Welcome to Friday Favorites, a weekly series where I share interesting articles, books, fashion finds, recipes and more.
Good Friday favorites morning to you my friends. How was your week? It was a beautiful albeit cold week here and for some reason all the crisp cold air has worn me out. That or the fact that it was just a very busy week.
Thankfully, we have no plans until Sunday when we are meeting friends for a picnic and a bocce ball “tournament”. Until then I will be snuggled at home enjoying a little down time. What about you? What are your plans?
I have lots to share today, easy one pan meals, Fall cocktails, an outfit that is both classic and comfortable and of course lots of interesting links and books. Let’s get to it!

Books for Christmas
Secrets of a Devon Wood is a treat for the senses, a hymn to the intricate beauty of the natural world and a quiet call to arms for all of us to acknowledge and preserve it. It is a book that will stay with you long after you finally put it down.
A beautiful book to give yourself or as a gift.

Exquisitely written and beautifully illustrated, The Snowflake tells the separate stories of one snowflake and one little girl—both longing for their own special place in the world—that spin together into a magical ending. The snowflake and Noelle discover that wherever we go, and however we fall, in the end, we all find a way to shine.
