My Favorite Time of Year

When we woke up this morning it was beautifully foggy, and I took my regular walk with Isabelle, our yellow Lab. It does this in the fall, thick gorgeous fog turns to bright sunshine by midmorning.

I started the walk wishing the time away because I had a million things to get to back here, but as we reached the top of a hill and I looked down into the valley, all I could see was mist. And I remembered why I love Fall in Northern California so much.

For months after we moved here from Chicago (an unbelievable 11 years ago now), all I wanted to do was go home. But it was Fall weather, hiking and that incredible sense of renewal it all gives me that made me want to stay.

Front Door Decor

The incredible Heather Bullard came up with this idea... And I just love it! Pieces I used: vintage frame, velvet ribbon, millinery, a nest and enamel pin.

BTW, I did not put any nails in the door. Those nifty removable double stick hangers are all you need. And to keep the frame from bouncing up and down on the door every time you open and close it, use double stick foam tape. Hurray for 3M. I've used these products on my door before and they really don't leave a mark.
