed. Consider this your friendly reminder. It is this Sunday!
Thank you for joining me, once again, at this week’s Thursday Favorite Things party! I’m so glad you are here.
If you have a chance, pop back by on Saturday, as I will be joining an awesome group of ladies for Katherine’s “Autumn On a Tray” Blog Tour. I think it will be great fun!
Let’s take a look at what you shared at last week’s party!
Judith from Botanic Bleu's Simple French Country Fall Kitchen is absolutely stunning. These are the kitchens of my dreams. Thank you, Judith. You all must go see the rest.
Welcome friends! Happy last week of October. Can you believe it? One of my favorite months is almost gone in what felt like a flash! We got rain! No small statement for California. And, although there were some minor issues with the heavy "Cyclonic Bomb" or "Atmospheric River" of rain, most everyone I know is just as thrilled and hopeful as I that we are getting some relief. Thank you all for your well wishes for us. Here's praying for more, normal and regular rain for the Season and, just possibly, our drought. The rain gave me plenty of time to enjoy baking and decorating. It was a good month. I hope yours was too.
Onwards and upwards to the Thursday Favorite Things party for this beautiful week. Wishing you all a safe and healthy September 1st and Halloween, if you have little ones.
October 21st already, friends, and we HAVE RAIN in Northern California!! Soon all of California with the systems through this weekend! They are saying that these are, OFFICIALLY, ending our very long, large, devastating, and costly fire Season. All I can say and do is Praise the Lord! Thank you to all of you who have prayed along with me for those tragic fires to end. Though this won't take us out of the drought, it's a darn good start in the right direction!
Can you see me? I LOVE to dance in the rain!
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?!
Good morning, friends, and welcome back! I can happily say that today was our first, here in Northern California, real Fall-feeling day! Thank God! It was actually chilly this morning! Yay! And, although there's only a slight chance, there's a chance just the same, for some potential light showers one morning in the forecast. Squealing with excitement. It's not just that I love the rain, (even though I really do!) but the drought conditions and fires here have been so bad that were on rationing again...which I don't mind, but what a glorious relief it could be for our poor, overworked firefighters, not to mention our farmers, many who have had to sell off livestock and change their entire lives. So, without going too much further into that, rain in the forecast! Double Yay!
Good morning friends! It's a wonderful time to celebrate a few Whimsical decorations! I had a lot of fun going through all your wonderful offerings from last week's party. So much incredible, beautiful and yummy inspiration, but I thought it was time to celebrate the whimsier side of the decorating process. Here a just a few examples of some fun decor! Thanks for sharing everyone!
Welcome back, friends! If I'm jumping the gun on excitement for the upcoming Seasons, it's wonderful to know I'm not alone! You all are sharing some awesome inspirations for Fall/Autumn... even a few for Christmas! I.. Can't.. Wait! ☺️ But, that's me! I canned this week! 12 jars of Tomato Pepper Jam and 11 jars of Strawberry Rhubard! Definitely my happy place! Let's see what you were doing!
Rachelle from My Hubbard Home's A Beautiful Tablescape for Autumn Entertaining is simply stunning.
Rachelle from My Hubbard Home's Free Herb Summer Printables For Your Home Décor
I'm late! Link up, friends! I'm keeping it to the basics here this morning! My sincerest apologies. Happy August! Thank you for being here & here are your features!

Welcome friends! Next we meet we will be in the first week of August! Inching closer and closer to Fall! Yay! I pray you all are well and weathering the Summer with Joy and peace, health and safety. I actually saw some Fall colors at the store yesterday! I know they're jumping the gun a bit, but still.... Onto your Thursday Favorite Things party and a few wonderfully and inspirational Features.
From the Happy Gardener, Black Currant & Champagne Grapes Pavlova I love Pavlova! Her recipe looks like a real winner!
Welcome friends! Can you believe how absolutely fast this month has gone?! We are already heading into August in just 8 short days! I pray that you are all safe from the fires and the extreme heat. As of this date, we are, here, in my section of Northern California, still safe from the huge fires further up north. Praising God and ever so thankful. Praying for the thousands going through them this year. That has not been the case many previous years. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend and thank you for sharing your beautiful links with me.
This week’s features are…
The Painted Apron’s Summer Peach Pizza with Prosciutto, Burrata & Basil
Good morning friends! Welcome to this week's party. Thank you all for joining me here each week and leaving all your kind comments and wonderful inspirations. I enjoy each and everyone more than I will ever be able to tell you. I pray you are enjoying a safe, and hopefully not too hot, summer season. I was all over the place this week, hence the This and That theme for this week's party.
