Is it really possible that this fun in the sun girl is actually looking forward to the rain that is forecasted for Saturday??? It's true, it's true...I am quite smitten with Autumn these days and have planned the perfect weekend around this welcome shift in weather conditions...

 

I plan to stay here for as long as possible tomorrow morning

there will most definitely be some of this {ideally, while still reading the newspaper in bed}

then, I hope to finish my list

next stop: return some books and check out new ones

and finally...cozy up next to the fireplace with my favorite people

If you happen to venture out this weekend, check out these stops along the way...

01 :: a treasure trove of treats

02 :: a recent addition to my wishlist

03 :: great tips for giving your blog a boost

04 :: i love this concept. {I hope they have plans to expand}

Thank you...I truly appreciate all of your visits and comments this week. Enjoy the weekend days ahead!

What are your plans for this lovely first weekend in Autumn?

For us, Fall brings about busy weekends. Saturday soccer games, family gatherings, and classmate birthday parties typically have us dashing from one event to the next. This weekend, however, we have a whole day to ourselves. With picture perfect Fall weather forecasted, I plan to savor every second of it...lingering a little longer at our neighborhood cafe, strolling the farmer's market, and venturing to a favorite used book store with my daughter.

Perhaps, you, too, have some time to dabble in a bit of site seeing:

01 :: I am so excited to join in on this project.

02 :: The waiting is over...Mrs. French's shop is open and utterly delightful.

03 :: This one stuck with me all week. 

         You've discovered the awe inspiring Karey, right?

04 :: Absolutely adorable: Merit badges for adults. { thank you Ez }

05 :: Downloadable designs--brilliant! 

         A couple of my faves: this, this & this.

I'd love to hear about your plans {even if you have none...sometimes those are the best kinds of weekends}.
