Have you tried persimmon bread? It’s absolutely

Have you tried persimmon bread? It’s absolutely delicious and the perfect winter treat to share or just enjoy with a cup of tea in the afternoon! This recipe uses fuyu persimmons, unlike most others, which are right now all over California in people’s yards and trees, and in the stores. Recipe is on this weekend blog if you missed it! Give it a try.

Also on the weekends blog- gift ideas for her, and more! Link in bio. @northerncalstyle

Tomorrow I am joining a holiday home tour.. and I’ll link to some of the cute ideas from others later today in stories! ✨

Our traditional Black Friday beach walk in Aptos yesterday! We got so lucky with amazing weather and even spotted some whales or dolphins cruising by. This is my favorite part of Thanksgiving weekend. Hope you’re all having a relaxing holiday.

I’ve got Thanksgiving on the brain, so on this Weekend’s Meanderings, some side dishes like fennel persimmon salad, and Brussels sprouts with cannellini beans from @mollyinmaine for your feast, a few of my past Thanksgiving tablescapes, and Bloomingdales dresses to consider for the day- and other holiday festivities. Sherpa pillows I added to my counter stools, and a bit about our birthday celebration for Juliet up at San Francisco’s pretty Palace Hotel are on the blog too.

Are you working on your feast or thinking about Christmas? Hope you are having a lovely weekend whatever it is!

Read the post and see what Elizabeth and Juliet are sharing on their weekend blogs..

Cozying up the kitchen with these Sherpa pillows.

Cozying up the kitchen with these Sherpa pillows. This is the good thing about cleaning out the pillow closet- I found these I had forgotten about from last year. I bought them at Target and replaced them with good inserts. I wish they still had them, but I will try to find something similar and link to it later in my stories. Just this little addition made it feel a bit more holiday like and warm in here! Don’t you love our street trees that look like they are on fire? My Balboa counter stools are on sale now! I will share a link on my story as well as here.

Happy Thursday! We are almost to the weekend. I can’t wait my college son is home Tuesday. 🤍

Just had to share a few photos of November leaves

Just had to share a few photos of November leaves in Northern California from our walks. We do get a change of seasons here in California,but someone said the other day that we wait so long for it, we aren’t ready to end fall and start Christmas. That is so true! 🍁

I am enjoying the views out the front windows too. Our street trees are Chinese Pistache and they are literally on fire in gorgeous pink fluorescent leaves! Hope you all are having a beautiful week and getting to enjoy November!

Today on the blog -two potential Thanksgiving day

Today on the blog -two potential Thanksgiving day looks with a California vibe. One definitely more casual than the other, and both outfits wearable for fall and winter date nights, parties and more. I would definitely wear the sweater dress and clogs to Thanksgiving ... I also adore the longer dress!

It’s the Weekend Meandering time with Juliet and Elizabeth ! Pop on over to the blog where I’ve got my favorite new moisturizer, a Pennsylvania mom and her beautiful historic farmhouse, and a Seacliff Beach home for sale!

Sorry no holiday decor... I’m still Novembering

Sorry no holiday decor... I’m still Novembering here. Enjoying this season of beautiful leaves and fire colored foliage out my windows. I’m savoring this month and I won’t be rushed or be made to feel like I’m not on it because I am not thinking about Christmas or decorations or gift lists. For those who want that, good for them, but it’s not for me. I’m okay waiting and at this age, enjoying right where I am, which is savoring long walks, making soups, afternoon tea with a book and cozy nights by the fire. Life already seems hurried. I am trying to learn to live at my pace and enjoy slower living. We still have six weeks until Christmas!
As my mom used to tell us, it’s the little things, so find those each day and stop and ponder at the pretty leaves, the puffy clouds and the beauty of now!
Enjoy the weekend friends. 🍁

Oh, this month’s Signature Style, does your home

Oh, this month’s Signature Style, does your home reflect your personal style? How similar are your wardrobe and your house? I love jeans and white shirts, neutrals, luxe fabrics and black..

In my home it’s very similar, but it’s white couches, woods, bits of black, and lots of texture with a bit of blue.. How often have you considered the connection to your closet and your home? Knowing your own style can really help you make better choices for your house and your wardrobe !

Please stop on by the blog and see what I’m sharing. I had fun with this post finding wardrobe and home photos that are quite similar.
And please visit my style sisters Cindy and Sarah’s blogs…

Trader Joe’s, pumpkin bread is the perfect base

Trader Joe’s, pumpkin bread is the perfect base for autumn treats and dessert hacks. We love to add Guittard dark semi-sweet chocolate chips or their Super Cookie Chips. We always add loads of walnuts and sometimes coconut flakes, sliced almonds, pumpkin seeds and marshmallows. It works with anything you love! 🧡 This is one of the few box mixes I actually really like to use. I find it to be lighter and less sweet than making pumpkin bread from scratch.
Get a few boxes while you can find them. Is anyone else loving this mix? I feel like this is one of the best things Trader Joe’s ever did.

Hope you’re having a fun night ! I am off now to find my witches hat and answer the door for my little trick-or-treaters. 🎃
Enjoy!
