Fall Decor & Design
he season has to offer – including the pumpkin spice chocolate covered coffee beans from Trader Joes – YUM! I pulled out my fall decor bin 2 weeks ago, but have yet to finish, or dare I say really pull any of the decor out, LOL! So in an effort to put a little fire under my butt and finish my fall decorating, today I’m sharing a simple fall vignette I assembled, using some minimal decor – and mostly just the power pumpkins.
Hello Friends! while fall begins to slowly enter the scene in our backyard, I thought I would share with you my Simple Fall Porch this year. Come and see ~
I’m sure you’ve probably heard me say this before, but one of my favorite ways to start the transition of my home decor over to a new season is with flowers. Or branches, or stems, or weeds – lol. Whatever I can get my hands on, that I find inspiring me of the changes taking place in nature outside my window. Today I’m sharing some photos of a fall floral arrangement I made, and you can watch the tutorial video to see how this arrangement came to life step by step!
Hello friends! I get it, this year has been nuts. Honestly I didn’t think for one minute that we would still be dealing with these circumstances come Thanksgiving, but alas here we are. I know we all have our reservations about how things look moving forward, but one thing I know for sure, is that I will not hold back on making our Thanksgiving table feel special for my family this year! Regardless of who is and isn’t gathering around your table this year for Thanksgiving I wanted to share some simple tips for making it feel special. Something I think we are all longing for right about now.
So the comedy in sharing this recipe with you all today is that I have actually never like stuffing before in my life – until NOW! It’s true I tell you, up until earlier this year when I made this recipe for the first time, I have never before in my life liked stuffing. When I was in high school, I thought maybe my taste buds had matured enough, that all those thanksgivings as a kid, trying bites of stuffing that I did not like would finally have trained my taste buds to like it – nope! I should put this disclaimer out there, that I am not a picky eater. Yet here I was well into my 30’s still not liking stuffing. In fact if you asked me what was my least favorite food, stuffing would have been my answer – until now!
Hello friends!! This week sure was fun sharing on the blog. Mostly because it involved one of my favorite topics – tablescapes. I was chatting with a friend this week about this years Thanksgiving Tablescape, and told her I don’t know which holiday I like creating tablescapes for more – Thanksgiving or Christmas? Or if it’s more of just me loving what those holiday tablescapes represent. Gathering around the table with friends and family. Today I’m sharing all the sources for my tablescape, and also a step by step guide for how I put it together. I hope it inspires you as you start thinking about special details you could add to your thanksgiving tablescape this year as well.
Hello friends!! Thank you so much for all of your kind words regarding this years Thanksgiving table. I was chatting with a friend the other day, and I told her it’s a hard toss up to decide which holiday I like creating tablescapes for more, Thanksgiving or Christmas! I love the seasonal elements that both holidays bring forth, but what I love even more is the excuse the holiday gives me to create a fancy table for my family. Today I’m sharing how I made the place cards I used on this years Thanksgiving table. It was quite simple, but there’s nothing quite like adding the personal touch of a place card to make others feel welcome.
As I was preparing for this years Thanksgiving Tablescape, I had an image pop up in my memories of the very first thanksgiving tablescape I created over 7 years ago! It was crazy to look back and see how this love of creating a warm gathering place has always been apart of me. The desire to see family and close friends gathered around the table sharing a meal and building memories. I know that this year Thanksgiving might look a little different than it has in years past, but I hope that at the heart of your table this year you are able to soak in the moments with those gathered around it. Today I have some special friends joining me, as we share our Thanksgiving tables for 2020.
I did something this week, that I’ve never done before. Now I realize to my young 36 year old self that isn’t highly unlikely, but you see I’m a creature of habit. A risk taker I am not. I like to stay inside my perfectly drawn lines I’ve made for my life, and I stick to them. My days are routine, for the most part. I know what I expect. Sure I may get adventurous every now and then, but if I’m really being honest with myself, I can’t remember the last time I did something last minute or spontaneous. No I like consistency. I like to know what to expect and plan for what’s coming. All good qualities I assure you, but my friends quickly find out, I’m not the person to call for a last minute invite.
