Pumpkin Roundup in the Dining Room

Hi Everyone, I hope you're having a wonderful week. We've had a taste of Fall here in Southwest Missouri these last few days with the trees getting more vibrant, a day of gray skies and soaking rain, and some much cooler temps. (High of 63). We'll hit 80 again, but it was sure nice for a change.

Can we all talk about the hours that we spend on Pinterest?

OK, maybe you're not a junkie like I am, but honestly,

 it's a place where I always leave with new ideas and inspiration.

Easy Fall Centerpiece with a Galvanized Watering Can

I love a centerpiece on the Kitchen Table, 

and I usually have a small wooden tote here, 

but recently I've had to admit, a tote may not be very practical

 when you have to move it several times each day.

 Filled with dishes, a candle, tea towels, or a small ivy, it can get unwieldy...

 and then it becomes an accident waiting to happen!
