Hoping your Thanksgiving was delicious and now Friday arrives! And a new edition of This & That is on the blog! ➡️🧡 Two new holiday films, books for lovers of history and romance, books about relationships and confidence as well as a gardening book that green-thumbs on your list will love. And there are still more subjects to explore in the titles shared this week. Also, a new podcast from a British voice you will no doubt recognize, sales on all sorts of finds for Francophiles, and shopping for clothes, tech, skincare, and more, and to get us started, a holiday song that will prompt you to start tapping your toes and get into the spirit of the season.

Happy Thanksgiving from us here at Le Papillon to

Happy Thanksgiving from us here at Le Papillon to you wherever in our grand amazing world you find yourself. ☺️🦃

Thank you for being part of this very special and supportive community that is TSLL. The kindness and cheer given freely year-round to one another is a gift that wouldn't be possible without each one of you. 🧡

Thank you for being courageous as you follow your curiosity, your heart and your passions to bring love, kindness and honor what brings you to life.

Have a most wonderful day savoring all the little details that make it what it has the potential to be. 😌🍁💛

Ohhh, being able to stand in the bakery and see, smell and watch the magic is a treat! @mill_fire_baking is passionate about what they do, and I finally figured out how to enjoy their bread year-round (outside of our farmers' market season in Bend, Oregon) ➡️ Sign up for their email mailing list! 🤦‍♀️

Pick ups of orders happen two days a week and your order needs to be placed prior to those dates. So simple, and when pick up date and time (a window of just a couple of hours) arrives, stepping into this room is a dream for the senses.

The line was out the door this morning as customers were eager to bring home orders for Thanksgiving, and a big thank you to Tim, Pillar and the team for all that they give us. 🍁🦃💛🥖 Your bread is delicious - full of flavor, attention to details and expertly crafted. True artisanal bread.

The final Wednesday of the month and that means the Smile post on the blog. This month, 10 things are shared that brought a smile to my days, and one is this leaf 🍁 All on its own, it placed itself, and stopped me in my tracks when I spied it. ☺️

Stop by the blog to discover the other everyday moments that brought a moment of appreciation - a peek at one of the illustrations for #tsll4thbook and other reminders of how our days are likely far more sprinkled with gifts than we may have realized.
