looking forward to turkey, family and time for knitting sweaters.

happy thanksgiving.

the annual early thanksgiving potluck was sunday.

i made this cake.
it was really good.
(oh, and i added in some banana on a whim, yum.)

i figured out what to do with all of our baby persimmons....
see here
(i may have accidentally understood dried fruits as chocolate chips)

from sundance:

scarf, flask, shoes (unfortunately only in boy sizes), necklace

views from home

and another beauty from ms. claire nereim

a few lovely items from erica tanov

plus, an art show

a few nice things from gap

friday evening at the paramount

live wurlitzer, raffle, whiskey sours and north by northwest
(with an old newsreel preview)

found a knob for my scavenged le creuset

bread baking and sewing on a rainy saturdaywindy windy cold and gorgeous sunday at ocean beach

i'm feeling giddy today.
all i want to do is to hang out with my favorite people,
bake them cookies and pies (and maybe a pot of chili)
pick up some knitting and get cozy.
so blissful and content...
and soooo proud.
