Fall Favorites Reading List

October 2, 2026

Hello, Pretty Ladies,

If you’ve been following me for a while, you know I love to read, and I host a bi-monthly book club where I create a tablescape around the Book we read that month. Our Last Book was The People We Meet on Vacation by Emily Henry. Perfect for a summer read. We took a break from the club over the summer, but of course, I continued to read and listen to audiobooks all summer. Here’s what I read and listened to.

Books I’ve Read

Falling for Peach Tree Bluff – By Kristy Woodson Harvey. A continuation of the Peachtree Bluff series. A sweet, heartwarming set of stories about a mom and her three daughters set in a darling southern beachside town. I never want her books to end, and I adore how Kristy has developed each character and takes you on their journeys. She pulls you into their world and sets the scenes so vividly, you can truly see it as a movie set. A perfect Fall read you’ll love and want to visit this sweet town and its characters.

Kristy Harvey Woodson’s Latest book, Falling for Peach Tree, came out September 15th, but I was lucky to get an advance copy, and I read it in one evening (ok, actually I stayed up until after 3 to finish it).

The Most Fun We Ever Had– A Reese’s Book Club pick- A family saga set in the 1970’s and in current time. Characters develop through their past choices and how they live and move forward today. Along with a beautiful love story. A great read.

Books in Cute Series New to Me

The Daisy Chain Flower Shop– by Laurie Gilmore, the 6th Book in the Dream Harbor series. I have loved every book in this heartwarming, sweet little romance book series. I love the characters; the small seaside town is somewhere we would all want to visit. Cute and quick reads, with one to enjoy for each season. Pumpkin Spice Cafe is cute for Fall, and Christmas Tree Farm & The Gingerbread Bakery is perfect for the Holiday season.

The Cinnamon Spiced Inn– by Harper Graham. If you love Laurie Gilmore, then they say you’ll love Harper Graham. This was my first read from her, and I grabbed a pumpkin spiced latte, settling down by the fire with my Lola blanket, and enjoying this Romance. I love it, so I bought the other 4 in the series and pre-ordered her latest out this month. I add her Spiced Coco Cafe to my November December list.

Books in my Stack

I love reading seasonal books, and here are a few in my stack for September and October.

Apple Blossom Dream– Apple Blossom Hope– Apple Blossom Love by Rosie Callahan. A feel-good romance series.

Everyone is Lying to You– Jo Piazza, a tradwife murder mystery bestselling author and creator of the Under Thr Influence podcast.

Candy Apple Kissies– by Amy. Clipston: A bestseller and a lightly spiced romance

Pumpkin Pie Book Nook– by Harper Graham: A Cozy and addictive autumn romance

The Deep South Murder Club (A Smoky Mountain Cozy Mystery)

Brain Damage by Freida McFadden

I go on walks daily and listen to A book on audio or a podcast every day. Which means yes, I often have several books going at the same time. I enjoy listening to a book just as much as I do reading it. Don’t get me wrong, I love music too, but I often have music playing at home while I am working, cleaning, or doing a home project. Here are audiobooks I have listened to recently and what’s in my upcoming stack.

Audiobooks I recently listened to

Dear Caroline by Kristy Harvey Woodson – From the New York Best-Selling Author of the Peach Tree Bluff Series. This heartwarming story of Adoption, how it affects women, and the beautiful storyline was a book I didn’t want to end. (That’s the way I feel about all of Kristy’s books) I will often read her books in one to two days.

The Guest List by Lucy Foley- a Reese’s Book Club recommendation- evokes an Agatha Christie classic: twists, Great character development, and a little spooky/thriller.

Mad Mabel by Sally Hepworth –New York Times bestselling author of The Soulmate and The Good Sister, comes a twist-filled, darkly funny mystery about the two kinds of people no one ever expects to be murderers: little girls and old ladies. I enjoyed the surprising twists and the carefully written details that helped you visualize where this was taking place.

Audiobooks in my Stack

The Calamity Club by Kathryn Stockett. From the writer of The Help, this is yet another New York bestseller, and I can’t wait to listen to this heartwarming story about women.

Theo Of Golden by Allen Levi. This is a New York bestseller, and they say it’s a “To Kill a Mockingbird of its time.” Katie Couric listed it on her book club pick.

Coffee table Books and Cookbooks New to my Collection

I adore coffee table books- collecting them, browsing through them, and using them for decorating.

Here are a couple of brand-new launches I recently received.

French Country Cottage SEASONS– by Courtney Allison- if you don’t follow Courtney on Instagram (French Country Cottage), you need to if you love flowers and beautiful arrangements, along with table arrangements and greenhouses. This book is her 2nd book, and both are beautiful.

Baked In-Designing Bakeries for taste and space

Around the Table -By Shea McGee-Tables & Traditions for Gathering Cookbook

Best Banana Bread with Chocolate Chips Recipe

September 27, 2026

Best Banana Bread with Chocolate Chips Recipe

Hello Pretty Ladies,

Something you may not know about me? I love to bake and entertain, as you know, and I’ve been cooking and baking since I was so young! I won the BEST apple pie in the 3rd grade and would have been one of those kids vying to be on today’s Baking Kids Championships, had we had those then! In my time, it was the county fair and school baking competition. Boy, times have changed! Not that I am a fancy baker (I am not); I just love to bake good basics!

Once upon a time, years ago, I put on scrapbooking retreats, and I cooked all the meals, 3 meals a day plus snacks. The ladies always raved about my food and wanted me to create a cookbook, and while I said I would, I collected mine and my family’s recipes, but I never put that book together! Maybe one day I will, but until then I’ll be sharing my favorites here! My plan has always been that, if all goes well, I’ll share a weekly recipe.

This week’s recipe: my Grandma’s Banana bread or muffins recipe, with a couple of improvements! My Grandma Mercer made this Bread every Christmas, and sometimes we’d get lucky and get it for a family gathering throughout the year. I started making this bread when I got married and giving it to our neighbors, UPS, the mailman, and friends for Christmas. I’d make 24 loaves! I’d save every brown spotted banana and throw it in the freezer. At first my hubby would question all the bananas taking up all the freezer space, but now nobody says a thing! They get really excited if they see them defrosting in the sink!

My boys are terrible… They’ll each eat a loaf in a day if I’d let them! When I make a batch, I always make multiple batches. If making for my family, I’ll do 4 batches and make two trays of muffins and 4 medium loaves, then I’ll freeze 1/2. When I make at Christmas, I’ll make 8 to 12 batches and make some medium loaves and the rest mini loaves to give as gifts.

My Grandma’s recipe called for 3 overripe bananas; I use 4, and I make sure the bananas are frozen and then thawed. This makes the moistest banana Bread you’ve ever had. I also added chocolate chips or nuts; my grandmother’s was just plain banana bread. You can leave out the Chocolate chips or the nuts if you wish; the main recipe won’t change.

Recipe: Best Banana Bread with Chocolate Chips

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

4 overripe bananas

1 cup sugar

3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted & cooled

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

For a variation, add chocolate chips ( 2 cups), walnuts, or pecans (1 cup)!

Powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions:

Instructions: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and lightly grease your muffin or loaf pans. Mash the bananas with a fork in a small bowl and then whip them; set aside. In a large bowl, add butter, eggs, and vanilla; beat well. Mix dry ingredients; fold in the bananas and chocolate chips, nuts, or both. Pour batter into loaf or muffin pans. Give the pan a good rap on the counter to get rid of air bubbles! Place in oven, oven’s all range in heat temperatures so time could vary, so I say start checking in 45 min but could go as long as 1 hour. Test by sticking a toothpick in the center; if it comes out clean, it’s done! Makes 1 large loaf or 2 small loaves.

I hope you enjoy one of my family’s favorite treats!

Using Velvet Pumpkins in an Elegant Fall Tablescape

Using Velvet Pumpkins in an Elegant Fall Tablescape

Hello Pretty Ladies,

Can you believe we’re already in the last week of October? Fall this year went by in warp speed. It’s no secret that it’s my favorite season, and it just goes by faster and faster every year. I really enjoy taking in all the moments, colors, tastes, scents, and activities of the season. With that said, I had fun creating this Fall tablescape at the beginning of the season. To me, this tablescape is full of everything beautiful about the fall season.

The statement pieces of this fall tablescape are these gorgeous Handmade Velvet pumpkins, with real stems, created by Hot Skwash. They create beautiful Velvet fruits and vegetables to use all year long for your home decorating needs.

I hope you find inspiration for your Fall or Thanksgiving Tablescape, from our dining room to yours. Ox, D’Arcy

Fall Prints You’ll love this Season: Bandana Print and Paisley Print

Fall Prints You’ll love this Season: Bandana Print and Paisley Print

Hello,

Pretty Ladies, I hope your week is off to a good start. It’s so hard for me to believe we’re in the final days of September. My favorite season is always the shortest. I just adore Fall and Fall fashion. Crisp mornings and evenings, with perfect temperatures during the day. Today, I am talking about a classic, fun print that lends itself to a western and boho vibe.

Bandana and paisley prints are showing up in a big way this Fall; I am seeing them everywhere, from accessories to clothing. This print doesn’t have to be styled western or boho; you can wear it on its own or style it more preppy, with a Ralph Lauren vibe. I purchased a pair of slightly barrel jeans this summer and have loved them. Styled them casually below, and also have styled them with my version of how Ralph Lauren would style them in layers.

I ordered a pack of these 4 Bandanas, perfect to tie on a bag, wear around your neck, in your hair, or tie through your belt loop or even your cowboy boots. Along with this cardigan, the perfect layer over a T-shirt and jeans. I’ll be styling it as soon as it arrives.

Below, I have scoured several websites to find you items that make it easy to add a little touch of this trending print into your wardrobe this fall. You can add a touch with a pair of socks or a scarf. Make a statement with a sweater or skirt.

Are you excited to play around with this trend? Tell me below.

Apple Cinnamon Crumb Cake Muffin Recipe

August 16, 2026

Apple Cinnamon Crumb Cake Muffin Recipe

Hello, pretty ladies,

Happy Sunday. I hope you had a great week. Today’s “In the Kitchen with D’Arcy”

Apple Cinnamon Crumb Cake Muffin Recipe- The apple and coffee cake lovers will love this recipe, perfect for a morning or afternoon snack. This has been a longtime favorite in our home, and I know your family will love them too.

Apple Cinnamon Crumb Cake Muffins

These apple cinnamon Crumb Cake muffins are an easy treat to make. Perfect when you have an abundance of fall apples! I love Honeycrisp apples. You can also use a variety of apples, from tart Granny Smith to sweet Honeycrisp or Gala, for a well-rounded flavor. The Apple Cinnamon Crumb gives these muffins a coffee cake vibe and is like a Strudel topping.

Ingredients

Apple Muffins:

1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
¾ cup white sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon salt
1 large egg
⅓ cup coconut oil
⅓ cup milk
2 medium apples – peeled, cored, and chopped (I can my apples every year, making this step easy)

Topping:

½ cup white sugar
1/2 brown sugar
½ cup all-purpose flour
1⁄3 cup butter, cubed
1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon milk

Directions

Step 1

Gather the ingredients. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line 6 large (3½-inch) muffin cups with paper muffin liners.. p-The baking temperate was increased to 425 degrees F for the first 5 minutes to help create a domed, bakery-style top.

Step 2

To make the muffins: Stir together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt in a large bowl. Mix in egg, oil, and milk until just combined. Fold in chopped apples.

Step 3

Spoon ½ cup of batter into each muffin liner ( I use a cookie scoop)

Step 4

To make the streusel topping: Place sugar, flour, butter, and cinnamon in a small bowl; mash with a fork until the mixture begins to cling together. Sprinkle topping evenly over unbaked muffins (I do like to push a little into the muffin)

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven for 5 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F and bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool in pan briefly; remove muffins and cool on a wire rack.
