Fake Fur Wreath Inspiration

Sorry it has been a while since my last post.  Holidays!  You know how it is!  Thanksgiving immediately became the Christmas season and now it's time to bring out the Christmas decorations.  In fact, today I started decorating the inside of my house.  (I spent previous days decorating the outside.  Busy, busy!)  T…

Happy Thanksgiving!

I am sharing a photo of my three-arrangement centerpiece for my Thanksgiving table.  No time to post all the other photos.  I'm hosting Thanksgiving this year.  Lots and lots of cooking and baking.  I'll try to post them later in the weekend.  Enjoy your day with friends and family!

Fall Accents Around the Home

As I have already said, I love fall decorating...inside and out of my home.  Even in the years I tell myself I am going to skip the harvest decorating and wait until Christmas time, I end up adding touches here and there anyway. I needed something for the space over my fireplace so, I went to Michael's and p…
