A simple, yet elegant fall tablescape in earthy neutrals and metallics Sometimes when you are a crafter or a DIY’er, you do strange things. ?

In this post: Ideas for coastal inspired mantel decor with items you might already have at home. Coastal Inspired Mantel Decor I was supposed to be in Mexico a couple of weeks ago.

I’m a participant in Jennifer Rizzo’s Holiday Housewalk Linky Party 2019. . . I woke up this morning with Christmas music jingling around in my head.

Have you seen those cute wreaths made from embroidery hoops? Most of them are just the hoop, but with a flower swag of some sort on the top or the bottom. I needed a new fall wreath and decided to make one of these for my front door. But I wanted some actual embroidery in…
Summer is pretty much in full swing in my part of the world. It’s usually about this time that I start pulling out the beachy decor and looking for ways to decorate with seashells.

The other day I mentioned that “Woodland Glam” was the phrase I settled on for the look I was going for with my Christmas decorations this year. I added some new touches to my mantel and tree. The dining room table also got a splash of woodland glam. This deer was my inspiration… (affiliate links…
Woodland glam…is that a thing? I don’t know if it truly is, but it’s the phrase that came to me when I was figuring out my Christmas decor for this year. I know it’s late in the decorating season, but if you see an idea that you like, maybe you can Pin it for next…
In this post: An Easter tablescape with bunnies, gingham, and fresh flowers. Do you ever go through seasons where you feel like you’re perpetually behind schedule on just about everything? That’s where I’ve been for the past few weeks. We’ve had a couple of bouts of sickness around here and that’s the only thing I…
