The Weekend . . .

Yes, officially fall is here. Can you believe it? With the 90 degree weather we are having in the Pacific Northwest it is hard to imagine, however, with the crisp mornings that wake me each morning, I can’t help but realize this truth.

While summer was an absolute treat and a laid background to fabulous and unforgettable memories, I am always looking forward to fall. Time to pull out the trench coat, swing by the farmer’s market to pick up fresh apples and pears for a scrumptious warm dessert and look forward to the first fire in the fireplace.

I must gush now, so please forgive me, but I can’t help but feel gratitude for you, my readers. While I know with fall comes ever demanding schedules, your loyalty and spreading the word of this blog to friends and family is something that truly amazes me and reminds me how blessed I am to be able to talk with you every day of the work week.  Thank you again for stopping by and I genuinely hope you are able to find something that helps create the simply luxurious life you desire.

This past week seemed to take off quite suddenly, and before I knew it, I found myself at Friday and wondering where the time went. Thankfully, the busyness was positive and rewarding, so if you have emailed me recently, rest assured I will be tackling my inbox this weekend.  Just in case you too have found yourself terribly busy, here is a look back on the past week here on The Simply Luxurious Life:
