Fall Decor Stash and New Finds

Last Winter and early Spring before the move, I spent days going through all of my seasonal decor tubs and I purged so many things that I didn't use. I tried to get things a little organized and labeled, making mental notes of what was in what container. It's easy to recognize that I love Fall decorating, since  I have more Fall decor than all the other seasons hands down.

All About Home Link Party #1

Hello, Hello, Hello!!!

and Welcome to the very first All About Home Link Party!

Amber (Follow The Yellow Brick Home) and I are so excited to be co-hosting the new link-up get-together that celebrates "Home" and all that we enjoy about it. We both love all things Home Decor, Vintage and Antiques, and Seasonal fun. We want to provide a fun place where we can all link our posts that are about "Home". 

Garden Room with Sunflowers and Ticking

Hello Friends! I've had a few posts where I've added some Sunflowers to the decor, so I thought I'd share the latest in The Garden Room on the church pew, and a few more pics of the Farm table with Sunflowers in the Ice Cream Bucket.

Exciting News...it's "All About Home"!

Hi Friends, I've been about to explode for weeks with some fun news that has been in the planning stage! Amber from Follow the Yellow Brick Home and I have been getting our heads together to co-host a new Link Party that will begin this coming Monday, August 12. We're super excited and hope you will be too!

Celebrating Summer with a Mini Home Tour

Hello Friends, Welcome to Celebrating Summer, 

a Blog Hop hosted by our sweet friend

  Amber from Follow the Yellow Brick Home. 

As Summer winds down through the month of August, there's still time to enjoy the warm weather, family time, and a few delicious alfresco dinners. Last year this time, we were just starting to pack for a big move and readying ourselves for a year of home renovations. I really hadn't been able to enjoy last Summer at all, so this year I've been thankful for having a home and outside spaces that have been fun to decorate with flowers and plantings, to relax in, and basically get back to "living life".

August Mantel and Hearth Room

Hello Friends and Welcome to August!

I've mentioned before that August used to be my least favorite month of the year. Oooh, I felt bad that I gave it such a bad rap, especially since ALL my husband's family had birthdays in August. (strange...) It's just that I really get tired of the hot weather by now, which is usually dry and oppressive, and the older I've gotten the less able I am to handle hot weather. But a couple of years ago I had a change of heart in my attitude.

Sunflowers for a Late Summer Dining Room

Since August shows up a little later in the week, I'm adding some "Late Summer" color with Sunflowers. They're the perfect way to transition into Early Fall. Real or faux, spread them around for some "happy face" time. You just can't look at Sunflowers without a big smile showing up. I'm adding a touch of "Late Summer" here in the Dining Room on the buffet with a few Sunflowers and prints.
