Style Scouting: Vol. 265
Thanks for stopping by for this week’s Style Scouting. My Sunday post where I share the random stuff that captured my attention or inspired me that I found online.
This past week was an exciting one for me! Ed and I spent it up in Virginia at my daughter Mandy and son-in-law Matt’s home to help them out after they had their first child, a boy. Now I am Mimi and Ed – G.P. (short for Grand-Père in French) to 3 grandchildren! :-)
He is such a cutie and I am loving being able to spend quality time with him since we live 6 hours away and don’t get to see them on a daily or weekly basis. I enjoyed holding him, changing his diapers and helping out.
It will be hard leaving, but we will be seeing them over the holidays along with the rest of the family – lots more quality holiday family time planned ahead. :-)
I hope you have a great week ahead and enjoy Halloween this coming Friday.
Now onto the links I found for you this week.

Congrats Diane to you and your family on the birth of your beautiful grandson. How exciting❤️
So many great ideas today. You will love making those fleece blankets. My boys still have the football themed ones I made that had their school colors from middle school. They are now 31 and 35. We have made several since either gifted or for us. The Midwest gets pretty cold and they are perfect to warm up with.
Congratulations on your newest grandchild!!! 💙🩵💜
I just ordered the fleece top in Black Watch plaid this week.
When I got the email they were half off I immediately placed my order for a couple.
I probably have 8 of these purchased throughout the years and live in them from now through March. My oldest ones look as good as my newer ones. At $25 or less you can’t go wrong. Sounds like you will be very busy at Christmas…..looking forward to seeing how you will decorate this year.
Congrats on the newest addition. A boy of joy!
Congratulations Diane and Ed on your beautiful grandson!

Thanks so much Diane xx.
