Last night a friend had an outdoor celebration in

Last night a friend had an outdoor celebration in her yard for her 50th and it was the happiest night in the prettiest setting.. It reminded me of this photo I had saved for a while -fall entertaining perfection. I want a bench seat in the yard I can load with Bohemian looking pillows, a mix of chairs found and a tall candelabra to lend a old world feel. Can you just imagine the fun evenings in such a setting? Blankets would be needed too. Since all season outdoor entertaining will be with us for a while, it’s fun to think of the possibilities!

If someone knows the source of this photo, I’d love to share it. I’ve long ago lost it.

Happy weekend!

Happy Friday! I don’t know if you had a chance to read this week’s post on leather looks, ( a fun post - still linked in my bio), but a few asked about two of the tops. This denim @joie top and the @ullajohnson floral were found at my favorite consignment shop. One was new with tags. Have you tried shopping consignment? If you haven’t you’re missing out on beautiful quality things for the cost of a mass made top from a place like Target or H&M. For example the Joie top was originally $178 and I bought it with tags for $40. The Ulla Johnson is a $478 top I got for $70. These kind of pieces are collectibles that will give your wardrobe quality and style and last years rather than months. Go out of your comfort zone and hit some of these spots and find the shop you love. It’s so much better for the planet and your closet too. Resist the mass produced when you can. Quality is always worth it. I’ll share a few more pics on stories!

Do you shop second hand? Any tips and if not why? Bring a friend if you’ve never been and have fun with it. Sometimes you have to go multiple times before you find a treasure. It helps to go frequently to the good shops.
Have a great weekend friends!

Here’s where I hung my latest acquisition- ( that sounds cool 😀) ‘paper whites’ by @heidimichelle.artstudio . 💙This small wall is between the kitchen and the den area and though I had meant to put the painting in another space, it just kind of fit perfectly here. I know you’re not supposed to buy art that matches with your home, but I was happy to see the blues, whites, stripes and black border kind of pick up the theme in here! Plus flowers always make me happy. It’s almost paper white season too..

More on Heidi and her event is on my story and at her account if you want to catch her final weekend of Open Studios !🎨🖌🖼

I had the most fun today visiting my talented friend Heidi’s Open Studio show at her pretty house. Heidi creates all kinds of different art, and her amazing house has decks full of her works. I bought a couple pieces for my house and I’m thrilled. I will say it was hard to choose! Max and I had a fun lunch after in Felton. Go to my stories for more details. You can still go to Heidi‘s show next weekend if you missed it this weekend. See the details on her @heidimichelle.artstudio account!

When it turned cold on Thursday I went searching for a good soup and found what I think is my new favorite minestrone soup recipe. We loved this so much and had grilled cheddar and apple baguette sandwiches with it. The recipe is from a great blog/Instagram called @cookieandkate -So many great veggie based recipes and unique takes on old favorites. I can’t wait to try more of her recipes. Are you ready for more comfort food ? I better add in more steps to my daily count too! Hope you all have a cozy weekend and check out my story for a link to this delicious soup.

A snap of our front patio that I cozied up with a throw, plant, a candle and a little pumpkin for the ‘Cozy Home’ collaboration yesterday. If you missed it, it was a lot of fun and everyone had such good ideas to make the house feel snug and welcoming.. Link at my bio @northerncalstyle .

What’s your weekend plan? I just saw we got snow at the tiny cabin last night! It’s chilly here too and I tried a new Minestrone recipe last night that we loved. I’ll share it later. I’m wearing a sweater today. 😀. So excited.
Happy weekend 🍁

This little blue jar I ordered from @williamssonom

This little blue jar I ordered from @williamssonomahome is bringing me a bit of joy every day. I have most of my blue jars in the main bath and cut a few lavender sprigs from the yard to pop on the tray here too. Sometimes it’s small details like this very old clock and my grandma’s silver tray in this space, that make it feel pretty and personal! It takes time though to figure out what works where though doesn’t it? 💙

Have a great day. We are finally cooling down and had real weather last night! I love that and am so happy for fall.

If you missed it, I did a Friday Finds post yesterday with some of my recent discoveries including these fun beads and a great hand soap made in California -both from Amazon.

I hope you all are enjoying this beautiful fall weekend. I have a little list for my husband today and it includes hanging some curtains and some yard work.. so wish me luck!

Filled my little wooden trough from @crateandbarrel with apples, gourds and small pumpkins 🎃. It’s a start and tomorrow is October, so I guess I can commence the pumpkin love! Bring on the plaids, cozy sweaters, soups, the fire and afternoons with mugs of tea! I love fall. 🍂In the meantime a heat wave is hitting us this weekend ! 🥵 Let’s hope it’s the last. I’m ready for socks. Do you agree?
