The Weekend . . .

The weekend has arrived and a chill has set in, but oh, how I’m enjoying wearing sweaters, boots and so soft scarves. Aren’t you? Last week, my attempt to pick up pumpkins was delayed, but this weekend is the grand opening of my favorite destination, so I am patiently waiting to see the treasures that will be available.

This week on the blog readers made Monday’s inspirational post their favorite which prompted this week’s discussion question on Facebook. With simple ways to streamline our busy lives, it is the ability to let go of necessary tasks that frees us up for wonderful unexpected moments. Click here to join the conversation.

~On a fashion note, if you’ve had your eye on Equipment cashmere sweaters (seen in this week’s weekly finds) or anything they design, do be sure to stop by their online shop as you can save 20% off with the promo code EQFRIENDS (click here to begin shopping). Also, Joie is offering 20% off as well with promo code JOIEFRIENDS, and it is their silk blouses that always catch my eye. Both sales end October 7th. This sweater, this blouse and this oversized item caught my attention.

Have a lovely weekend, and until Monday, bonjour.
