Last week my husband tried making the Doubletree Chocolate Chip cookie recipe (he did 2 batches, with & without the walnuts because our young nephew is very allergic). Huge hit with the family so now he has to bake them again for Christmas dinner 😆

I'm not a fan of snow, ice, & cold so winter is definitely the time for me to snuggle into coziness. Thick socks, hot mugs of tea, soft blankets, warm hoodies, candles, cozy books & comfy shows, & lots of tasty snacks. I’m here for all of it. What’s in your comfort zone for winter?

Lest we forget
A stone tablet shaped like a book with the poem In Flanders Fields engraved on it. The poem reads On Flanders Fields In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing fly Scarce heard amid the guns below. We are the Dead Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved, and were loved, and now we lie. In Flanders fields. Take up our quarrel with the foe; To you from falling hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields. John McCrae

How was it super sunny autumn-like yesterday and today, our first snowfall of the season is a doozy? Like c’mon! No brief light flurries just for a warm-up? It’s still coming down. This is a photo now from 4pm ☃️

More book merch from my stash! I LOVE this faux scout badge that a very generous acquaintance sent me. Can you guess which popular urban fantasy series set in the UK this Fox Whisperer badge is inspired by? 💙📚
A round embroidered patch depicting the face of a orange and white fox on a green background. Embroidered around the inside of the circle in yellow are the words Fox Whisperer Grade 1. The patch sits on a background of pale blue felt

The flowers aren’t gone just yet here in Toronto even though it’s almost November! We spotted these amazing, vibrant blossoms at the Toronto Botanical Gardens last weekend!

I went to a local bonsai show yesterday & saw dozens of beautiful mini trees. But this one STOLE MY HEART. Isn’t it stunning? Any other fellow #LOTR fans think this is brilliant?

Early Friday morning breakfast outing with husband & FIL. Trying out a new breakfast place that opened up very close to us (they just opened on Wednesday!) Anyone else a fan of Eggs Benedict? 😍

TOWARDS ZERO by #AgathaChristie. Great tension building & manipulative characters move the plot towards the endgame (towards zero) - murder. Also, we get to know Superintendent Battle a little better. Have you read the book or seen the recent TV adaptation? What did you think? #ReadChristie2025
A paperback copy of the book Towards Zero by Agatha Christie sits on a blue linen cloth on a white tabletop. Nearby is an Agatha Christie themed postcard, a tennis ball, a gold lipstick and a light purple crystal pendant on a thin gold chain.

“The circus arrives without warning” 🎪🖤

I picked up #TheNightCircus by @erinmorgenstern.bsky.social at a bookshop years ago on a whim (I liked the cover). It grabbed hold & never let go. (A special hello to my fellow Rêveurs🧣)

The circus opened 139 yrs ago today - may the magic never fade.
Copies of the hardcover of the night circus by Erin Morgenstern that’s on the bookshelf along with a mug with a text. The circus arrives without warning and a black white and red teapot. Three copies of the night Circus by erin Morgenstern with different variations of the cover A black white and red teapot with the night circus theme and the text the truest tales require time and familiarity to become what they are on it
