Happy first Friday in November and with its arriva

Happy first Friday in November and with its arrival, so too, as ever with each Friday’s hello, a new This & That is up on the blog!

Here is what is waiting for you to explore — What wonderful films this week – some premiering worldwide, others just beginning with premieres in the UK, and all highly praised. Of course, we also have oodles of books – a favorite Queen-led cozy mystery series returns, peeks into famous diaries for daily inspiration, a much-applauded new historical fiction novel set in wartime Britain, which also involves Paris (as it’s in the title, after all), and timeless clothing finds at great prices. Still, there is more!

Join me (and Nelle 🐾) and fellow TOP Tier Membe

Join me (and Nelle 🐾) and fellow TOP Tier Members for our monthly A Cuppa Moments on the blog! 🫖

Since October 2020, this monthly ritual gets posted on the first of each month. We sit, we chat (video and in the comments' section), we sip and we savor while we relax for about 45 minutes - give or take. ☺️

Connect with kindred spirits each living their unique simply luxurious life, find support, encouragement, celebration and inspiration to trust your journey.

Along with sharing our regular monthly books, savorings, walks with pups, shows and films, we always conclude with a question or thought to ponder that kicks off our conversation. Centered around the theme of contentment and living well, sometimes it's quite contemplative, and other months it is light and playful. Always the norms are adhered to that whatever anyone shares, it has to be true, helpful and kind. This is an inviting space, and you're welcome to join us. 😌
