It’s raining this weekend here in Northern California which is always a relief when wildfires are a concern. It takes the edge off to have a bit of moisture in the air, and also puts me in the mood to make fall soup and get cozy under a throw blanket.
I don’t have any plans for Halloween this year since the kids are grown up and no one we know is having a party. It gives me more time to focus on Thanksgiving and Christmas since we’re hosting so I’ll be decorating early in November instead of waiting until the end of the month.
Currently I’m working on a new art prints for an expanded holiday collection, they will be released on November 1st, I have several fresh new designs to share!
