2026 EASTER DECORATIONS MINI HOME TOUR

Hello friends!  Well, we've moved on from Valentine's Day to Spring and Easter decorations.  Today I'm giving you a little mini home tour of a few spots I've decorated inside the house.  Easter is early this year, I can't believe it's just a little over 3 weeks away!  We'll start off in the Entry.  As usual, my Entry table and Mantel are my favorite spots to decorate seasonally even if I don't decorate anything else.  I started with a pot of faux hydrangeas that have been on my kitchen table for a while, then just added some of my favorite bunnies, chicks, eggs and geese (or are they ducks?) all around.  Faux Hydrangeas ||  Similar Lamps || Pagoda Lanterns (mine is past season but new colors in!) || Polish Painted Eggs || Geese- old At Home || Rabbits- Hobby Lobby || Chicks- old HL We have visited Poland twice, and these hand painted eggs are always one of my favorite souvenirs ( along with Polish Pottery of course!) to bring back.  They......

FIVE FRIDAY FAVORITES

Happy Friday!  And wonder of wonders- this week's Five Friday Favorites is actually getting to you on a Friday! 😆 (Lately I've been tardy sharing farther into the weekend, but back on track today!)  I'm planning to clean up the Valentine's Day porch and honeycomb garland mantel today (it's about time, right?)- the giant porch bow had a good 3 month run! I think I've got a good variety of things to share with you today, hope you enjoy and that you have a wonderful weekend!   These loafers are back in stock with a few new colors too and I can't say enough good things about them!  The quality is fantastic, you won't believe how good that designer inspired buckle looks in person.  They look amazing but the main reason I love them so much is they about the only pair of dressier shoes I can wear all day long and they're still comfortable.  There's a good amount of memory foam in the sole with a slight arch support. Whether I'm running around or......

FIVE FRIDAY FAVORITES

Hello friends, happy weekend and Happy Valentine's Day!  I hope you are doing something fun today with the people you love.  We are going to poke around some thrift and antique stores and have no big plans, we'll just see what the day brings- sounds perfect to me!!  Coming to you again on a Saturday instead of Friday for my Five Favorites this week, but you don't mind... right?  We do have a birthday to celebrate today too... this guy turns 14!!  We adopted him and his brother when they were 6 months old after they had been in a shelter up until that point.  We lost Scout in 2021 and still miss him!  Chief is still working hard at finding the best spot to lounge in the sun every day and settling in to watch tv with us at night (he'll only sit beside you on your left- he's not a lap cat!). 🤣  He got an extra splash of milk in his bowl this morning to celebrate.   Speaking of Valentine's Day (our first date was 34 years ago today!), I rec......

HONEYCOMB BALL GARLAND FOR VALENTINE'S DAY MANTEL {TUTORIAL}

This honeycomb ball garland for Valentine's Day can't help but put a smile on your face!  Although I used red, pink, and white on mine to match the holiday, there is an endless combination of colors you could use to decorate with for birthdays, graduations, wedding showers, anniversary parties, team colors, or a photo op background for any celebration you can think of. Today I'm sharing a tutorial and showing you how I made it!  I first made this garland 4 years ago and was figuring it out as I went along, so I didn't record my process.  After I shared it I was asked quite a few questions about how I made it, so I decided to recreate it this year and document my process in case you want to make one too.  I will say, even after trying to take special care to be able to share detailed steps with you, this truly is more of a "wing it and do whatever works" type of project.  So, I'll share some tips and tricks from my process but you'll just have to WORK ......
