Random thoughts on a rainy fall morning:
1. There was a saying we used to have in brownies, “Make new friends and keep the old. One is silver and the other gold.” I’m going out to brunch today with some gold friends from high school.
And I can’t wait.
2. Another episode of “What I Bought Wednesday” is live on my YouTube Channel. Remember that mascara that we all loved so much? I found a primer to match.
You can see it here.
3. Doesn’t the word October just make you smile?
4. It was a great week on the blog. We talked about ways to treat yourself that don’t involve chocolate chip cookies and what my favorite color to decorate for fall is and we took a tour of the front porch.
5. One of the twins, Whitney, is coming home today and I have an entire 23 hours to spend with her.
I don’t think I’m sleeping.
And now?
Here are some of my favorite ideas and inspiration from around the web.
Here’s a hint.
All fall. All the time.
When one of your favorite bloggers puts their home tour out there?
You have to share.
This fall tour is the sweetest.
I thought this was such a clever take on the sweater pumpkin.
You could make any pattern you want. Swirls or leaves or giant polka dots.
See the DIY here.
Love following along with this before and after.
Here’s the renovation of this house for an Airbnb.

Love all your beautiful ideas KariAnne. Vermont is beautiful this time of the year and we embrace orange here too🎃😉. Have fun with your daughter😃

Here we are again--Saturday morning, sitting in my car all alone in a parking lot after dropping my daughter off at crack of dawn gymnastics, reading my treat for the day!! Luckily I'm sitting outside a craft store because I see the man in the moon project on the agenda tomorrow, and I also need to get some mums after seeing those gorgeous porches. Enjoy your day with your daughter! Love your writing, love your blog, love you (which my teen would say is strange to share, but what does she know?!)!
Enjoy your time together! Such precious moments!
Your home is Gorgeous. So excited for you. Time with your daughter, every second is precious. I love hearing you talk you are such a Doll. Happy Weekend. I love October too!!

Aww. Mom time with your little girl. Enjoy! Thanks for all the beautiful autumnal links today. Maybe someday soon I'll break down and decorate for fall. Probably not today. :)

Thank you so much for sharing our Fall home tour, KariAnn, I really appreciate it. I was SO CLOSE to not even sharing a Fall home tour this year because we have a lot going on behind the scenes and it just didn't feel good enough. I can't tell you how much this means to me! Thank you for always celebrating creativity (even when we don't feel confident) Big hugs and thank yous, CoCo
PS: Hope you had so much fun with the girls! PPS: I was so excited to be featured I forgot to spell check and add the E to the end of your name 🤦♀️(heading to get more coffee right now 🤣) Sending you hugs!
