Today I am writing from Marin, where the boy and I are spending the next few days with his family. It has been such a pleasure to spend quality time with his three nieces. Babies are so full of wonder and excitement, which is completely infectious. I know James and I will both be sad when Sunday rolls around and we have to head home. In the meantime, here are a few things of late that have made me stop and smile...

Weekend trips to two of my favorite places, Ojai and Marin.

Rediscovering my vintage 1920's gold purse in the attic.
An autumnal bouquet of fuchsia and burgundy blooms.

Persimmons making their way into markets.
Baking popovers {recipe here} to go along side my favorite butternut squash soup {recipe here}.

Happy Weekend! xo
