Fall Home Decor

 It's that time of year again when the temps start to cool off and it's time to start thinking about pumpkins.  I still love these pumpkins I found at Wal-Mart last year.

 This is new this year.  I found the wheat and the carafe at Hobby Lobby.  Nothing says Fall like wheat.

 I put my twig/vine balls out again this year with some decorative garland thrown in the bottom of this wire bowl I still love.

 I took this old Gold Canyon Candle jar and threw some assorted pearls inside.  Found the pearls at Michael's for cheap. 

 I found these mung beans at Michael's as well.  The bowl was a gift.  I like the colors together.  It says Fall to me.

And last but not least, I took my white pitcher from Michael's and put some brown eucalyptus inside.  My birthday was this week so I decided to decorate my house as a gift to myself.  My sister got me a fun gift that will be another blog post.  Happy Fall Y'all!

Easter Decor

I got this idea from an Etsy find the other day. However, I was able to find these pretty little eggs at my local grocery store, Macey's, for a lot cheaper and I didn't have to wait for shipping. They were $7.49 for a package of 12 and I bought 2 packages to fill up this cute little wire basket I already had on hand. It feels like the eggs are made from a sturdy styrofoam. That means they won't break and I tried squeezing one just to see how durable they were and it didn't even leave a mark on it. I'm very happy with this little purchase. Happy Easter!

Spring Home Decor

The calendar says it's March 3 so I decided to decorate for Spring. Though, we have just gotten a ton of snow after a very spring like warm winter. I found the glass candlesticks at Hobby Lobby. The greenery balls are from The Quilted Bear.
I couldn't resist this white pitcher with flowers embossed on it. I found it on sale at Michael's. I already had the artificial flowers. I probably found those at Hobby Lobby.
I had this black beaded garland that I found at the Quilted Bear that I just wrapped in circles around my mixing bowl arrangement.
A close up of the white pitcher. It is going to be so versatile to decorate with every season. I love pieces of home decor that I can leave out and change up what I put inside.

This arrangement is on my coffee table. I already had everything on hand. I found the glass stones at either Hobby Lobby or Michael's. The wire bowl is from The Quilted Bear.

Showing the glass theme I have going on in my living room. With St. Patrick's day just around the corner I figured my decor would be just right with all of the green. Wishing you all a wonderful Spring season. Cabin fever is about to end. Yay!

Baby Shower decorations

Wow, it took me forever to get these up. But here they are. My sister's baby shower. I did all of the decorations and had a blast! My sister loves yellow and I love pink so that's where the color combo came from. She is having a baby girl any day now. This is her first baby. I found all the decorations at Zurchers. Love that store.

Valentine's Decor

Well Valentine's day is fast approaching. So I decided to finally take down my Christmas decor and get with the times.
I had all of these things already lying around the house. I just had to put them together.
This is my new carafe I got for Christmas. I already had the mason jar. Love the conversation hearts inside. I used some ribbon from my sister's baby shower invitations. I've been working on getting that all together this week too.

I can't decide if I like the white garland around the two jars or not.

These are my Christmas ornaments but I will leave these out through Valentine's Day. Clark got me new bed sheets and I got him tickets to go to "Wait, Wait... Don't Tell Me!" It's coming to town in February. He loves that show.

I just noticed this is my 100th blog post. I've been blogging for just about a year now and I still love it. Thanks for stopping by.

My sister's wreath

My sister finally got her wreath on her door. I was the culprit behind the delay since I procrastinated gluing it all together for months. Working with dried materials is a very delicate process. I'm used to silk flowers that don't disintegrate in your fingers. But I finally have all of my wreath projects done now. It feels weird not having a wreath waiting to be worked on in my craft room.

My Fun Anniversary Gifts

My husband and I just celebrated our tenth anniversary in August. He knows that instead of an expensive trip, new clothes, or an expensive dinner out I would rather splurge on home decor. Here are the fun things I got to decorate my house with for our 10th.

The pillows and shower curtain came from T.J. Maxx. The rugs and towels came from J.C. Penney. All of this came to just under $200 plus I joined the J.C. Penney rewards program for free and got a $10 gift certificate sent to me in the mail. I went back and got matching wash cloths for $2. J.C. Penney has some amazing sales and the prices at T.J. Maxx are always phenomenal.

Bringing new life to dried flowers

These are some other projects I've been working on lately. Both of these were commissioned by my sister who provided all of the flowers and let me get creative with what to do with them. All I used was a little hot glue and ribbon and I was done. The broom and wreath base can be found at any craft store. I found the wreath at Hobby Lobby for half off. You can't beat $5!
