Thanks for stopping by :-)
The Happy Everything cross stitch is too cute. Hope the weekend is a good one.
ReplyDeleteWe've definitely felt the arrival of Fall in my area. I'm not a fan of pumpkin spice latte but I like pumpkin pie, bars and muffins. Enjoy your reading and viewing this week!

A drawing by Ros Chast is always a good thing! She captures something so essential in just a bit of sketching. Thanks for that.

I also celebrated the first day of fall with a Pumpkin Spice latte!
ReplyDeleteMy mom gave me the Valerie Perrin book (though in French) this summer after she enjoyed it, but I have yet to read it. I hope you enjoy it too. Happy reading!
Fall has definitely arrived in MA. Suddenly, we are in that time period where we can run the heat in the morning and might consider A/C by mid-afternoon. I used to cross-stitch all the time. It has been years, but I hope to enjoy it again one day.
ReplyDeleteThe Make-Up Test and Confidence caught my eye this week. Hope you enjoy your books.

It starting to cool down where I live. I got my fall garden going and I'm looking forward for when my pumpkins are ready to be pick.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week.
As soon as it cools down here (maybe November?) I'll celebrate with a pumpkin spice latte.
ReplyDeleteThe Greengage Summer sounds very interesting. I like the author Rumer Godden.
Happy Everything! That should cover it. lol
I hope you have a good week. That Happy Everything cross stitch piece is just too adorable!! What a find. I hope you enjoy The Make-Up Test, I thought it was cute.
ReplyDeleteOoh it's pumpkin spice latte time of year :)
ReplyDeleteThe Make-Up Test looks good.
ReplyDeleteNice cross stitch and I love the cartoon. Enjoy your pumpkin lattes. We still have hot weather although a little cooler with outer wind bands from Hurricane Ian.
ReplyDeleteHave a good week and Happy Reading!
