Random thoughts on a brilliantly sunny, chilly almost November Saturday morning:
1. I hope your weekend is full of amazing plans. Around here we are watching football and working on projects and going to dinner. These are the type of weekends I love.
2. I have the most amazing thing to share. Several of my friends (including my sweet friend Courtney from French Country Cottage and Melissa from The Inspired Room) all got together and created a Holidays at Home bundle. So many fun decorating and DIY ideas for the holidays with TEN holiday e-books all bundled together for a fraction of the price.
The bundle price is only good for one more week.
See the entire bundle and all the e-books here.
2. Just posted another edition of “What I Bought Wednesday” over on my YouTube channel including the BEST new organizing solution that I found.
You can see it here.
3. If you are looking for a good historical British drama? You might want to check out Vanity Fair. There are tons of different versions, but my favorite is the one from 2004 with Reese Witherspoon.
4. It was an awesome week on the blog. We discussed the EASIEST way to make a fall mantel and 10 of my favorite rugs from Walmart and how we updated our house for the holidays and how to make a wall that looks like wallpaper.
5. Buddy (our golden) has to go get his teeth cleaned. I wonder if he’ll like going to the dentist as much as I do.
6. Thank you for all the subscription services. I think I’m going to do a round-up of all of them because there were so many great suggestions.
And now?
Here are some of my favorite things I discovered for all of us this week.
LET’S GO.
Has any recipe looked more like fall?
Stuffed baked apples with cinnamon.
This beautiful fall wreath.

Love this post on decorating with vintage quilts.
Especially blue and white ones.

Happy Saturday from a windy yet sunny Pacific Northwest! It sounds like you have some fun plans today. Loved your features, pretty much like I always do.
The benefit of walking a mile everyday? You can eat pumpkin Oreo trifle!!
So fun every week! I think that you used an incorrect link for Round Top--I was sent to MissMustardSeed twice. Not that I'm complaining, since looking at cats and quilts makes me happy.
Oh, so much inspiration. My favorite day when this arrives in my inbox. Loving those sweater covered vases. How perfect to leave through the winter months!
Hello! The link for Round Top takes me to the 'Decorating with Quilts' link. Can you fix it? Love ya, Judi
