Good Monday morning to you friends. It is raining this morning and the pitter patter of the drops hitting the skylight are music to my ears. It has been so hot here the last few weeks that I haven’t had the energy to do anything or wait, maybe it is the kitchen renovation that was draining my energy. Cooler weather is a welcome treat even if it only lasts a few hours.

The kitchen renovation is nearing completion and I could not be more excited. The backsplash is installed in both the kitchen and the laundry and will be grouted today. The last of the cabinets were installed last week along with the counters. All that is left is painting, electric and a few odds and ends.

Friday the washer and dryer arrived unexpectedly(with 10 minutes notice) and 6 days early. Both are unaffected by their adventures from Canada, to Nashville, to Raleigh and then here. By the end of the week the dishwasher and cooktop will be here too.

The rest of the weekend was spent on long walks, dinner with friends, reading and doing a few chores inside and out. All and all a quiet but productive weekend.

I have a busy week ahead, what about you? How was your weekend? What fun things did you get up to?

Now, onto 5 things!

5 Things

1. Watched

Watched The Electrical Life of Louis Wain, loved Benedict Cumberbatch and Clare Foy.

2. Read

Monday Musings Harvest of Secrets book cover

I finished  this book (one of  First Reads this month on Amazon Prime) on Friday evening.

And read this book, a light easy “beach read” Saturday and Sunday.

3. Fall Finds From Boden

Boden has early Fall finds and lots of sale items just in case you want to add something to your wardrobe.

4. Links From the Weekend

Diane Keaton on Pulling a Freaky Friday in Mack & Rita, Being a Style Icon, and Loving Instagram

5 Brilliant Tips for Removing Grease Stains from Clothing, According to Professional Dry Cleaners

The Most Stylish Houseplants of 2022, According to Instagram

The 50 Best Small Towns for Antiques

Why the Shape of Your Ice Matters in Your Drink.

Looking for some cute Fall dresses? I like this one  and this one and this plaid one!

Love the look of an Hermes Kelly bag but not the price tag? This bag is a great alternative.

Fall lovers, I found the best mug to add to your collection, perfect for morning chocolate, coffee or tea!

Have you ever purchased faux Fall leaves for your arrangements?

This throw is perfect for cosy season.

5. Weekend Meanderings 

Just in case you missed weekend meanderings I shared Bee’s, Zarafa the First Giraffe in France, Fall fashion and More…Weekend Meanderings

That’s all for now

I hope that you had a lovely weekend and that you found something on Monday Musings that piqued your interest.

Take care and thank you for spending part of your day with me. You can also see what I am up to on Instagram and Facebook.  Or subscribe to the blog so that you do not miss a thing!
