Fall Fashion

Fall is here and the weather is getting crisp.  I've started to pull out a few winter essentials like boots, sweaters and scarves.  

I love going through all my items when a new season begins and another one ends, because it allows me to donate old items that I no longer wear, hem any pieces that might have holes and pick up a few items that need to be replaced. 

This season I've stocked up on long sleeve shirts, socks, a few sweaters and a new pair of boots.  Have you picked up any new items this fall?

My Two Cents...

My two cents:

- It is guaranteed that I will smudge my nail polish the second I finish painting my nails.

- Waking up to a wet nose is the best way to be greeted the morning.

- The smell of balsam fir will always remind me of the holidays.

- When you take a bit into Lindt truffles the melting chocolate in your mouth is like heaven.

- Fuzzy socks, a warm blanket and a cup of warm apple cider is the best way to end a fall day.

- Soda is a treat for me, and I love to treat myself at least twice a week.


What are your two cents for this Monday?

Pumpkin Decorating

Bright orange pumpkins fill the field as we drive to the local farm.  I love to fill my home with varying sized pumpkins, squash and gourds.  They truly bring the feel and look of fall.  I thought I would be nice to create a post about decorating these lovely fruits.  Now I'm all for carving, creating spooky pumpkin faces, but why not try your hand at something a little different?

Painted Mini Pumpkins - via

First we have some lovely painted mini pumpkins.  Use a color that matches your home decor and throw in a pop color to add some interest.  Here the blogger used white mini pumpkins and painted them with pink.  Head on over to Michaels for acrylic paint and create your own!

Glitter Pumpkin - via

Next we have glittered pumpkins!  You can either paint your pumpkin a color first and glitter just the top, or have fun and glitter the entire thing!  Choose fun colors, like purple to add a little pop to the plain ol' orange and black theme.  Here they used spray adhesive and glitter, how easy is that!
