Top Shelf Clearance Challenge ~ November
Happy Monday, friends! This time of the year is always so much fun, and so busy! Tara and I have both been so busy, that we completely forgot to get a group together for this month’s clearance challenge! So, it will just be the two of us today. For my clearance find, I found the cutest little glass knobs at Hobby Lobby, and instantly knew that they would be perfect to use as the bases for some bottlebrush trees. I took the screws out of the knobs. This was the most challenging part, because the screws were glued into the knobs. So, if I were to do this again, I’d…

Dreaming of a White Christmas
Happy Sunday, friends!! I hope y’all are having a wonderful weekend! It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas around here! I know that many of you aren’t quite ready to get your Christmas on just yet, but over here, we’re getting started and loving it! The first thing that I brought out from storage this year, was the white village that I made last year. You can click HERE to see just how I made them! These little houses, with their sparkling glass glittered roofs, paired with bottle brush trees (new and vintage), and twinkle lights are perfect for the winter months! This hutch is one of my favorite…

A Jar of Gratitude
Happy Wednesday, sweet friends! November is always such a crazy time, trying to figure out when to start putting up Christmas decor, without forgetting about Thanksgiving. So, I’m sure that amongst my Christmas decor, that will be coming at you real soon, there will still be a few more fall and Thanksgiving posts this month. Today, I’m so excited to be joining a few girls for a DIY challenge hosted by Terrie, from Decorate and More With Tip. The challenge guidelines were simple, use some sort of glass jar or cylinder to create something for fall… Using one of my favorite vintage jars, and a branch that I found on…

All hearts come home for Christmas ~ a glimpse of what’s to come
Happy Monday, lovelies!! I’m still in shock that it is already November! There is so much excitement in my soul! Throughout the year, every time I do any sort of project around my house, I always think…”how will this look during the holiday season? Will this add to the cozy feel that I hope to create?” I know, that might seem so crazy, but it is what it is!! I LOVE Christmas, and love all of the cozy vibes and family togetherness that the holidays bring! Last year, I never quite finished decorating, that’s actually the case almost every year. But this year, I’m hoping to start now, and finish…

French Vintage Friday ~ bottle brush trees
Happy November 1st!! Is this year passing by way too fast, or is it just me feeling this way? I seriously cannot believe it’s already November!! Bring on the Christmas decor!!! Today, for French Vintage Friday, I’m sharing bottle brush trees. They are such a fun, and easy way to add a little Christmas cheer to any vignette! I LOVE vintage bottle brush trees, but they’re getting harder and harder to find, so I mix old with new, which I also love! Nothing beats the quality and uniqueness of vintage! But, if you’re like me, and can’t afford to order a bunch of vintage bottle brush trees from eBay, you…

Thrifted Treasure ~ October
Happy Monday, sweet friends! I am so excited to be starting this week off with our monthly thrift challenge! And, lucky for me, my sister and I just returned from a little trip, to visit our baby brother, in Washington DC, where we visited every thrift store that we saw! My little brother lives on such a cute street, just a couple blocks from the Capitol building, and within walking distance of Georgetown Law School, where he is in his final year of school. We would get up every morning, walk to get a cup of coffee together, and then while he was at school and studying at the library,…

Fun and Festive Halloween Decor
Happy Monday, friends! Can you believe that Halloween is less than two weeks away!!? Do you decorate for Halloween? I don’t do a lot, but I always try to do a few fun things for my kids. My boys love Halloween! I was at Michael’s the other day, and found some really cute die cuts! I knew that with a few glass bottles and these die cuts, I could make something fun and festive. Using Elmer’s glue, I simply glued a die cut on each bottle… Such a fun and easy Halloween vignette!! For those of you that want information about this white wood riser, you can check out how…

Pulling it together ~ Thanksgiving/Fall Tablescape Ideas
Happy Sunday, friends!! I hope y’all are enjoying this beautiful fall weekend! I had a little free time today, so I decided to do something fun…create two quick fall tablescapes! Before we know it, Thanksgiving is going to be here, and this year I want to be prepared! For me, that means creating a few tablescapes, so I can gather my ideas and know exactly what I need for the big day! You might remember the tablescape that I created a week or so ago…. For today’s tablescape, I used quite a few of the same elements, but also added/took away a few things. I added this eucalyptus and foraged…
