Random thoughts on a chilly fall Saturday football morning:

1. I woke up to cold.

Yes.

Chilly. Cold. Crisp. Brisk.

Sweater weather.

And the best part? I’m going to a Baylor football game today and I HAVE A CAPE. Is there anything better than a football game with boots and a CAPE.

I’ll take pictures. 🙂

2. I just posted a new edition of “What I Bought Wednesday” over on my YouTube Channel. I’m sharing tons of fun finds including the cutest candles that come with a remote.

3. How often do you wash your hair? I’ve gone to once a week and it makes SUCH A DIFFERENCE. My hair is healthier and better than it’s ever been.

4. It was an amazing week on the blog. We discussed these super cute affordable fall outfits and these front door ideas that will make you the star of the neighborhood and 21 ways to decorate with faux pumpkins.

5. I’m rewatching Larkrise to Candleford. If you’ve never seen it, it’s the best show about two small towns in England at the turn of the century. It’s so charming.

And now?

Let’s see all the fun finds I’ve discovered for us this week.

It was a good one.

    Love all of the inspiration again, sweet friend! I always look forward to Thistlekeeping! I’m laughing! My phone brought Thistlekeeping up as an option as I began typing! Ya think?! 😂Hilarious!

    Happy autumn weather! We have also had an abrupt weather change here in Michigan. Love wearing my snuggly clothes. Thanks for assembling yet another great lineup--I especially enjoyed the preserving pinecones one (and went on to read about preserving acorns--since I don't want creepy crawlies in my home).

    Yes! I only wash my hair once a week and have for years. I use baby powder rather than dry shampoo to keep it fresh. Feel like it doesn’t give me the yucky texture dry shampoo often leaves. And can we talk about the time it saves to only wash once a week??? 🙌🏻

    I wash my hair once or twice a week. Thankfully, I don’t have oily hair. Mine is normal and can get away with it. Love reading your posts and newsletter.
