I love fall!!!! It is my favorite season. I love the crisp morning air and the changing colors of the leaves. By the time we start to feel a little chill in the air, it is such a welcome change. Since fall has just started I was happy to join a group of bloggers to share our fall home tours. (links at end) I was especially excited to decorate for fall because we finally got around to painting the dining room. I love how it turned out! Read more

I absolutely adore found vintage goods. So when a group of vintage loving bloggers asked me to join them I jumped on the offer. We are sharing how we use crocks, crates, baskets and trays in our homes. The links to their blogs are at the end of this post, you will love their homes. They’re amazing!!

It was a trick that I discovered when I decorated a party with succulents. I just clipped the succulent buds and set them on a bed of moss in an urn thinking that it would just look nice for the party. I still have the display and it has been 5 months.
