Welcome to “Come Sit By Me”! It’s our chance to catch up on the little things I’d share with you this week if we could chat on the porch over coffee (or wine depending on the time of day).
Life Lately in a Nutshell.
- First, thank you so much for your supportive comments after my personal overshare of the what’s happened over the last year. I really feel the love. 💗

- Did you buy any good stuff over Black Friday/Cyber Monday? I’m finally going to fill this hole in the ceiling above my kitchen table after I took advantage of the Black Friday sale at Ballard Designs. I hope I like this chandelier, having only seen it on the website.😬 It seems harder to choose lighting when it’s all close together because I worry they won’t relate! I”ll show you after it gets hung next week to see what you think, but here’s the pic from the site:

- The one upside of it getting dark so early right now is seeing all the beautiful Christmas lights. It makes running errands after dark a joy!
- I think I’ve watched a holiday rom-com almost every night for the past week. Some much better than others, but all keep me in the Christmas spirit. With all the hype around “The Merry Gentlemen” on Netflix, I thought it was a corny Hallmark movie with hunky muscle-y male dancers thrown in.😂
Words to Get Through the Week.

Pretty Pictures, Yummy Recipes, and Things I Just Want to Spend Money On.
I might be inclined to enjoy washing dishes more with these festive kitchen decorations. Maybe.

These Mudpie Crochet Pot Holders are so sweet. They truly look like a vintage craft.

This baked cream cheese cranberry dip looks like a really fun flavor combination. Have you had something similar before?

Update your bathroom just in time for holiday guests with these upscale gorgeous silver bath accessories. And they’re on sale!
