As good as it gets…

Yesterday I shared about my excitement about a book signing I was attending.  It turned out to be a really fun day. Of course… Not quite how I planned.  Such is life. The morning began with a call from my sweet friend mentioning that she ran into a “little” traffic, and perhaps might arrive at my home later than we planned. “No worries” I said. I was just too excited about the day. After all I had baked those wonderful gluten-free cookies, and crafted what I thought was the most adorable gift to give to the author.

I’m Excited!

I baked these cookies last night… to take on a little road trip today… Any guesses Where I’m off to? Ok…I will tell you. My friend and I are attending the author Susan Branch’s book signing in Pasadena! This sweet little picture of musical notes,  is on the inside cover. ….( Oh. …. Did I mention we were able to get FIRST edition copies!) This is a picture of the book she wrote, and a little handmade gift.

The Gift of Time. ..

I’m so happy you stopped by for a visit… The morning has been chilly. I have a little fire going,  and the teapot on. I hope you had a lovely weekend.  Did you remember to turn the clocks back an hour? Sometimes I forget how precious time really is. Perhaps this is why I enjoy Fall. I think I become just a little more reflective of my own time,  and grateful for the gift of it today. Thank you for taking the time to visit.

A Magical Morning…

Good morning… My husband Joe will be returning from his Sunday run soon.  I thought this would be a wonderful time to write a little “something” ♡ The morning is cool, and just a tad bit overcast. Our house seems almost magical as the sun is rising, and peeping through the trees on our street. A little Window to “peek” out into the world from. …… Have a wonderful Sunday. … Xoxo,

Simple Pleasures

What are you doing this weekend? I have been puttering around our home… I really love this little vignette. I found the shelf at one of my favorite thrift shops. These lace curtains fit perfectly in my kitchen. Can you see the little roosters? Joe and I are getting together with friends later, and I’m going to make a spinach dip to take. I thought it would look festive in this pumpkin. Well, I hope you are having a perfect Saturday. Xoxo, Marcia
