Happy Monday! Hope everyone had a lovely weekend and was able to find a little time to relax before the busy-ness of the holidays begins, if it hasn’t already. Between dinners, being out and about and home again for a little re-organizing, the weekend was filled with fun-loving ways and a few stolen moments of repose before the start of a new and happily busy week . . .

{p.s.}
Fun and exciting things planned for this week, including more festive cheer and some lovely gift ideas at some of my favourite places.
