So much warmth and texture going on in this bathroom. After having to take a cold shower yesterday morning (who knew my whole building takes a shower at 8:30 am?), this would be lovely!

My plaid scarf arrived and I already love it! (I chose Option 3.)

I'm going to Thanksgiving dinner at a friend of a friend's and plan to bring some green beans and maybe these hot cocoa cookies.

Pretty DIY fall/winter twig votives.

I recently added two of these H+M candlesticks to my bookshelves (1/2 off sale!). Speaking of bookshelves, did you catch my book wishlist?

This Thanksgiving I am thankful for…

…my family who is always loving, supportive, and available, even though they’re far away.

…my friends both near and far who are my moral compass, my family away from home, my confidants, my cheerleaders, my brothers and sisters.

…not one but two jobs that allow me to live a comfortable, full life.

…a beautiful apartment with a truly awesome roommate.

…all of my lovely blog followers who inspire me to keep going.

…the ability to appreciate my blessings, no matter how small.

How beautiful is this Thanksgiving table from Waiting on Martha?

I am SO excited for this weekend. I have both days off and it’s supposed to be in the 50’s (not too bad for mid-November). I get to see some cousins tonight for a drink and have a staycation all weekend with a special someone. Can’t. Freaking. Wait.

I hope everyone has a nice weekend!!
