Happy Monday. I hope you had an awesome weekend. Ours was wonderful. We are having a cold front coming in on Monday night. I can't believe that it is going to be 34 at night. Yikes, that's cold for central Florida. I know that the cold front it hitting a lot of the U.S. but we were at 84 on Sunday so that's a big difference.
I hope you are staying warm and getting ready for the holiday season. Have a great week ahead.
WELCOME to the second week of the November 2025 "You're the Star" Blog Hop!
In this post -simple fall decorating ideas, a delicious apple pie recipe, a pretty DIY rustic striped tray, an adorable turkey charcuterie board, and a recipe for healthy homemade dog biscuits.
Hello and welcome to Happiness is Homemade!
I’m Susan, the writer and creative behind From the Bay to the Beach, where I share all things modern California coastal living — from décor and DIY to style and seasonal inspiration. I’m so excited to be hosting this month’s party and can’t wait to celebrate the cozy charm of November with all of you!
Each week here at Happiness is Homemade, we feature a roundup of favorite ideas and projects shared at the previous party — everything from delicious recipes to clever crafts and beautiful home décor. It’s always inspiring to see what everyone’s been creating!
So grab a cup of something warm, get comfy, and let’s dive into the heart of the fall season together.
Welcome to the party. Hope your week has been good so far. I don't know about you, but I can't believe that it is November. I am usually gearing up for Christmas but I just can't seem to get there. I don't even want to know how many more days until Christmas.
Are you in the Christmas spirit? Have you started decorating yet?
Have a blessed week!

Welcome to the party. I am so glad you stopped by. Fall is in the air. We are having wonderful fall weather for Florida. How is your weather? Is it fall like or winter like?
Happy Monday! I hope you had a lovely weekend. Ours was very nice. We went to an orchid sales event. I have never seen so many different colors and styles of orchids. I wanted to buy some but had a hard time deciding which one to get. I finally bought a white one with purple centers.
I have several orchids already but they stay outside unless it is really cold. This one needs to be pampered a little more. We will see how that goes.
Have a great week!
