Good Thursday morning lovely readers! Today my fair readers you are in for a fabulous treat. Sit back and allow lovely Michele of Hello Lovely to take you away on her special and picture perfect fall day. We all know and love this special rocker mama who amongst many other talents, sings, paints, decorates, cooks and writes like nobody's business. Did I mention she is the lead singer in her very own garage band!
I have concluded there's nothing this pretty lady cannot do! And to boot she is one heck of a nice person, who always has something kind and witty to say. I am a big fan and I think you will be too after reading all about her perfect day. Enough of me, Michele.....take it away!

One word that comes to mind when I think of fall……natural beauty
One of the most wonderful things about fall is.......the gift of not having to repeat 7th grade, APPLES, and the changing colors we enjoy in the midwest
My favorite fall color is....all
On a perfect fall day, I would wake up at......first light
The ideal fall weather could be described this way.........low wind and perfect for a hoodie and love
This is a fall outfit you might see me in…………black and comfy
A favorite product (beauty or otherwise) I like to use as the weather gets nippier…………Clarin's After Sun Self Tanning Moisturizer (for a little golden color)
For a fall breakfast I would indulge in………french toast, fresh fruit, vanilla yogurt, and hot chocolate.
Around 3pm you might find me…………making my gooey sourdough cinnamon bread with friends in the kitchen who laugh easily and accept me for the hormonal vixen i am
An afternoon "pick me up" snack might just be........dark chocolate.
For dinner you might find this cooking on the stove........pesto lasagne, bruschetta, and roasted vegetables for a dinner party
The perfect way to end a perfect fall day would be………………..a rustic Italian dinner party with good cheeses, amaretto sours, and triple chocolate tiramisu followed by a candlelit concert from my band, with booty shakin and laughing into the wee hours.
If I had an Identical twin, I think I would pick Michelle. Wow, my post would be almost identical.
ReplyDeleteJust gorgeous.

ReplyDeleteI like the sounds of Michelle, she sounds like a lot of fun and like she has young heart. She is a beautiful lady too! I especially loved how she spoke of her kids playing the guitar as a sound she would love to hear when she wakes up, that says a lot about the kind of person she is.

Loved this interview with one of my favorite blogging friends! I laughed, as I usually do, at her beautiful writing - esp. the comment about the hormonal vixen! :) Love your new blog header too Tina - how perfect for Fall! It makes me want to change mine too although with all of the school stuff I am doing I am barely keeping my head above water these days!
ReplyDeleteOh what a perfect Fall day! I love it! And I love Micheles blog.
ReplyDeleteHOpe you are having a wonderful fall day! Or perhaps taking a drive down that beautiful road featured in your header.
Let me know what you think of The WAy...
I can so relate to so much of what she said, we are like soul mates. We have a very muscial family so theres always someone strumming along or singing, its a lively household and I wouldnt' want it any other way. We also have a revolving door, always friends and family stopping in and its the house everyone wants to hang at out. Again I cannot imagine any other way, Michele sounds the same and I love all of her ideas, she is very cool. Thanks Tina for featuring such a fun guest!
ReplyDeleteYumm a rustic Italian dinner sounds so delicious! Happy Fall!
ReplyDeleteWhat a day! I need this day for myself. I would love to experience even a few hours of a day like this. From morning to night, she got it down pat!
ReplyDeleteGreat fun here.
Sounds lovely.
ReplyDelete- The Tablescaper

amazing new things to your collection for your
store front, Tina!
