Good Friday morning! Feels like forever since I did one of these. Playing catch up and have a few random odds and ends to share today, a short post for me but I will be back on Sunday with more and? a winner from my poll giveaway.? How has your week gone? Mine has been busy busy. With my bloggers luncheon, a few functions to attend, running? my online shop and getting a lot of orders out the door,? still working on my design job and trying to gain steam on doing a few things around my own house, let’s just say there is no grass growing under my feet!

The fall weather has been incredible and by far my favorite time of year though this year it does feel strange in that my sons schools annual fall fair is this weekend and I just feel like a total bystander though I was asked to stay on to chair what we normally do. So a bunch of us are getting together later this morning for our annual tradition, to make sushi candy! I will be sure to share some pictures because its so darn cute (and tasty). I will also have to be sure to save a few and send them to my son at college:) That is his absolute favorite and he and friends were always our first customers of the day! So here’s what’s happening……

2. SHEARLING ANYTHING.

I love shearling, the coziness, how soft and warm and snugly it is. And though I was? fan of Tory Burch at the start, I am less so now, not a huge fan of all the logo’s everywhere however she is winning me back with both of these boots. Need them….. I love any tall boot that you can wear folded down or not plus I bet they are so comfy!

3. FOUR WONDERFUL POSTS ON MY BLOGGING LUNCHEON

I am still flying high from my wonderful afternoon spent with blogging friends on Tuesday. I had such fun playing host to such a lovely (and talented) group of women. Four of them? put out beautiful posts recapping the day and if you want to see different pictures? and they are gorgeous…..you will want to pay them a visit! Boy with praise like this I may be planning another lunch sooner than later:) Click below, they are each well worth the visit-

4. VOTE FOR HADI!!

If you missed my post on him (nieces husband), I hope you might take a minute out of your day to quickly read the life changing work this brilliant young man? is doing and cast your vote for his ever so important research, the days are ticking and the winner of the $100,000? prize will be announced in just about a month on Nov 20th!? Every vote counts and just think, YOUR vote could play a part in the future of the HIV virus! Click here to find out more and thank you in advance!

5. SKINCARE MAGIC?

So I have a friend whose sister is a famous facialist in Los Angeles, and she emailed me about two products that she said are exceptional. I have been blessed with very good skin but somewhat take advantage of that. I am starting to get better though and taking it more seriously…so am paying more attention to products that matter. I have never tried Retinol but it seems widely agreed that it’s the next best thing to any kind of botox or surgical procedure (both of which I am petrified of but who knows what I will say in 10 years:)

It is dizzying to try and keep up with what is new in the fast changing world of skincare but apparently these two are amongst a crop of “game changers”. So of course I have ordered the first one and probably will the second one too. We are always searching for that “magic solution” right? I will let you know if these turn out to be as fabulous as promised.

Love the tall TB shearling boots! I will visit you at the guest post as well as check out the posts on your luncheon which was just beautiful and so elegantly presented.

Hope you have a nice weekend Tina.

PS Having met you in person you are so pretty have you ever considered putting your picture on your blog? Just to put a face with the name.

Happy, happy weekend, Tina. The one thing that I wish you could offer in your online store is your energy bottled (it would have to come in beautiful, blue and white packaging, of course), I’m so impressed by all that you are able to accomplish! Maybe I need to trade my Nespresso in for Peet’s πŸ™‚ Can’t wait to see the sushi candy…

I agree that the logo-y Tory is too much for me, but I always love her more subtle, sophisticated designs. Can’t get enough of those!

Thanks once again for making me feel so welcome on Tuesday, truly it was like catching up with an old friend! And thanks for linking to all of our posts, try as we might I’m not sure if we did justice to all the care you put into our gathering.

Happy Friday, hope the weekend is lovely! XOXO

On my way to see your guest post Tina. All of the ladies were so thrilled that you had a luncheon that was so …..enchanting!!

xoxo

Hello Tina

It is a beautiful fall day here in England, the kind you would love

I have visited some of the posts of your luncheon guests and it is most endearing to read their warm words, inspired by your so stylish generosity and hospitality. What a magical day it was for you and everyone, in a magical place.
I do hope that you will have a relaxing weekend in a calm and peaceful Enchanted Home ( aka ‘party central’)

Over here I am installing a lovely project, lots of greige and muted tones, Im looking forward to some relaxation too ;))

Hi Tina really enjoyed all the luncheon recaps, what a beautiful event you put on with such elegance and style.

I love all your recommendations and am also a “skincare fanatic”. My mother taught me at an early age and I think her skin at 79 is living proof that if you take care of it young, it will pay off in spades later on.

Have a great weekend.

We must be on the same wavelength today… I just featured that Kate Sommerville product on my newsletter … Can’t wait to try it… πŸ™‚
Have a lovely weekend, Tina… xv

Good morning Tina! AH….I came over briefly off my tablet but now I’m here again. LOVELY share as always my friend, and to see your comment on my page this morning is such a treat. Yes, you see my home on my post today. I have a few little details I want to finish in the great room before I post a fuller view of my house, but truly, the nest Ruben and I have made is a wondrous place for us. I wish I had a fireplace in our great room, but the two I do have (in my studio and in the bedroom) are just lovely, but hard to photograph due to the small scale of the rooms.

Home is definitely where our hearts are, and again, your lovely luncheon with your blog pals is an event I don’t think they will forget!

HUGS and have a super weekend! Anita

Tina,

I hope that you are enjoying a fabulous Fall day.

I LOVED all of the post from the bloggers who attend your luncheon, it looked like a beautiful, and special day.

Have a great weekend!
