Hello Friends!! It’s Wednesday, and that means another round of this new series Easy Elegance!! We started this series last week, and I’m so excited to be teaming up with some amazing bloggers, where each week we share beautiful inspiration that compliments the relaxed home decor style you and I know and love! Honestly it’s a style I strive for in our home every time I’m tinkering or moving things around, or just simply fluffing the throw pillows on my couch.
Hello friends!! I can’t believe that in just ONE day my book, The Gift of Gathering, releases!! A friend asked me over the weekend at a BBQ how it feels, and I told them it still feels very surreal, like it hasn’t hit yet, and on the other hand it feels a little raw, like I’m walking around with my heart on my sleeve, because this book baby I’ve been working on will now be out in the world for everyone to see, GULP! To celebrate the release of the book, I’ve asked some blogging friends to join me in celebrating, AND I have a special GIVEAWAY for one lucky winner to receive!
Hello Friends! Today I’m sharing a super easy way to create a fall planter. I never really did anything with my planters for fall up until a few years ago. Thinking the season was over, and they would just die, I didn’t see the point. Now I love coming up with ideas to add some color to the outside of our home until a fresh blanket of white snow shows up. This year I focused on things that I could replant in the spring, for an added win! Come and check it out ~
Hello Friends!! This week I shared some of our outdoor spaces with you ready for fall. And if you saw my DIY Fall Planter post, then you know I’m loving deep colors outside this year, like plums and burgundy’s and dark greens. Today I’m breaking down the plants I used, and the color scheme I chose to go with, and so many more gardening tips for anyone who is looking to get some fall plants! Let’s get our hands in the dirt shall we?

Hello Friends!! Thank you SO much for all of your kind remarks about the area in front of our barn I shared yesterday!! Sometimes you don’t really need a lot of space, it’s what you do with the space you have, and that little area in front of our barn decorated for fall really feels like I’m making the most of it! I’m continuing with sharing more of our outdoor spaces today with our farmers porch! Come and take a look ~
We are having the most splendid fall temperatures, seriously I can’t even believe it. It’s been mild, with cooler mornings, and comfortable days that dip back down into cooler temperatures at night. We have had no humidity for the last couple of weeks, and honestly I couldn’t wish for better fall weather. It’s made transitioning the inside of our home for fall easy, and now I’m turning my attention towards our outdoor spaces. Today I’m sharing our fall patio!
Friends, can I be honest. Vulnerable even. One of the biggest obstacles I had to overcome when writing my book, was not believing the lie that I’m a bad writer. Even simply writing that sentence “writing my book”, I paused. I hesitated. I’ve shared on here before how passionate I am about encouraging others to chase their dreams, but believe me when I tell you – I know the obstacles that come when chasing those dreams. And today I’m sharing one of mine with you.
3 years ago, I created this tablescape. And while I was photographing it for an upcoming blog post, something just sparked in me, like never before. While I was taking pictures my hubby called home to see how my day was going, and before he could finish his question I exclaimed – “Fantastic! It’s going fantastic, I love this so much. If I could only create tablescapes, and style them and then photograph them for the rest of my life, this is ALL I want to do!” I said it so confidently and proud, only to hear his response “you want to photograph tables for the rest of your life?” LOL! In short yes, but
