Random thoughts on a cloudy fall Saturday:
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 went to a fun gala last night with some gold friends from high school.
It was so much fun.
2. Another episode of “What I Bought Wednesday” is live on my YouTube Channel. I’ve been getting the rooms ready for the holidays and I found the BEST sheets and towels.
You can see it here.
3. It’s almost October. Doesn’t the word October just make you smile?
4. It was a great week on the blog. We talked about:
- this DIY football charcuterie board
- this before and after chair makeover
- how to make mums last longer
- this before and after bedroom makeover
- these faux pumpkins
5. Remember how I told you I was trying Noom? I LOVE IT.

Good morning, sunshine! Glad to see you had Thistlekeeping posted for my rainy Saturday morning enjoyment. I love all the warm, texture-filled, natural fall decorating ideas--that's possibly why it's my favorite season. Mmm cozy. Isn't that floating cottage amazing??? Did you see what Niki posted on Friday? I'm moving in! :)
Hi Karianne! Happy Fall! Hsve you watched the show with Molly Shannon and Vanessa Bayer sbout Home shipping network! you might get a kick out of it. Your WIBW are so fun! Denver Broncos we’re trending last Zminday for all the wrong reasons! We can’t even mention the Colorado Buffs!
I saw hedge apples in the picture about decorating with hydrangeas. I would have never thought to decorate with them. My grandparents farm had a tree (Osage-orange)that dropped hedge apples in the fall. They weren't good for anything. haha!
Karianne This is a great autumn post. That house was completely my style. So pretty. Even though I live in a ranch now due to our new build, my heart will forever belong to a two story. The outfits were cute, I put the boots in my cart. Thank you a great read. Jodena
I was curious as to why you changed to NOOM and didn't stay with your original dieting plan,
Jan, Great question! My original dining plan was Optavia! I love Optavia and it worked amazingly well – – but for maintenance I love NOOM. It helps me with the mindset and rearranging my eating habits. I don’t really use it to lose weight I’m using it more for maintenance. Does that make sense? happy day, karianne
the picture at the top of the post with the chippy white chair has the cutest pumpkins on the chair: were they featured in the post? I would love to DIY some!
Of course! Here’s the post: https://thistlewoodfarms.com/diy-felted-wool-pumpkin/ happy day, karianne

Great thistles, KA. I absolutely LOVED that house tour - whew - it's amazing - and especially liked that old post of the before/after gorgeous hutch. Those are my two favs this week. Thank you for the inspiration. Hope you have a good weekend. Go Balor! Go Buckeyes!
KariAnne Fall is here! I’m so excited. Have a great weekend!
Hi KariAnne! Welcome Fall..now if only we could get some crisp fall weather! Fingers crossed it cools off tomorrow in DFW as the weather casters are promising… I love the outfits you featured but when I click on the link and go to Amazon all I see is a big black circle! HELP!
