We&#8217;ve left the kittens with Todd and are headed to Valencia for the weekend. Do you know of anything we absolutely must see during our quick visit? On S&#8217;s list is the cathedral and the local market. I&#8217;ve been too under the weather to do any planning, but that&#8217;s OK. I like to travel with no agenda. Sorry no photo today; this cold really knocked me down for the past few days.

The flounced sleeve on the left is one of those puzzles I&#8217;d love to tackle. It looks like it&#8217;s just a matter of adding a curved seam to the raglan sleeve so the flounce can carry on from the body and travel across and down the sleeve.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_67623\" style=\"max-width: 760px;\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/oliverands.com\/community\/content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/11-a-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-67623 size-large\" src=\"\/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/11-a-1-760x510.jpg\" alt=\"Liesl's Pinterest picks for November 23\" width=\"760\" height=\"510\" srcset=\"\/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/11-a-1-760x510.jpg 760w, \/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/11-a-1-500x335.jpg 500w, \/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/11-a-1-768x515.jpg 768w, \/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/11-a-1-1240x649.jpg 1240w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 760px) 100vw, 760px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/75787206214569509\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pinterest link<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/75787206214569516\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pinterest link<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Isn&#8217;t this gondola advent calendar a cute idea?

I must admit that I can&#8217;t really get on board. And now that I think about it, I almost never see them in Spain. Or in New York, for that matter.<\/li>\n<li>I&#8217;ll be turning 50 in February, so I&#8217;ve been thinking about style and age lately. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2018\/06\/20\/style\/instagram-grandmas.html?mc=adintl&amp;ad-keywords=IntlAudDev&amp;subid1=TAFI&amp;dclid=CImDmPzK4t4CFVYj0wodYXcDhg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">This article<\/a> gave me hope for aging stylishly.

I&#8217;d certainly like to know what&#8217;s in store and was happy to read that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2018\/11\/19\/opinion\/symptoms-perimenopause-menopause-middle-age.html?smid=fb-nytimes&amp;smtyp=cur\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">I&#8217;m not the only one<\/a>. We teach our kids all about puberty but we ourselves don&#8217;t learn what to expect for this stage in life.<\/li>\n<li>Did you know that the Macy&#8217;s Thanksgiving Day Parade used to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2017\/11\/22\/nyregion\/macys-thanksgiving-parade-balloons.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">release the giant balloons<\/a> after the parade? I mean, what could possibly go wrong with a giant inflatable rubber thing floating through the sky?<\/li>\n<li>I think I want to be reincarnated as a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2018\/11\/15\/fashion\/michelle-obama-stylist-meredith-koop.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">stylist<\/a>.

(Although I think dressing in vintage, for most of us, isn&#8217;t technically vintage but &#8220;investment pieces&#8221; that we&#8217;ve owned for a long time.)<\/li>\n<li>This was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.highsnobiety.com\/p\/ralph-lauren-lo-life-streetwear-legacy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the most fascinating article I read all week<\/a>, on so many levels. For example, &#8220;the brand is at its best when it treats its garments like LEGO bricks. Sure, you could put a set together according to the instructions, but the kids who see a jet fighter in a pile of gray blocks meant to make a castle tend to be more fun.&#8221; (YES!) And &#8220;Bonz Malone describes the Lo-Lifes as &#8216;a group of guys who stole garments because society told them they couldn\u2019t afford the American Dream.'&#8221; Ugh, the sad underside of designing luxury fashion. It&#8217;s not very inclusive, is it?<\/li>\n<li>Go, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2018\/11\/01\/education\/learning\/how-makers-make-the-classroom-more-inclusive.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">makers<\/a>!
