Happy Monday! Did you have a nice weekend? Kevin, Steevenson and I visited the Curb Market in downtown Montgomery on Saturday and picked up a bunch of fun pumpkins! Over the past few weeks, I’ve craved to “hush” the house a little (and let the pumpkins do the talkin!), so I cleared off the mantel, […]
Well, it’s still hot and humid here in southern Alabama, but Kirkland’s sent over some really pretty Fall goodies this weekend, and they definitely have me fired up to start decorating with warmer and cozier textures and colors! I usually don’t go “all out” when it comes to decorating for Fall, but I do like […]
Hi, guys! Okay- I told you I was going to share a post about the centerpiece I created for the middle of our dining room table today, so here I am with some pics! It was inexpensive and easy-peasy to put together, and the (real) pumpkins in it should last at least a couple of weeks, […]
Happy October, y’all! I ended up making two easy, portable Fall centerpieces this weekend, so I thought I’d share one today, and the other on Friday. And because I love both looks, today’s is warm-toned, and Friday’s will lean cooler. The flowers and stems in today’s arrangement are all faux, and they were all 40% […]
Happy Monday and happy Fall, y’all! Boy would I love to be in Minnesota this month as the leaves are changing color! All my family members live in the #4 band on that chart, but we won’t be there at this time this year. 🙁 We were thinking about going in late November, so Steevenson can […]
Hi, friends! Our Fall blog hop continues at Rachel’s place today. She’s sharing some pretty Fall decorating ideas over at Shades Of Blue Interiors: And if you missed any of the posts in our hop before today, I’ll link to them below. On Monday, I shared our Fall mantel: On Tuesday, Beth shared her pretty […]
Happy Wednesday, friends! Our Fall blog hop continues today over at Michael’s blog, Inspired by Charm. He’s shared a yummy butter pecan cupcake recipe and you’ll definitely want to swing over to his place to read all about it! Does that make your mouth water, or what?! 😀 I’m re-sharing one of my mother-in-law’s delicious […]
Whew! Last week was a wild one! ? Kevin and I worked together with a handful of our friends/neighbors on a Christmas-themed photoshoot for the very first issue of Belong magazine. (It comes out mid-November, and you can find more information about it here if you’re interested: Belong-Mag.com.) It felt a little strange trimming a tree […]
“Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.” Romans 12:12 One more sleep ’til we head to Louisiana to welcome little Samuel home!! Aaaahhhh!! 😀 I had fun adding a few fall touches to the mantel this afternoon. My sweet friend Tiffini from House of Belonging sent me the beautiful sign, and I […]
I can’t believe I missed Pike Road’s hay bale decorating contest this year! :-O We were on our road trip up north when our neighbors got together and created our neighborhood’s display: Isn’t that fun?! I love the sunset and pallet boardwalk…and those waves are pretty awesome, too! It ended up coming in 3rd place, so Kevin picked […]
“He laughed again, and I knew in that instant it was a sound I wouldn’t want to live without.” -Wendy Delsol The sound of his laugh has always been like chicken soup for my soul, but I realized today that he has another reaction that I wouldn’t want to live without. It happens every time […]
“There is nothing that makes me happier than sitting around the dinner table and talking until the candles are burned down.” ―Madeleine L’Engle Is it Friday already? Man this week went whooshed by, didn’t it? I promised a post about what Evan and Lilly created in the kitchen at Kathy’s, so I’m back today with […]
Whew- what a busy week! Preparing for The Chapel Market has had me on the go-go-go, and I sure can’t wait to sit down in Bethany’s chair at the salon this morning. Yep. I’ve decided it’s time to decorate my hair for Fall. I’m thinking: cinnamon sugar…a.k.a- light auburn with a variety of lighter-colored highlights. We’ll see how that […]
“Fall colors are funny. They’re so bright and intense and beautiful. It’s like nature is trying to fill you up with color, to saturate you so you can stockpile it before winter turns everything muted and dreary.” ―Siobhan Vivian Let’s talk farmer’s markets. I went to the one downtown today, and I am officially hooked. (How […]
It’s hay bale decorating time again! Remember last year? I published this post: Halloween Hay Bales, and said I hoped to get in on the action next time around? Well, turns out, the Town of Pike Road has a hay bale decorating competition every year, and this year 41 different neighborhoods entered their decked out […]
