• Media Cabinet Halloween Village Display

    Halloween is almost here! Which sadly means October is almost over. It always seems to go by so quickly. My kids are definitely feeling the excitement in the air and can’t wait for trick or treating. I know it’s super last minute, but today, I wanted to share the little “halloween village” I set up on our living room media cabinet for my kids. If you are a regular here, you know we love our holiday villages over here.

  • Fabric Pumpkin Patch

    This is my absolute favorite time of year….the weather, the sweaters, the pumpkin spice lattes, the leaves changing…and of course….the decorating! I love me some fall decorating. This season revitalizes my creative spirit and no matter what life throws at me, I can’t help but partake in making lovely things for fall. Today, I wanted to share with you some new creations I have been working on….I’m calling it my “fabric pumpkin patch.” Several years ago, I shared this post where I gave a quick tutorial on how I made some eclectic fabric pumpkins for fall. Be sure to check out that post if you want to give these a…

It’s been ages since you have seen a post from me….almost a whole year! Life has certainly changed and hasn’t been easy, but I am finding my way on my own and learning to enjoy life again (as best I can as a single mom of four kiddos). I have been trying my best to make life as “normal” and good for the kids as possible and recently went all out decorating for Halloween for them. It is always a thrill to see the smiles…

  • Autumn in the Christmas Village

    Well fancy seeing me show up here today! It’s been quite awhile, hasn’t it? A lot has happened in my personal life in the last year, which very sadly includes the end of my sixteen year marriage. I know that may come as a shock to some of my long time friends and followers here. I won’t sugar coat it….it has been one of the toughest years of my life, but I am slowly picking up the pieces and building a new future for myself. Opening this blog became something I just could not bring myself to do during that time. It was too painful doing things that were “normal”…

  • Getting Back to Etsy & Creating

    Wow, the month of November seems to be slipping right through my hands. I think this month always seems to go this way, which is a bit sad since this is my favorite time of year. It’s that cozy time before it gets too too cold, the leaves still have some color and are covering everything, and the holiday spirit is sprinkling in before the big “rush” to shop for Christmas. But, this season, I decided to change things up for myself and started spending time getting back to creating and listing items in my Etsy shop. And I have some exciting news about a new Etsy shop that I…

  • Vintage Style Halloween Decorating

To tell you the truth, it’s not my favorite holiday, but I have gotten into decorating for it since having children. They love Halloween. I try to find a balance of just enough cute and just enough spooky (and just enough vintage) to make us all happy. Today, I am sharing with you the spooky-ish, vintage style Halloween vignette, I decorated in our living room. We don’t have a mantel above our fireplace in this room, but we do have a bookshelf that works…
