Look what just arrived to a WalMart or grocery store aisle near you.
The Better Homes and Gardens Christmas magazine.
And look at who is on page 10.
Those burlap curtains finally have their star on the Hollywood walk of fame.
I wish you could have been in aisle 4 last night.
It was a party.
My husband bought every magazine they had and promptly handed them out to people in line.
Best Friday night ever. 🙂
If you follow this blog for more than five minutes….you know how much I love to stamp silver.
But for those of you who want a similar look without the actual stamping….
….here’s an easy project from Craftberry Bush.
She painted them and covered the spoon with linen paper and wrote a simple message.
Perfect for your Thanksgiving table.
This is a cherry gallette.
Fancy, right?
Totally the best word to drop into conversation at the next church potluck.
And it’s so easy to make.
You can find the recipe over at Celebrate Creativity.
Best pumpkin idea ever.
I’ve had these pumpkins swirling around in my brain since last fall.
They are calling my porch’s name.
Finding Home you are brilliant.
And in this week’s random news:
Cutest Christmas gift idea ever.
Perfect way to start decorating a room.
I need to make these for Halloween.
I’ve always wanted to learn how to do this.
Love these free rustic graphics for fall decorating.
I need to figure out how to DIY these stools.
Let me know if you have any suggestions. 🙂
Fall home tour on Monday! Hope to see you there. 🙂
Happy Random Saturday to you.
How exciting! I'll run right out and buy my copy today. Congrats.
Kari Ann, it is beautiful! Got my copy already :)
How insanely exciting!! I'm so looking forward to the home tour next week and adore the spoons from Craftberry Bush - thank you for sharing them!
That magazine is on my to do list today!! How exciting for you!!!!
Congratulations! Buying the magazine today. Love Thistlekeeping on Saturday mornings with my coffee. It's a gift from you and I thank you.
You are awesome KariAnne and I LOVE your excitement! Congratulations and well deserved. Will you be a vendor at The Chapel Market next month? I hope so!
Can't wait to grab a copy! BTW, do you have a "tutorial" on the spider web in the last photo? Decorating for fall and I love it!
Ohmigosh! I've been waiting forever to see your BH&G issue! Can't wait to grab my copy later today!
Congratulations, KariAnne! That is so exciting.!!! Thanks so much for doing your Thistlekeeping posts on Saturday or I would be late for work all the time! You always have the best links to check out.
Awesome! Congrats! Will go get my copy :)
No way. I was looking at Laura's blog over at findinghomeonline.com, and was thinking, "I need to email KariAnne to find out if HER MAGAZINE is out yet." AND IT IS!!!!!! OK, I'm thinking a trip to a store SOMEWHERE that has that particular magazine! whoo-hooooooo!!!!!!!!
Congratulations! What a special moment for you! I bet you felt so happy to see your work in a widely distributed publication. My favorite part, though, is the way your husband reacted. He is so proud of you. THAT is special (& totally awesome). Good job! simplysantabarbara.blogspot.com
So happy for you. Being in a magazine has go to be the ultimate for a blogger/Interior Stylist! I want to be just like you when I grow up. Congrats! Jo XX
I love that you and your hubby are a team!!!! I am so happy for you!!!!!
So blasted excited for you and wish I could have been in that Walmart last night with magazines a flyin'. I can just here the background music playing 'Hey KariAnne, what's your game now, can anybody play?' What a fun, fun, way to celebrate. Will look for it on my next trip out.
Congratulations! I cannot wait to read the issue. Your taste is exquisite and I love to see your work celebrated!
I would be doing a happy dance, too! That is so awesome! I wonder if it's a supplement or if you have a subscription to BH&G that it'll be sent? I hope to get it in the mail, soon. If not will look for it on the news stands and will tell someone in line that I (kinda) know this lady.
What an honor! I cannot think of a nicer more talented girl to highlight! Congratulations! I'll be watching for it when I shop!
Congrats, KariAnne! So happy for you. And I love to lurk on Craftberry Bush and look at all that loveliness. Great post today.
Congrats!!! One of your best posts - lots of sharing. Thank you
I picked up a copy last week and as I was thumbing through I saw you and was yelling at my hubby that you were featured! Congraulations KariAnne!! You deserved the feature & it was pretty!
Congratulations! That is absolutely AWESOME! Can't wait to get my copy! And PS wonderful weekend wrap up. I have pinned myself silly! Have a wonderful weekend, bet you are all still walking on clouds!
KARIANNE,!!!!! I am so excited about your beautiful home being featured in the Christmas edition!!!!!!!! So wonderful!!!!! Congrats, again on your expert decorating ideas! CHRISTINE
Wow, BH&G is truly a big deal. Good for you. So nice to be recognized for your talents, and so nice to hear of your husband's response. Well done and am looking forward to getting the magazine.
WHOO~HOO!! How exciting and so well deserved KariAnne!! Knew those draperies would be a star from the first time I saw them :-) Bwg ~~~
Congratulations! I can hardly wait to see the magazine, Karianne! And that spoon idea is too cute!
P.S. I bought my copy today! Loved it!
Congratulations, KariAnne! Your home is lovely! I'll confess that I hadn't noticed that those drapes were burlap before and immediately searched your website for a post about them. Did you make them and do the smocking yourself?
Congratulations upon your publication! I'm so excited for you! After church tomorrow, and fixing dinner afterwards....I'm running right out of the house to drive to Walmart and purchase my copy! Oh! I just can't wait!! Again, Congratulations and I hope this is one of many, many more magazines that your featured in!!!
That's wonderful - Congrats! Also, could your husband BE any cuter? LOVE!
WOO HOO, KariAnne!!!! Congrats :) I can't wait to get to the store tomorrow to get my copy (or copies :))!
Congrats!!! : ) So excited for you! And could your husband be any cuter???
That was a nasty tease, I can't run out to the store right this minute. I have to try to figure out a way before church time to disguise the fact that I accidentally turned myself into a redhead last night. Yep. I did. And all I really want to do is see those amazing pictures of your Christmas house. Bummer. xoxo c
Karianne's curtains!!!!! woot woot!! That is actually what I said out loud to myself, like we are buds :) Well done can't wait for the fall tour... love, Linda
I got my copy yesterday too! It's a beautiful article. Happy for you!
Congratulations, Kari Anne! What an awesome compliment to you and all of your hard work! Can't wait to see the whole article.
Congrats!!!! And thanks for featuring my graphics! XO
This is beyond exciting! Congratulations!! I can't wait to go get my copy!
I saw it on the newsstand on Saturday...it is fabulous! Congratulations, KariAnne :)
OMG! I'm so excited for you KariAnne! Did you run around the store with the magazine open yelling, "This is my house . . . . . this is my house"? Congratulations! Can't wait to buy my copy.
Don't know if you get a chance to read all your comments. I so understand if you don't...as many bloggers don't have 25+ more hours in their day. Just wanted to write and share how I did purchase the magazine you are featured in (Sams Club and 30% off the cover price) and TOTALLY LOVED every word written! The pictures of your wonderful house and family were absolutely AWESOME too! I so admire you.....and words can't express how much you've inspired me through the months and years! Praying and wishing loads of blessing upon you and your family!
I've always told you... best dining room in the world!!! Congrats dear friend! Doing a happy dance for you!
Love this Fall inspired decor! P.S. thank you for inserting the dessert recipe. Would love to try it next party!
