Thinking about Thanksgiving Table Decor.

Thanksgiving, tablescape, centerpiece, fall, autumn, entertaining

I just boxed up the last of the Halloween decor and now I am thinking about ideas for our Thanksgiving table decor.  We host Thanksgiving each year, and I think last year’s decor might have been my favorite: I loved the hanging centerpiece and the white, beribboned pumpkins with just a touch of bling. A […]

Do you love those cinnamon scented pine-cones that are sold this time of year?  (In a house full of stinky boys, I am a big fan of yummy air fresheners!)  I love them and want them on display, but I like mixing them up with other fall elements. Popping those pine-cones into a big tarnished […]

Fall colors at my house.

September 25, 2013 6 Comments

Here in Southern California it can be kind of difficult to get into the “fall” swing of things.  Sometimes it’s a stretch to deck out the house and yard with full blown fall colors and decor.  I mean, it seems kind of contrived to have the thermometer read 86 degrees but have my mantel full […]

Ombre Rosette Wreath from Flamingo Toes

September 12, 2013 1 Comment

I’m ready to start decorating for fall!  Prior to 9/11, I used to start the fall decor on September 1, but now I tend to keep my red, white and blue up until after that date each year.  Well, it’s the 12th, and I’m ready to move into the fall season. I am in love […]

Monogrammed orange pomanders from Eclectically Vintage

September 10, 2013 Leave a Comment

One of the best things about fall is the delicious scents that always seem to be in the air.  Scents that make us think of crisp, cool days… of falling leaves… of things baking… of Starbucks Pumpkins Spice Lattes…  One of my favorite fall scents is orange and spice.  I came across these adorable monogrammed […]

You know I love me some pumpkins, right?  There are plenty on my blog (you can see them here) but I came across a couple that I wanted to share.  Both started out as drab little Dollar Store Pumpkins. Look at these beautiful gilded pumpkins from Karen at Redoux! These guys went from orange to […]
