In this month's Ponderings ... post, thoughts abou

In this month's Ponderings ... post, thoughts about sizing on a particular go-to timeless top, a new medical series, a book that was chosen as book of the year for 2024 in the UK, celebrating (and embracing) our differences, and much more.

This regular post, exclusively for TOP Tier members, began back in 2019 and is best described as a more intimate This & That post. All ideas are sincerely explored, recommended or have been experienced by me. And as it is a pondering, it comes from a place of curiosity and invitation to converse about fellow readers' experiences and recommendations as well.

Wishing you a wonderful weekend. ☺️💛🌷@lepapillongarden #tsllgarden #nofilter

With Friday's arrival, a new This & That post is u

With Friday's arrival, a new This & That post is up on TSLL blog! Stop by today and discover all the finds, premieres, releases and sales to explore as you savor the weekend ➡️ Two wonderful new films completely different in their subject matter. Books, as always, being released in a wide variety of genres that are worth exploring – historical fiction, mystery, an international novel that is receiving wide-spread acclaim, psychology, and décor. Home and clothing finds, many on wonderfully steep discounts, a new travel series to take you across and around Europe and Britain and still, there is more!

Behind the scenes progress is being made on #tsll4

Behind the scenes progress is being made on #tsll4thbook , and today another Zoom chat with @sarahloeckerart - the talented illustrator who brought the images for the previous "The Road to Le Papillon" #tsll3rdbook to life. Today we solidified the interior images and the cover. Oh goodness! ☺️ Beyond tickled with what you will see when the book is released!

I cannot wait to bring them to you and let you explore and enjoy them as they align with the theme of the book in overt and covert ways that upon close reading will delight you (I hope ☺️).

Stay tuned for more updates as we roll along. And while still a ways to go, 2026 is just around the corner 📖❤️🫖

First farmer's market of the year, and Nelle immediately chose her favorite find. The quignon! Maybe she is more of a Francophile than I realized ☺️🇫🇷❤️🥖
