November!

I always feel old when time moves by too quickly.  It's been an amazing fall this year with great weather and many blessings!  I'm ready for the Thankful/Grateful season of November.

Here is a fall themed table scape I did the other day.

My napkins are folded and sitting up in a wire basket that I found in the Target $ spot area.  It was $3!  I feel particularly proud of that this year.  

My favorite part was using my tree slices as a charger.  I used these tree slices as part of centerpieces for my wedding (4 years ago!!) and now they are spread throughout the house with all kinds of things like vases and candles on top of them.

I also always like to add different heights of interest at a table.  So I turned my brass bowl upside down and set up a dessert plate on top.

I love mixing grey/tans/browns/gold/silver tones together.  I think it makes for a warm comforting feeling.

If you like the printable table decorations you can find them in my etsy shop!  They are so easy to use, you can print them at home and just write names or sweet messages on them and add that extra finish to your fall or Thanksgiving table!

All about that Bass: Part 2

I'm all about that bass....

Well at least the cute paper goods / accessories.  Aren't these printables the cutest?  I'm all about adding to the party.  Get it?

I love excuses to use my tiny vintage plates that never seem practical to use for any occasion.  I guess the non-practicality is what makes them decorative and adorable.

I also like all the possibilities with just a few different paper goods that can be used in so many different ways.

You can find my printables here...

Gallery Wall

I have a gallery wall in my bathroom.  Why not give people something to look at, right?  Anyhow, instead of showing you a crappy photo of my bathroom wall I'm showing you a virtual one.  In my real bathroom I have a photo of a day lilly that was named after me, Kayleigh Ann.  I have a water color painting of that flower done by my dad. I have a print of the above "look for the silver lining" picture of a hot air balloon.  Lastly I have a scherenschnitte, we found in Herman, MO on our one year anniversary.  I like the idea of mixing personal things with pretty prints.  

I think etsy is the perfect place to find cute artwork and prints for your home.  There are so many options, everybody can find something that fits their personal style.  Here is where I found all of the above...

Wishing for Fall

The midwest heat has finally broken.  Today's high in the upper 80s felt down right like fall compared to what we've been living with for the past month.  I've found some really sophistocated fall decor I thought I thought I'd share with you...

Display your Stuff

I love finding cute and creative ways to display my cute and creative stuff.  Look at what I recently pinned.

Redeemed

When at first you don't succeed; try, try again.

I took off all of the crocheted flowers from the pillow I made a little while ago and decided to make it look better some how.  I tied them together by the petals in neat little rows.

Then with the few that I had left over I sewed onto the original pillow that is a huge granny square.

On the other side of booth pillows I have the chevron pattern.  I don't know about you, but I love chevron!

Here is where I posted the chevron pattern that I used!
