FIVE FRIDAY FAVORITES

1) Ruffle Trim Pillows-  I've picked up the cutest ruffle trim striped pillows lately!  First my Grace Harris Collection  block print ruffle pillow covers  that I shared earlier this week, and now look at these striped cuties!   Sadly, this size sold out before I could share with you, but good news that  this print is also available in a 16x24 size .  Love that size for chairs or the middle of a bed or front of a pillow stack on the bed.  The description says "Orange Striped" for the color, but I think it's a very reddish orange and could totally pass for red depending on what you mix it with.  Either way it's adorable!  I found some other fantastic things from H&M home right now, too.  I have some hot pink pillow covers from Ikea that are no longer available and I always get asked about them-  these look like a near perfect match !  I added a monogram to mine, there are other good solid colors to choose from too.  Also, these green and hot pink throws are a ...

30 WALMART BLACK FRIDAY DEALS NOT TO MISS!

I didn't plan to post this today, but Walmart has some good early Black Friday deals running and those thousands of items can be daunting to comb through, so I thought I'd narrow down the list and share some of my faves with you! I've been posting some of these deals on IG and planned to share with you as part of my FFF post, but some deals are going fast and with only a few days left in the sale I didn't want to delay.  I only chose things for my list that have near perfect reviews and are at significant savings, several of these we already own or they went in my cart too! I hope you find some things that will be helpful in your home or to get a jump on your gift list! I've been waiting for this  2 quart slow cooker set  to be available this year.  I missed them last year, they are only seasonal and at $15 for the set they sell out quickly!  This is the PERFECT size for our family when we don't need the big crockpot... it is just right to hold a brick of velvee...

MINI FALL HOME TOUR 2024

I used to do almost as much decorating for Fall as I did for Christmas, but in the past few years I've pared it down a bit.  I'm not sure if there's any specific reason for it, but probably because it's usually still one million degrees until late October at least and it never feels like Fall so it's hard to get in the mood... ha!  If you saw  this year's Fall Porch  a few days ago it's pretty decked out, so I just added a few pieces for Fall here and there inside the house.   I painted these colorful pumpkins several years ago but haven't used them in the past few years, it's been fun to have them out again.   Navy Spiral Candles   ||  Blue & White Bowl or Similar Here , both on sale!  ||  Gingham Painted Pumpkin tutorial here    ||  Coffee Table Books- Modern Mix, Paper to Petal , A Place to Call Home I kept the mantel simple and just added a few magnolia clippings.   Mirror  or similar here ||   Similar Lamps   ||  Temporary Lampshade Tuto...

FIVE FRIDAY FAVORITES

Hello friends!  I'm publishing this post late Sunday afternoon even though I didn't change the title of Five Friday Favorites... busy few days and even though I'm not on time I still wanted to share some great things with you this weekend!  I hope you've had a great one, the weather could not have been more perfect in OKC and it finally feels like Fall!  So, let's get to the goods... My daughter in law told me about  this sweatshirt  and I love it so much that this is my second color to buy.  I bought the green and navy stripes with yellow trim for my alma mater colors, but also fell in love with this pink and orange option.  So fun for team colors or just pick your favorite color combo!  It's a look for less of a pricier Free People sweatshirt, and I can't imagine how the real thing could be any better.   Striped Sweatshirt  wearing sz. L  ||  Affordable Prescription Bifocal Sunglasses I haven't mentioned it here yet but we recently took a last minute ...

MOTHER OF THE BRIDE OR GROOM DRESSES

I hope you've been enjoying the posts related to my son's wedding (I'll list them at the bottom of this post if you've missed any), they celebrated their first anniversary a few weeks ago.  Hard to believe!  I'm down to two more things that I wanted to post about on the topic, today I'm sharing about my Mother of the Groom's dress. It's a big, exciting thing to shop for! A number of years ago, my friend Emily and I met our friend Amy ( @eunamaes on IG ) and her friend Beth for lunch when they were in town to launch Amy's first cookbook .  Our conversation covered all kinds of topics, one of which was the upcoming wedding in Beth's family.  I just remembered her talking about shopping for a dress and how she just wanted a big gathered skirt with pockets and a button up shirt with a collar to pop, and I thought "oooh, that's what I want some day too!"  I don't shop for formal wear much, so when the time came to shop for my own Mot...
