October is flying by and cooler temperatures have finally arrived, prompting me to begin the transition from early fall into later fall and Thanksgiving decor and to start planning for this year’s Thanksgiving tablescape. This post contains affiliate links.
Welcome friends, and welcome fall! Today I am excited to be joining my friend Marty of A Stroll Through Life and 30 talented bloggers for the annual Fall Home Tours! If you are coming over from Savvy Snowbirds or if you just happened to stop by, I am very pleased to have you here! *This post contains affiliate links.
In August we moved into our historic 1920’s red brick home that we purchased and began renovating over a year ago. The renovations took much longer than expected (don’t they always?) so we didn’t end up getting all the rooms completely finished and decorated in time for this tour, but we are really loving how everything is looking for Christmas so far!
Welcome, welcome WELCOME! After months and months of empty promises (we really tried, I promise!) I am finally ready to open our front door and let you take a peek into our new 1920’s American Foursquare home with Craftsman Bungalow elements! Oh boy are we loving it! Although it is bittersweet to leave the yellow brick home, we have no regrets! I had really hoped to have things “finished” in time for fall and had planned for this to be the great reveal post, but there is STILL so much to do. We only moved in about three weeks ago and as you can imagine there are still unpacked boxes and totes everywhere! Nevertheless I decided to go ahead and give you a little “PREveal” of some of the foyer and living room with snippets from upcoming posts where I will show the spaces and decor in more detail.
Happy fall my friends! Don’t y0u just love decorating for this beautiful and cozy season? It is certainly my favorite time to decorate although my “methods and materials” for fall decorating has changed over the years. Instead of using a lot of cutesy store bought fall items, I have been using more natural items or things I can find around the house with fall themes. Dried hydrangeas are one of my must-haves in fall decorating, although I love using them year round too.
Happy Thanksgiving! In observance of Thanksgiving there will be no Thursday Favorite Things Link party this week (we will resume on schedule next week.) Today is a special day to focus on faith, family, friends (and good food of course!)
To honor this special day, here are a few vintage Thanksgiving postcards and Bible verses to remind us to be grateful and to praise the Lord for goodness and everlasting mercies. No matter what is going on in the world around us, Jesus reigns! That is something to be grateful for indeed!
