FIRST DAY OF FALL

source First Day of Fall The Autumnal Equinox I wish you all a beautiful day!

Pink and Brown Fall Tablescape

I love the color combination of light pink and brown and I thought it would make a pretty fall tablescape. I went through my house and pulled everything I could find with those colors and this is what I came up with. ~ so hard to get good pictures on a rainy day : ( ~ little peat pots are so versatile, inexpensive and add wonderful texture ~ "The Boss" has been working hard behind the scenes ~ or I should really say "in the scenes" ~ oh yes, very helpful! I'm joining the Fall Tablescape party at  THE LETTERED COTTAGE I can't wait to see what you have come up with! Thank you all so much for visiting and the sweet comments that you have been leaving ~ it really does mean a lot to me! ∞ ∞ ∞ also joining this week ∞ ∞ ∞ COZY LITTLE HOUSE ~ TWEAK IT TUESDAY CEDAR HILL RANCH ~ COWGIRL UP!

No Place Like Home

Like so many of you, I love to putter around my house, making little changes here and there. Today I would like to share some of those with you. ~ I hope you enjoy ~ "Mid pleasures and palaces though we may roam, Be it ever so humble, there's no place like home"  - John Howard Payne • • • joining • • • COZY LITTLE HOUSE ~ TWEAK IT TUESDAY CEDAR HILL RANCH ~ COWGIRL UP!

Clean and Tidy

There's just something about a clean and tidy home that doesn't compare to any amount of decorating. I get such a good feeling when the house is (relatively) clean and organized.  Over the years, I have learned that 'good enough' is 'good enough'. Believe me, my house is no way near spotless, but at this moment  I feel satisfied that it is 'good enough'. ~ kitchen counters are shiny and clear of crumbs and sticky stuff ~ ~ table is cleared off with a simple centerpiece ~ ~ bathroom is clean with a fresh hand towel ~ ~ beds are made ~ ~ and everything (mostly) is in it's place ~ I'm learning that I should spend a little more time enjoying the things I have and a little less time on the decorating, rearranging, projects, etc. I'm trying to be better at setting good priorities for myself so my  mind will feel less chaotic and my life will be less stressful!
