Well, hello beautiful autumn days! And a happy hello to Friday which means that it is This & That day on the blog! And it is a full one full of what TSLL loves to snuggle up with on days like this 📚❤️📚 (after taking a walk through the leaves of course 🙃🍁). Have a look at what you will discover in this week's edition of This & That ⤵️

OODLES of books this week as we step into cozying-in season. The latest novel from a beloved British author, a memoir from a beloved Dame, a new garden book from an inspiring Dutch gardener, books about the food world, how food heals us, inspiring poetry to unite us, sweets and treats from the GBBO team, and then we have quite a few premieres of TV series returning – comedies, thrillers, and dramas. November will definitely keep us entertained, and then there are timeless clothing finds, and many on great discounts. And yep, still, there is much more!

And one is the autumnal beauty, seen here, on the many walks this season. Also, a peek at finishing touches in the hallway projects, plus many more everyday moments that were appreciated and savored. May you too have experienced many such moments in your own everydays this month. 😌🍁

The October garden post, Gardening in October at Le Papillon, is now up on the blog. And it is full of oodles of tasks and contemplations, finds (books, tools and more), as well as photos capturing autumn's beauty at @lepapillongarden .

Real Luxury. Often the term luxury gets confused to mean anything of great expense, but the definition of luxury has to do with what is explored in my second book - Living the Simply Luxurious Life, exemplified in my third - The Road to Le Papillon and shown how to experience for ourselves in my latest book - Savoring the Sojourn. Ultimately, luxury is something that takes effort, intention and investment of either our time and/or money that wasn't easy nor haphazard. And upon reaching the desired outcome, the journey has deepened our sense of appreciation so that we won't thoughtlessly take for granted what we have or how we have grown. So I guess, yes, luxury is of great expense, but the expense is far more profound and significant than just an exchange of money and it isn't a choice made to impress the outside world, but to step more fully into our own peace and fulfillment.

In a new post on the blog, the Monday Motivational post, it explores ➡️ How Real Luxury Arrives in Our Lives. Here is an excerpt and you can read the full post on the blog, TSLL.co
