Links for Your Weekend

Happy Friday! It’s been…checks calendar…six weeks(!) since I’ve done a weekend links post. I didn’t intend to take a blog break but I was feeling kind of quiet toward the end of the summer so I decided to just go with it instead of forcing anything. BUT. I’m happy to be back and I have a bunch of good stuff saved up to share.

A warm, collected home on NY’s Shelter Island. (The article includes pictures and a video tour in case you enjoy those. I love listening to people talk about where they live.)

The best fall destinations in the US.

Books to read before they’re made into movies and TV shows.

I bought this Cuisinart convection oven/toaster oven/air fryer this summer and we love it. True confession: Our favorite way to use it so far is to heat up leftovers like pizza and onion rings. It makes things so much crisper than a microwave. I love the way it looks too…like a grown-up Easy Bake Oven. Send me your favorite air fryer recipes!

What do you like about where you live? The comments on this one are really fun.

I’m looking for a reason to try this lemon cream pie recipe.

We have been loving this tabletop firepit that was given to us as a gift. It runs on rubbing alcohol and can even be used indoors. We used ours all summer on our covered deck at the lake to roast marshmallows for s’mores.

Eva explains her method for hanging art (and her pictures are lovely).

Have you seen The Wife? Tom and I stumbled on it while surfing Netflix and decided to watch. It was fascinating. Glenn Close was nominated for an Academy Award and won the Golden Globe for this role. The movie is based on the book by the same name.

I hope you have a lovely weekend.

P.S. A fun video home tour and life lately.

P.S. A video tour of an Atlanta bungalow.
