Hello dollies…welcome to this month’s Where Bloggers Live 10.2020 where I’m talking about a ♪♫♩ ‘a few of my favorite things‘ ♪♫♩. Again this month the Where Bloggers Live post snuck up on me. They are always scheduled for the second Friday of each month. Our fearless leader Bettye always sends out lots of reminders. There’s no good excuse. But can I just say my tooth is infected and maybe the pain has gone to my brain.
WHERE BLOGGERS LIVE 10.2020
As you know by now, this fun series is kind of like HGTV’s “Celebrities at Home,” but…with bloggers! And who doesn’t like to peek behind the scenes and see inside people’s homes and lives? For last month’s post, we toured our closets. Since then, I have completed a small purge in mine and bought some skirt and pants hangers to organize those pieces a little better.
I have to say again, it really helps me to have my clothes arranged by article and then by color. Today for the Get Your Pretty On fall challenge, our outfit formula called for green pants. And because my pants are in color order, I went right to my olive pants and grabbed them. Love my velvet hangers.

Have a Look
Thinking of favorite things for me was like thinking of things for which I am grateful. Once I got started, it was hard to stop. They just kept coming!!

Very fun post and list of things you love!
You have a cross wall? OMG, so does my hubby. Well, it was a cross wall, and when we moved it’s now been changed to being incorporated among the many photos in our guest bedroom (which you will see in the future).
Loved reading this Leslie,
XOXO

Hi Leslie – yes we have a LOT to be grateful for haven’t we? I think family is my most favourite thing – starting with my husband, my kids and my grandgirls. I always try to share a picture or two in my end of month round-up post because nothing beats a picture – and I loved all the ones you included in this post – it helps make us feel more connected doesn’t it?
This is so fun! I can see why these all are your favorite things! Love how you did these photos!

Thank you!! This was a fun post that wrote itself.
You have a wonderful extensive list of favorite things. You and I have a lot of the same favorite things, especially family, friends, and patchouli! 🙂
Oh, yay!! I love knowing you wear patchouli, too. I could bathe in it. But I think it is an acquired taste.
